  Speaker 1: On the Newist twelve year tennial. That's because revenue saw
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: a group of more than eighty percent did bold things,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: did transformational things.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: She's created a new billion dollar brand every other year.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: For forty one women.
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: See, she transformed that company.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Did things that people at that time criticized me for,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: but now call it pression. This idea that she she
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: financially moved not just Pepsi, but arguably the whole industry.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: She was the first woman to the CEO of PepsiCo.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: She was the first woman of color to be a CEO.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: She heard a company that was very out of step
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: with what younger people.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: She's always thought bigger than just Pepsco.
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: I travel out to New York to hear the story
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: of one of the most incredible CEOs of our time,
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: a woman who defied all odds in Renui. Today's documentary
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: was powered by Shule, a quick, affordable.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: And nutriuliquidly source of food.
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: Find out more with the link below.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: I've had many failures, okay, And if I said that
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: I didn't have failures, I'd be lying. But failures make
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: you stronger if you choose to learn from them. You
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: can go to school on why you failed, not just
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: why you failed when somebody else failed. Why did they fail?
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Go to school, put the steps down of what they did,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: which step was done wrong? Where did they miss something?
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Use it as a teachable moment. Don't just say oh
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: my god, I failed and grieve and then go on
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: to the next failure, because if you don't learn from
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: this failure, you'll commit the same mistake again. You've got
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: to grieve. I mean, grieving is human. You gotta grieve.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: If I told you, oh, I just brush it off,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: then you really don't care. I want you to care,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: care enough to learn from what went and then make
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: sure it doesn't happen again. So you've got to have
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: that courage to go back and learn from things, as
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: opposed to who should I blame? That's a terrible, terrible
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: thing to do. Don't ask who should I blame? Just
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: ask yourself what went wrong? Different mindset. So I'm not
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: a posted child for routines, So don't use my morning
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: routine or night routine or whatever. It's an unusual one.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: I don't sleep much. I'm one of those genetic people
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: who struggle to sleep. So the advantages I could get
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: bound four or five hours of sleep, so it gave
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: me nineteen to twenty hours to read, work, do other things. Second,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: I speed read so I can go through documents, huge
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: documents fast and retain them and somehow connect them in
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: my head. So this combination of speed reading, connecting dots,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: and not sleeping enough gave me these wonderful, valuable hours
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: to be able to do a lot more than an
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: anybody else could do. So, you know, I'd usually be
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: up by four or five, have my cup of coffee
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: and plow through a lot of reading material, get to
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: work by eight, to drop my kids off in school,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: go to work. I'd be at work all about six,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: come back home, dinner with the kids, help with homework,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: start reading again, go to better around midnight. That was
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: a routine I kept right through my working life. In
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: retrospect sounds awfully tiring. But I gave up everything that
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: was personal, meaning going to ball games or go into shows.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I gave up all that. I just worked, worked, you know,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: worried about the kids, the family just worked. That's it,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: just those priorities, family, kids, work. No, I didn't choose
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: to come into this world. Somebody put me to this world,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: and I think we're all in this world for such
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: a short time. How many of the years you live
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: it still short versus overall, you know, humanity. I think
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: that you've got to think about contributing the most in
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: the time that you're on the earth. My name is
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Inra Nui. I was born in India, and in those
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: days where I grew up, especially in the south of
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: India and Madras, our women didn't work, women didn't go
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: to college, and came to the United States. In nineteen
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: seventy eight, they came to the airport, saw me off,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: daughter of theirs, was going eight thousand miles across the ocean,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: and they won't see me for a while. It was
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: a brave act on their party, sending across the oceans,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: and the rest is history. I was born into a very,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: very progressive family where my father and grandfather basically said,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: the girls in the family are going to be treated
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: exactly like the boys are being treated. So we're going
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: to let you guys study as much as you want,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: as long as you get good grades. We're going to
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: let you do whatever you want, fly so dream. We're
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: not going to hold you back because of your gender.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: So in many ways, in a conservative India that was
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: just beginning to discover itself. Our family broke all the rules,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: so in a way, I won the lottery of life.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: So while I was being asked to dream and sore,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: on the one hand, my mother, who was a product
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: of that culture, very brilliant woman who would have been
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: CEO had she been allowed to study, had to live
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: within the norms of society. So she had that pressure
