With all the problems that we have in our society, it's actually better to be more bold and find solutions that might not exist or something that can really break through and solve the problems that we face and just trying to do things a little bit incrementally better, a little counterintuitive.

But that allows you to really carve out your own space to operate and really carve out a space

for you to get people's attention, attract the type of support you need, and people rally

around the mission.

I think the mission is super important.

And so I think that has been central to everything I've done is that there has to be a mission that you're rallying around that you really believe in and devote everything to it.

But if you're doing something and devoting yourself to it already, you should do some, you should even bolder in your plans.
