Um, so he kind of outsources that to people below him, but he's not very good at choosing those people sometimes.

So I think Turner's will be better at a lot of those things.

Um, so that overall, that's a promising part of this, but also I think this is not unrelated to Alan Dye's departure.

I suspect this has kind of been in progress for a while.

This kind of thing does not just happen and surprise everyone around it.

All the top executives and top people, including Alan Dye, probably have known about this transition for longer than we have.

And my guess is that part of why Di left is that some part of Ternus and Di wasn't going to work together, and one or both of them knew it.

I'm guessing these are actually related to each other, and that once Di saw the tide shifting towards Ternus,

Somehow they realized this isn't going to work, and he started looking around.

That's my best guess.

Because again, the people up at that level, they know what's going on.

They're not idiots.

We only hear a drop in the bucket usually after everything has happened.

So odds are this was all related.

But also...

having turnus be the executive sponsor and we have to kind of figure out what that means we'll talk about in a second but like that i think is promising because i'm guessing turnus was involved in the selection of um steven i forgot his last name again

Oh my god.

Sorry, Steve.

I've forgotten your last name like four times in four consecutive episodes.

I'm guessing Stephen LeMay being elevated to this position was also not unrelated to Ternus' taking over.