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: from society to find a husband for us and get
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: us married off. So it felt like there was one
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: foot on the brake and one foot on the accelerator
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: at all times. But I think deep down inside she
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: wanted to be a CEO to whatever that meant. She
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: wanted to do something meaningful, and she lived her life
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: vicariously through my sister and myself. So this combination of
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: the break and accelerator allowed us to thrive, allowed us
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: to do whatever we wanted to do, and the two
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: of us, my sister and I went off and got
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: high school diploma, a college degree, a master's degree, and
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: began to work. So it was a wonderful upbringing in
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: a tight family that was bound by all of the
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: history and the culture of you know, Hindu India at
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: the same time progressive parents who said, come on, give
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: it a try. My sister and I were perhaps a
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: handful of, you know, twenty people from India, twenty women
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: in India who were admitted to the business schools in India.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: My sister went to a very prestigious business school on
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: the West coast and I went to the other prestigious
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: school in the East coast. India only had about four
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: business schools at that time. You write a very competitive
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: exam and you get in. Once my sister got in,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: I had to do it the same because I was
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: competitive with her. So I managed to get into the
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: school in Calcutta. And once you graduate from those schools,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: you get grabbed by companies because there were so few
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: business graduates and in any class, only five women graduated.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: One hundred guys and five women. I was one of
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: the five women in my class, and I went to
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: work for Metro Birtsel, which is really a British textile
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: company Totals of Manchester. And I worked in that company
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: for a while, loft the job until there was a
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Sultanian mill strike that shut down the business. There was
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: nothing to sell because all the mills were on strike.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: But at that time a lot of my friends from
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: college and people I knew in the city of Madras
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: had left India to come to the United States. At
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: that time, the US was the week of hope and
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: dreams and aspirations and innovation and entrepreneurship, and there was
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: a mass brain drain of the best talent in the US.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: And they kept writing to me saying, you've got to
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: come here. This place is so like you. We love music,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: you love sports, you love creation. You know, we're all
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: having a ball. You should come. So I said, look,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: let me see first that my parents would allow me
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: to go. Second without get admitted to a college a
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: graduate program, and three if I'll get in the aid,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: because remember, we can afford to pay for a college
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: education in the US. So I was sort of in
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: the US Library, US Consintate Library, flipping through magazines and
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: I found an article about this new school that had
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: opened up at Yale called the Year School of Management,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: which linked the public and private sector. So I decided
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: to apply to that on a whim. I just said,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: let me just apply and see what happens. They waived
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: my application fee because I couldn't afford that either, because
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: remember I haven't told my parents about it. So I
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: applied and didn't think i'd get in, and then this
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: letter shows up, and the mail saying I got in.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: So I went to my parents and said, hey, I
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: got into the l School of Management, and they said, good,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: put that letter away and go back and do what
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: you're doing because we can't afford to send you. Okay,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: two weeks later, I get another letter. We're going to
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: give you a third of the money in scholarships, a
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: third of the money in sort of a work study program,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: and another third is a loon. And we'd like you
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: to come to Yale. So now I can do this myself.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: I don't need money. All that I need is an etiquette,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: which I had enough savings I could pay for it,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: and I can go with my parents, and I'm going
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: to let me go. So I go and broach the
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: subject to my father and my mother. My grandfather had
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: passed away. I said, I've gotten in with aid. I
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: don't need money from you. I have savings for an etiquette.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Can I go? And then started this huge cushion at
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: home should be or should be not? And I think
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: my father won out. He said if this had been
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: our son, we wouldn't let him go. So why should
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: we hold her back? She's not married? How can I
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: let her go? He says my mother. Then let's find
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: her a guy and get him married. And I say, no,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: not a chance in hell. I don't want to get
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: married now. So they allowed me to go to the US,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: which I was surprised by. Jordan, I'll be very honest
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: with you. It took a lot of courage on the
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: part of my mother in particular, to say go. Came
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: to Yale and the rest is history. It's the first
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: time i'd left India, so to me everything was alien
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: and in those days they didn't have a well developed
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: struck had to support international students. This was nineteen seventy eight,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: so there isn't a structure to support international students. And
