Andy is here as a lifetime learner and a model of intellectual and emotional humility.

And then as soon as Andy started, we were like, oh my God, he's got it.

So here is Andy Lotz on the TED stage.

Thank you.

That was Andy Lotz speaking on the TED 2025 stage.

Stick around for a deep dive into what went into making this talk with Andy, the questions that are still lingering for me, and why I think we should all work with our friends more.

Coming up after a quick break.

When I was watching on stage, I felt like Liz Latz, my friend, his wife, was coming alive a little bit.

Towards the end, they showed this picture of Liz and the kids.

It's like one of the best pictures I've ever seen of motherhood.

So the kids are jumping up and down on a sofa and she is both delighted at their joy and also terrified that one of them's gonna fall and break their ankle.

And it's just one of the best photos of Liz that's ever been taken.

And then Andy came off stage to this enormous standing ovation and we just lost it.

Our interactions around Andy's talk were so emotional.

I mean, we both cried every time we talked.

But Andy's so good at crying.

He's just gotten so good at it that he just takes off his glasses and pats his eyes dry.

And you can tell that he's having a little moment, but he just keeps moving.

And so we've learned how to talk through our tears over the last nine years.

But I want to tell you, when he was giving that talk, I thought two things.
