Because that's the first thing that comes to mind.

But I think what you describe and, you know, maybe I'm projecting because I'm a psychologist by training, but you have a deep psychological role here.

understanding, interpreting and improving some of the dynamics that exist there and aligning.

I mean, alignment is key to any leadership role, but a lot of the times people think about leadership as tied to these formal titles, the CFO, the COO, the CEO, and you have various roles, but

It seems from what you're saying that you see the actual process of influencing as something separate and more dependent on soft skills or other competencies.

How do you think about that?

Staying with purpose matters.

What role does it play in your firm and in your career?

And did you find that over time or was it always there, you know, from the beginning?

Yeah, and it's a great illustration of how the best investment starts with investing in people.

Nothing matters more than investing in your future leadership talent and harnessing that potential.

Now, two things that have been happening over the past...

100, 200 years is poverty has been trending downwards and wealth has been increasing.

Some of the figures that I want to highlight here, according to a recent UBS report, the US alone added 1,000 new millionaires a day in 2024.

And there's almost 3,000 billionaires now in the world, up almost 9% from the previous year.

And I'm sure, Stephen, you're going to say that's what's reported.

It's probably even higher than that because we only see maybe the tip of the iceberg.

So hopefully our listeners, our viewers are about to sell their company for a couple of billions or 1 billion or maybe have this money.

Who should be thinking about this kind of setup?

Well, that could actually lead to a big marital dispute, I've got to say.
