What indicators are there that somebody is likely to be successful?

I love the first meeting you had with Andreessen where he showed up and asked you to be on the board.

Maybe you can tell that story.

Where does that fearlessness come from?

You have never seemed to shy away from a confrontation.

That's incredible.

I've never heard that before.

Well, don't share it much.

That's an incredible story.

Do you think that makes you a hard target?

That's so true.

I've been thinking a lot about the coming back to the dignity thing for a second and allowing people to keep their dignity.

Are there any other lessons you learned from Michael Crichton?

You said, I think, in the past that he was the smartest person you knew.

How can you say that, though, if your kids turned into amazing human beings?

What's an example of a mistake you made that we can learn from?

Just pick one.

You got 20 hours, I can tell you.

I got all the time in the world.

how do you think that woke culture has influenced not only universities, which you're seeing firsthand, but also like film and TV?
