And I'm very, very proud that most people online feel like they can, they can be their full self. But the fact that a lot of people don't feel like they can bring their full self to work is maybe the answer to your question, Harry, that I still think there's a lot of work to be done.

Yes, it was definitely very hard. I came out very young, though. I came out to my parents when I was, I think, like 11 years old. So I think the hardest thing was, I think my mom was like, do you even know what you're talking about? What does it mean to be gay when you're 11? And I think that's a fair question.

But I just remember thinking, like, whatever people are describing, that doesn't feel like reflects who I am. And I felt like I wanted to be honest and transparent with my parents about it. And they were good.

I would love to be the CEO of Lyme. When I was in the hospital, the thing that I thought most about was how can I get back to work? A lot of people say like, what did you change after suffering a stroke? And I think a lot of people maybe think the answer would be, oh, I want to have this big change in my life.

The thing that always really struck me was when I debated deeply, do I want to quit my job, go do something totally different, especially if life is short? Is this what I want to spend the rest of my life doing?

And the incredible thing was when I really asked myself that question, I was like, yes, I want to, even if I'm going to die in the next five years, I want to be spending the next five years working on Lyme's mission to decarbonize transportation. I left the hospital. I was in a rehab, in an inpatient rehab. The next day after I left the hospital, I went back to work full time.

If today was your last day, what would you do? I would probably try to see my friends, my family, my significant other. The people of my life really is the thing that makes this life worthwhile. I threw myself a big 40th birthday party a month before my stroke, and a hundred friends from around the world flew in to Santa Fe, New Mexico, where I was living at the time, to celebrate.
