I think when you have so much

Digital content that is in your pocket and it's all free or free to consume, it becomes less valuable and maybe less authentic to you.

Well, they're doing it with live music now.

That's where the money is gone.

The money is, you know, really moved to live.

It used to be, you know, in the 90s and 80s and everything, people would go on tour to support their record sales.

And now it's the reverse.

You release a record so you can go on tour and sell tickets.

It wasn't at Pandora very long because we sold it to SiriusXM.

I was thinking about what I wanted to do next, and I was fortunate enough to be in process in four different companies.

Two were in New York, two in LA.

We're from LA, so LA had a lot of...

attractions for us.

And I was flying back and forth between New York and LA and having trouble deciding what I wanted to do.

And my wife was like, usually you're so decisive.

I was like, I know, it's really tough.

And then I finally realized on one of these flights that when I'm sitting there, I had all the information on all these companies.

Every time I'd go to the Condé Nast information, I wanted to read about that.

And that's literally how I made my decision.

That's the most intellectually interesting to me.
