Hi there. I've just had the most incredible experience of my life, having been allowed to interview Satya Nadela, the CEO of Microsoft, which is now the most valuable company in the world. Wow.

Satcha, you are the CEO of the most valuable company in the world.

What's on your mind these days?

Look, to me, Nikolai, first of all, it's great to be with you and have this conversation.

What's top of mind for me is twofold, right? One is I'm grounded in the fact that in our business, in tech business, now this is my

32nd year at Microsoft, I know that for a fact that there's no such thing as a franchise

value.

And so that means every day you have to get up and hopefully you're

doing things that are going to be relevant tomorrow. And so to me, that's sort of perhaps

the biggest lesson learned over all these decades and years. And so here we are on what is

essentially a complete new platform shift that we are in the midst of, right? I kind of say it's my 32nd year,

but it's year two of my fourth platform shift. And so what's on mind is, okay, what is this

platform shift really all about? And as a company, can we be all in and innovate? Right. I mean,

at the end of the day, when I say there's no franchise value,

it also means that you get to play for it all up again.

Even the battles we won and the battles we lost are all up for grab again.

And so therefore, there's a freshness to it.

So what's on my mind is, you know, that ability to ground myself back yet on another

platform shift and it's exciting.

The fact that there is no franchise value, does that make you nervous?

Absolutely.

I mean, it should make every one of us nervous, right?
