And do put yourself on the hook for those.
in a much more meaningful way than the one year, or at least say more people in this organization really are on the hook for the three to five year and be explicit about what that is than it is for the one year.
The other part is all businesses that have this dynamic, they require a great degree of transparency from all your stakeholders in order for you to ride those waves.
Because if your business is opaque, not understood, and volatile, that's a recipe for ultimately not being supported through difficult times.
I try to always remind myself and my leadership team that transparency is what allows you to have autonomy.
No transparency, no autonomy.
Critically important, difficult to deliver, and people don't always focus on it.
This is the one question I knew was coming.
I've thought about it.
I had so many thoughts on who I should describe.
I've been fortunate to have many.
I'm going to come back and maybe do something that I haven't seen others say on your podcast.
I'm going to come back and say the kindest thing is this group of people that have fought for constructed pathways for legal immigration to the United States.
So my gratitude is to America and my gratitude is
to the people that for reasons they didn't have to allowed people like me to come to America, to have a very, very, very different life than I would have otherwise had.
to allow me to have an impact on people that are in my vicinity and surroundings, hopefully a positive one, and to find a way to learn from that gratitude and continue to have pragmatic optimism that America is essential to the world.
It is still the shining city on a hill, and I want to do whatever I can to remind people of that, to contribute to it.
And every single day, be grateful for being an American citizen.
