I mean, I'm sure you've heard the chatter.

There was a memo that was floating around the Bloomberg News obtained earlier this week saying that there were layoffs coming at the Converse brand.

But as you sort of move in this process, 16 months on the job right now, I don't want to ask you how long you're going to be here.

I mean, you know, you're 62.

You're so young.

But what is the runway?

Call me out on my age.

I mean, you know, but you're I mean, what are you like?

You're only the fifth CEO of this company.

I don't even know that.

So you're in rare air here, pun intended.

And I guess the question is, like, what do you want this company to be?

So when you finally leave, you know, maybe many years from now and that sixth CEO takes over, what is the company that you leave behind?

What is Nike?

All right.

Well, Elliot, really appreciate you joining us today.

All right.

And hopefully you can get a check on the podium and you can see some of your athletes there.

I'm here right now with Brian Nickel, fresh off his investor day here in New York City and fresh off an earnings report that actually seemed to please a lot of investors.

You're five quarters right now into your tenure as CEO of Starbucks, and you put together a couple of quarters of growth, something that the company hadn't seen in quite some time.
