He wanted to empower everybody of all abilities to be able to use technology for themselves. And his compass was generous. His manner was not. And in the end, I think he wished that his manner had been different. So I think that's probably the best example that I can give. Most of the great leaders that I worked with, John Chambers and Andy Jassy and many others, actually were generous people.

They worked harder than those people around them to create success for others. Some of them were very myopic and maybe didn't have the best interpersonal skills, but I don't know that they were I wouldn't say they were not generous.

I think that maybe they just didn't understand generosity, which again is one of my goals is to help people understand what generosity is, how simple, very simple, easy things when done with the right intent can make a tremendous impact in the world.

I think that greed is a big part of it. And the reason I say greed is because there are powerful entities and people who are using divide, who are using conflict and creating conflict amongst parties to line their own pockets with money. When you have a media, all of our media outlets, there's not a single good one out there, right? They're not reporting news anymore. It's all opinion.

And it's all opinion to create divide and conflict. When you have such powerful entities that are trying to do that, it's difficult for the single person standing on a mountaintop to get people to understand. Now, I will say there are some really strong and powerful people that are focused on consciousness and generosity now. And we're beginning to see some of that effect.

And I'm not going to give you any names, but I'm fortunate to be on the inside of some of that. And I am hoping that those people can create, like you and I talked about earlier, collaboration. respect for each other. I don't have to agree with everything you say.

In fact, I never will agree with everything you say, but I can respect your opinion, and I can respect you as an individual, and then I can respectfully disagree, and we can be fine together. But it is now, it's almost if a lot of media is promoting that if you don't agree, then you should hate the person that you disagree with. And that is incredibly dangerous, in my opinion. What do you think?

Yep, I would agree. And you'd be surprised the people that are generous that you might not expect. Two and a half years ago in a hot tub at a hotel in the island of Lanai and Elon Musk and Grimes and X walked up to the hot tub. We sat there and chatted for probably 45 minutes. We weren't anybody in comparison to him.

He was considerate and gave us conversation and we laughed and he talked about a German movie that he had watched and was all animated. He could have just... turned and walked away, but he didn't. He was considerate, and I considered it to be a very generous thing that he did. He left a very positive impression on me, like he really cared about people.

I'm sure when you're that wealthy, there's all kinds of limitations. And I know there were security guards in every direction, all in black, that we couldn't see. But he really stopped and cared about the conversation he was having with us. And that gives me hope. It really does give me hope that there are people, powerful people out there that will help us make a difference.
