It's not really fair for the candidate in this job to stay as an employee

which I did.

It's a serious appearance.

And so I had been approached by somebody called ByteDance, which I had picked up.

For years, we had just recently seen our fellow ByteDance, which is a Chinese company.

Would you like to be on the board?

And we kind of know the board of ByteDance.

None of the time I was doing it, because all I loved was me.

I thought I'd be a good shot.

I thought I'd be a good VC.

Basically, I thought that would be my path at that point.

Well, I didn't get a CEO job.

huge, almost huge collective growth during the pandemic.

And so I moved to, you know, moved to Disney and became the CEO of TikTok, which I did do.

So I went from Disney, the American TV company, to TikTok, the Chinese social media company, and that was crazy.

That was so funny.

And even worldwide, TikTok was being examined at the time.

I've heard about that over the years.

And even then, I knew that was an issue.
