I just sort of see myself as one of the group. But I've come to learn that, yes, I'm a leader.
I mean, I'm very curious about other points of view. I'm very curious about things I don't understand. And I think by my nature, if I'm having a debate with someone, and I don't mean like me directly debating with them, though that's true sometimes too, but like when someone in the world that I know has a different point of view than me, I'm curious why they have that point of view.

It doesn't mean I'm still going to agree with them.

But I'm always curious how the other side got to what they believe. And I don't think I'm inherent, I'm not a contrarian. Like I know people who, no matter what you say, they have to have the opposite point of view. That's not the case at all. But I'm curious what I'm not seeing and I'm curious what I'm missing.

And sometimes if it comes out as an alternative perspective, and you have to remember, I have strong opinions loosely held. I sound very confident in everything I say, but if you tell me one thing that makes me doubt myself, I'll be like, oh yeah, that's a good point. And at the same time, I rarely think I'm right. I just think I have a point of view.

And I like when I have to justify that point of view. I like when people challenge me, do I even understand my own logic as to how I got to my own point of view? Or does my logic crumble, which forces me to evaluate my own point of view? I hold myself to the same standard I'm going to hold somebody else to, which is I want to understand your point of view.

Oh, 100%. I mean, we have to remember how we got to where we are right now in terms of understanding sort of leaders and leadership of the modern day. You know, when in the 70s and 80s, in the late 70s, early 80s, you had Milton Friedman, this economist, who sort of philosophize about what the responsibility of business was.
