Father Time's not stealing, but you're robbing yourself. And I think you're right. And I think. As humans, we overlook it. I love that you have this pattern that you do, right? And I have one very similar, as I said. The other thing I do is if I know I'm going to be short on sleep, I'll steal a nap.
Religiously. Oh, yeah. Like those 20 minutes to me are everything.
I'm one, 20 minutes a day, call the shots. It's a nice little reset. That's it. It's like I got to reset this brain because I owe it to myself to do it.
And when you explained yours to me today, now I've got a new, like that's a new thing I'm going to focus on is the pattern at night because I have it in the morning.
But at night I got to get better reminding myself, turn it off.
Just shut it all down.
Sorry, Sage. You're the one. Say goodnight.
People know where the door is.
It really is about taking care of yourself. It's like when I think about, I didn't expect to be, to get this healthy over this last year and a half, but it was like, Lauren, I'm going to do this with you while you're going through what you're going through. Just do it. Here are the things I need you to do. And we did it.
And I think that makes, mentally, that's helped me get really strong again, too. And I think there's a connection, right?
It's a lot has changed. I mean, I've changed. And I think, you know, the same rule that built us people, you know, Jerry used to say, Lauren, don't worry about all the AI and the technology. We'll do that anyway. We have to do that anyway, but let's not lose sight of why we're here. It's because of people.
And we're going to always be connected to people. And, you know, it's funny. Somebody played a little message. I won't say who because he's probably not supposed to. I'm probably not supposed to say it. But somebody played a beautiful message in a meeting that they have with Warren Buffett recently to me. And the message was very much like what J.R. would say to me.
It said, don't worry about all the technology that's out there. It was very recent. Don't worry about all the technology. Worry about people. As long as you, whoever takes care of their customer the best, whoever takes care of their people the best, wins ultimately. And so for me, that's my number one goal.
You know, how to make returns easier, how to make purchasing faster, how to do things for people, get what people want, you know, have the ultimate human new store somehow.
You know, I want to do things that people want. I want to hear what they want. And I want to activate.
And for me, that's the future for us. And I want to do it better than anybody. Cause you know, you can, you can, there's, you know, Amazon's the biggest seller in the world, right? Everybody's buying. You can't beat that. But, What you can do is be really great at taking care of your people, your customers, making sure it's easy for them. Make sure you deliver faster.
Make sure the returns are easier. Make sure you have a connection. Make sure you know what they want. Make sure they can actually talk to a person. And I think we've gotten really good at that over the last two years, especially. You know, Jerry used to say all of our work will catch up with us one day, and it has.
And I think I'm investing a lot of time and money into making that better and being there with the people. I think that makes a big difference. You know, I did 40 cities this year in literally 64 days or something.
It was crazy.
Yes. And I'm leaving, you know, Monday for Southeast Asia and doing a tour out there. And I think... I wouldn't have been able to do it unless this were right. And unless I was on, you know, didn't know where I was going and I do.
