I would say one person I want to give a shout out to is Mark Bertolini, the CEO of Oscar Health. He wrote a great book about his health struggles and he suffered, I believe, a ski accident. His book is fantastic. I think it's called

And hearing that from somebody like Mark, who's been a phenomenal CEO and his turnaround of Oscar has been one of the most incredible things I've seen over the last couple of years. But also the kindness that he took two hours out of his busy day just to listen to me and almost like, play the role of a psychologist. And the feedback and the advice he gave me was so wonderful.

The positives of this year struggling with a stroke is that I got to meet a lot of people. Almost every CEO that I meet have had their own health struggles and have had their own challenges. And how do we normalize all of us talking about them more so that when you are in a hospital half paralyzed and trying to imagine how do you make a comeback, You don't feel like you are alone on that journey.

And that was the thing that was probably the scariest. I was like, am I the only CEO who's going to have to figure out how to overcome a stroke and get back to work and hopefully lead Lyme to higher, greater heights? But the more we talk about it, the more we support each other. Hopefully the less taboo it becomes as a topic.

I believe micromobility is the future of urban transportation. That in 20, 30 years, we're going to be shocked that we had a system where each person owned a car and drove themselves in a 4,000, 5,000 pound tank around the city, generating the biggest carbon pollution of the last hundred years and killing over 1.3 million people a year.

This is the fact that always shocks me that we don't talk enough about. Cars on a global basis kill more than 1.3 million people every single year. We don't even talk about it. We accept that as the cost of doing business. Imagine if like when 737 Max killed a couple hundred people, we grounded the plane and said, we're not going to allow this to fly until we figure out what's wrong.
