I was like, yeah, I remember you.
He's like, can we try this again?
I was like, yeah, we can try this again.

Bill...
has an incredible ability to see around corners and be visionary in making bets before they're obvious.
So going into Europe, going to the emerging markets, going into consumer, going into life sciences, pushing me now to go into robotics and humanoids.
He has an incredible ability to look around corners.
He also, in managing the partnership and us, has heart.
