And the board's like, okay, cool. I'm glad you're using AI. Nobody really thinks that's enough, but everyone's doing it for each other. I would say that one way to, I think, make money is the more that you're not doing that, the more that the companies you work with are either, hey, we've looked at it, it doesn't work for us, here's why, or this is a huge deal for us.

I'm like a feel person on a lot of stuff. If you think about the only real job of a board beyond like some very highly legal corporate governance stuff, it's like, do you have the right CEO? And if you're on a board right now and you just see how you feel at each company you're on the board of, do you have the right CEO? You feel amazing right now if you have the right CEO.

truly like this is a place where I feel very, very, very lucky, which is if you have a right CEO, you're like, okay, cool. They're going to ride this wave. They're going to figure this out. They're going to go embrace this.

If you're a public company board member and you don't have that feeling right now, I think you got to examine why do you not have that feeling and what are you going to do about it? And ideally what you do is that person is somebody who actually does want to embrace this, but is nervous about something board related.

And what you want to do then is appease their fears of like, no, we want you to go and play. We want you to play free. We want you to go figure this out. I think that if you don't have somebody who wants to embrace this, not because of board fear, but because of their capabilities or because they don't want to play in this next chapter of the game, like you got to figure that out.

I definitely think as a board member, remembering that you don't get to help in a lot of ways on a public company board, but the one or two ways is really asking a good question every once in a while that makes a big difference. This is a good time to ask one of those questions and see how you feel in a world of accelerating change. This is something Doug Leone would always say.

He would talk about the accelerating change. I will add the second part. In a world of accelerating change, how do you feel about the person leading your business? You probably either feel like amazing or you feel nervous.

There's been a bunch. Maybe I'll describe it more as like the spirit of the conversation. This is probably the thing that I really hope comes through the most. The conversations that have been the most impactful to me all have this element of insane humility in them, which is, wow, there is a lot happening. I don't totally understand it. I need to go and figure out more.

All of them, they're not assertions as much as they are curiosity. They're so much of like, oh man, there is a lot going on. I got to get closer to the metal. I got to do more truth seeking. The conversations that have been the most interesting are all like that. There are people that are really trying to like listen.

There are people that are really trying to get closer and they are all people that are sort of, I don't know if confused is the right word, but certainly like, man, there is a lot going on right now. And that humility is probably the thing that I'm most attracted to in a conversation right now about these topics, which is, here's what I know. Cool.