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: this was also the days of no wheels on suitcases.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Can you believe there was actually a time when suitcases
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: didn't have wheels. So I show up at Yale with
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: these two giant suitcases filled with stuff completely relevant for
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: the US. I don't even know why I packed what
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: I did, and they processed me and they say, walk
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: those six blocks to your dorm. And I have these
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: two heavy suitcases, and I'm not going to spend a
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: penny on a cab because I have so little money
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: to live on. So I carry these two suitcases six
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: inches at a time. And after a few hours, I
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: reached the dorm and I settle in, and desperate loneliness
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: stepped in. Because nobody else had come into the dorm,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: I was all alone. I didn't know what to buy
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: in the grocery store because I had never shopped in
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: a grocery store, which was a self help grocery store,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: so it was all alien to me. I was a vegetarian.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: There was hard anything to eat for a vegetarian. Now
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: vegetarianism is very common now, but in those days everything
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: was meat. I never had cheese or pizza before, so
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: there were pizza places glorre, but I didn't know what
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: it was, and so I was completely lost those early days,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: completely lost, until some international students actually stepped in and
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: taught me how to shop at a grocery store, how
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: to open a bank account, because those days you have
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: to go to the bank, open a bank account, and
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: get a mailbox because there were no emails those days.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: They taught me all the basics of life in the
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: United States, and they taught me how to eat pizza,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: and I couldn't take it because you needed pizza is
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: a quiet taste and I didn't have that taste, so
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: I gagged. And they just told me, look, if you
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: don't eat pizza, you're dead as a vegetarian. Because pizza
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: is the most common thing in New Haven. So you start,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: you better start getting used to it. They taught me
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: how to dowse the pizza and red chili flags and
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: need it so the you know, the red chili flakes
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: and how hot it is overpowers the taste of cheese. Today,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: I can't live with that pizza. We've come a long way, baby,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: but you know I had to learn everything from scratch.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Minimum age I think was two thirty five those days.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Don't look at it as two thirty five. It was
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: worth a lot to thirty five, and so I was
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: happy to have a job which paid almost three dollars.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: I'd play bridge Saturday night all night. It was great.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Lived in a dump of a dorm at Yale, not
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: the greatest building at all, but you know, it was
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: all the poor international students who lived in that dorm.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: So we built a great community, and Yale School of
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Management was just an uplifting experience. I loved him. I
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: graduated from Yale School of Management in nineteen eighty and
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: I became c you in two thousand and six. What
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: does your work ethic come from? Is that come from
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: India or from your parents? All my parents and my grandparents,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: who were relentless, this said, if you promise to do something,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: do it perfectly, or don't do it at all. Nobody
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: knew what a CEO was those days because in my family,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: nobody was in business. They were bank officials, lawyers, doctors,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: that's about it. Engineers a few of them. So the
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: word working in business CEO never entered anybody's vernaculous. You know,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: my belief was always I can do the job I'm doing.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: That's all I did. I was very very focused on
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: doing the job I was given, very very well, better
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: than anybody else. You know. I honestly believe Jordan that
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: if you have a long term plan and you're working
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: towards it, if any move does not, you know, deliver
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: exactly on plan, you get disappointed. And my point of
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: view was focus on what you're doing very well, don't
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: have a long term plan and let events take their course.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: And if you asked me in two thousand and two,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: are you going to become CEO pepsicod of said, I
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: have no clue and I don't care. So the real
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: issue is, I would say this more generally, everybody, just
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: focus on what you're doing. Dream but focus on what
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: you're doing. Don't let the dreams sort of cloud what
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: you have to do today. I joined PepsiCo in ninety
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: four as head of strategy. Into nineteen nine, I was
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: made the CFO of the company, which surprised me because
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: I didn't look for that job. I was just told
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: one day, you're the CFO, go ahead, take on the job. Okay.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: In two thousand I was made president and CFO, so
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: they added a whole bunch of stuff to me, made
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: me a member of the board of directors, and again
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: I earned my way there. I didn't inherit that job nothing.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, I just had to prove that I was
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: capable of doing all this. And in two thousand and
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: six I was truly surprised when I was told I
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: was going to be CEO for two reasons. One, I
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: didn't think my boss was going to retire when he did.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: And second, you know, they had a lot of people
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: to pick from. PepsiCo's a talent academy. They had a
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: lot of people to pick from.
