EAs, EAs are overlooked.

Let me tell you, you become best friends with an executive assistant.

I hope they're not all becoming bots in a few years.

But some of the, oh my God, I have gotten so much from EAs who I've developed really strong relationships with.

And I think it's yes and, right?

I hate the but.

I'm like, yes and is what I like.

Yeah, I've just been studying the marketplace for the last few years, like many of us have been.

And you think about what's happening with AI and the race to embrace AI.

You think a lot about roles that are being eliminated, tech over hiring, all these things converging.

And I start to think, well,

Is it really about the titles and the boxes?

Or are we moving to a place where you're just going to be chasing those high value projects and putting your best talent, especially with, I mean, it's a cliche now, change being constant.

The ambiguity is constant.

Whether it's the economics that we're living in today, whatever administration's in charge, whatever legislation's, I mean, every day there's something that businesses have to react to.

So how can you be in a place where you have these people in boxes and titles?

Now we go back to the ego piece, which you talked about, but that's how I derive my value, right?

I've been working so hard to become a vice president.

And now you're just going to say, I'm like, meet a Malik director.
