Well, so let me give you the twist on it, because I do think this is the key to what makes him so unique. So the fact that he is, you know, he talks a lot about this, like every year there's a big thing he wants to learn. Right. And he like throws himself into it.

And I know a lot of CEOs who like talk a big game about always wanting to be learning or whatever, and growth mindsets have become super popular after that. But I think the piece that Mark does that other people don't always see from the outside is this extreme humility and amazing self-awareness. So he knows when he doesn't know something and he doesn't just go in to learn it.

He gives himself or he used to, and I don't, I'm not close to him anymore, but he would really put himself in a position of extreme humility and he had no ego in the fact that of, oh, I don't know this thing. I have to posture like I know it. He'd be like, I don't know this thing and it's vital.

And I learned this firsthand because at one point I was like, why is this person giving me so much access? Because really at the beginning, he was like, why do we need press?
