It can be that if you're a musician, you want to be the best musician possible.

You want to play this piece that you never thought you're even capable of.

If you're a business person, you want to create shareholder value.

If you're a family person, you want to have a great family, a loving family where you see your kids do amazing things, that your friends do amazing things.

And I think what fights complacency is always striving to do something bigger in life.

And that enables you to always be pushing for that next step, for that next level, and be able to drive for that.

I think I break it down between business and between the personal life.

In terms, I'll start with the personal life.

I think having a family and friends, I like to have an enriching life when it comes to the people you surround yourself with.

And spending a lot of time with my family, with my kids, seeing my kids grow into beautiful adults and beautiful human beings is a big ambition for me.

And seeing them just be good people is big.

From a work perspective,

I think it's doing meaningful work.

It's actually building companies, seeing people succeed.

It's seeing effectively folks do things they didn't think were possible, be able to provide for their families and have constructives and happy lives as well.

And that could be in business, could be different type of companies, could be something that truly has an impact, something that meaningfully impact people's lives for the better.

So I mentioned earlier on that one of the most important things that as a CEO you have is where you spend time, where you spend your personal time and then where you have your organization spend their time.

And I think I once got a very good piece of advice that when you're trying to do a lot of things, naturally you have less time, but you also have to simplify

and the targets and the things that you are driving to what is the most important.

So when it comes to family, obviously when you're doing a lot of things at work, you have a limited amount of time, but I try to make it the most amount of meaningful time that I can.
