Full transcript

1. 0:00Do you think having your wife in your
2. 0:02life has been essential to the massive
3. 0:04success you've achieved?
4. 0:06Mine changed my life.
5. 0:09Oh, that was it. Uh yeah, I think I
6. 0:12think I would have been successful
7. 0:13financially without Leila because I was
8. 0:15successful financially without Leila
9. 0:16before. Um I think the degree of success
10. 0:19and the speed of the success
11. 0:20um I can't play out another life, but
12. 0:23Leila absolutely the longer we have been
13. 0:25in business together, the more I think
14. 0:27the success
15. 0:28um
16. 0:30Well, I would not have achieved the
17. 0:31level of success that we have at this
18. 0:33rate.
19. 0:34Um for two main for two very I'll give
20. 0:36you two very tactical reasons why.
21. 0:39Should I give you three? Um
22. 0:40number one, Leila's decision-making
23. 0:43um
24. 0:45paired with my kind of ideation has been
25. 0:47the combination that has made everything
26. 0:48work. And I think that in a lot of ways
27. 0:50she makes more decisions than I do in
28. 0:52the business on a daily basis, and some
29. 0:54of the decisions that she makes I would
30. 0:55not have made, and her decisions were
31. 0:57better.
32. 0:58And so I would say from number one, she
33. 1:00would she has helped me avoid many
34. 1:03calamitous mistakes
35. 1:05that would have probably set me back
36. 1:07many years.
37. 1:08Um
38. 1:09number two,
39. 1:12>> [sighs]
40. 1:14>> Leila is exceptional at managing and
41. 1:17leading people, and that is probably a
42. 1:19larger deficiency for me than it is for
43. 1:20her. Um and so we would not have been
44. 1:22able to attract the level of talent that
45. 1:24was required to pursue the level of
46. 1:25opportunity that we're going after today
47. 1:27um if it had been just me. I think that
48. 1:30because I also don't think I would have
49. 1:31had the the level of track record to
50. 1:32attract the level of talent either. And
51. 1:34so if you look at the company like I'd
52. 1:36say the company is by and large more
53. 1:37loyal to Leila than they are to me um
54. 1:39because Leila's the one who actually
55. 1:40like leads
56. 1:42like the company from a day-to-day
57. 1:43perspective internally.
58. 1:45Um
59. 1:47I think the third reason, and this is
60. 1:48one that will probably surprise a lot of
61. 1:49you, is that Leila I think actually has
62. 1:52bigger aspirations and the dreams than I
63. 1:54do.
64. 1:55And I had material goals that I wanted
65. 1:58to hit, and I would say that in the
66. 1:59short term, I was more motivated to hit
67. 2:02those goals than she was.
68. 2:03But in the long term, as we've surpassed
69. 2:05those goals, like beyond needing money
70. 2:08for anything else, her desire to make an
71. 2:10impact, and her desire to, more
72. 2:13importantly, build an environment that
73. 2:14people love to work in,
74. 2:16um has been a greater contributor to our
75. 2:18continued growth,
76. 2:20um and I would say, like, pushing and
77. 2:21striving uh to do more. And so, I think
78. 2:24those are the three reasons why um I
79. 2:26would not have had the level of success
80. 2:28that we have had
81. 2:29um if I had done it alone, or it would
82. 2:31not have happened on this fast of a time
83. 2:32table.