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: Me.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: They to any job I did, I put the company
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: before me. I worked really hard to do my job well,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: but I took whatever assignment I was given and really
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: understood how it connected with the rest of the company.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: So my bosses always felt that they could trust me
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: to get the job done way better than anybody else.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: So that helped. In your job, you have to ask yourself,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: what is my proposition that I'm offering this company. They've
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: got to be able to say, God, we cannot be
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: good in this area if Jordan is not involved in it,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: or we're having this meeting. I know Jordan is not
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: responsible for this area, but bring him into the meeting
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: because he has a unique point of view, and people
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: have to know what that unique proposition is that you
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: bring to the company. In my case, it was an
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: ability to think tangentially, bring points a few connect dots
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: that didn't feel obviously connected, but I would find way
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: to connect them and make new and interesting shapes for
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: the company. But the best example was this German guy
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: I used to work for at Motorola. Gerhatchelmeier went on
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: to ABB and when he first went on to ABB,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: I didn't join him. And he kept calling me and saying,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: I need somebody like you to work for me. Said,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: he said, could you find somebody? I said, use a
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: headhunter and get somebody. So he called a headhunter and
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: said I need an Indra Nui. So the headhunter called
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: me and said, what is an indra Nui? I said,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean that's me, but I don't
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: know what it is. So we tried to write a
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: job description for what I was doing for Gearhund, and
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: I realized that the bottom line was I was making
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: his life easier. I would take things off his plate.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: I would make it easy for him to go into
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: a meeting fully prepared, even though he'd never looked at
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: the material, because I would give him briefing papers that
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: made his life easier, so he could work on other
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: parts of the company that I was not involved in.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: And so again I put him in the company before me.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: I focused on how to make my CEO successful, okay,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: And so I think to him that was a proposition.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: Here is a person who works to make life better
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: for the people around her so that the company can
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: do better. Okay, And so you have to have a
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: proposition that's crystal clear, and everybody invites you in because
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: of that proposition. And sometimes you may have to go
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: outside the boundaries of your job to help others to
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: improve things for the company. Find a way to do it.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Find a way to do it. Don't say I don't
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: want to get involved because it takes too much of
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: my time or the other person may be pissed off.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: Give people a helping hand if you believe they will
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: look better if you can give them some input to
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: do something better. And that's all I did through my
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: entire life. That's how I made a name for myself.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Was it a time commitment, yes, was it time away
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: from their family, yes, But I didn't know any other
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: way to do the job. And that's what I think
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: got me noticed. And people said she's a keeper. And
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: very often I'd get invited into meetings and I didn't
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: belong in, or I'd be walking across the corridor there'd
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: be a meeting going on, people saying, do I joined
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: this meeting? Just put your head and I'm saying before
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: I was CEO and say, just come on and come
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: and listen to this conversation. I'm like, it's nothing to
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: do with me. Just come in and listen. And you know,
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't say anything at the meeting, but later on
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: I would tell them did you think about this or
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: this or this? We didn't think about this. So that's
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: what I mean by saying, if you're going to add value,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: people want you to be on the team. I actually
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: think learning begins after you graduate from college, because all
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: that you've done is build a foundation. Nobody sees the foundation.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: They only see the house above the foundation, right, so
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: we don't build the bricks to build the rest of
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: the house and complete it, and that takes a lot
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: of work. Look at failures. What did I do wrong?
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: What could have done better? What did they do wrong?
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: What could have been done better? Don't bask in sort
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: of glee because somebody failed. Tell yourself God, for the
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: company is not good that this person failed. How do
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: we make sure it doesn't happen for the company again.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Dear Mom, I really love you. I really would appreciate
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: if you came home early. Please please, please, please please please.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: If you say yes, I love you again.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: You kept these things these all these years.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Why I don't know. I cannot give myself to not
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: look at them regularly.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: You still look at them.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: I look at them. When you have two children, your
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: responsibilities grow exponentially, and with two girls at home, you know,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: when you're married, you've got a husband also to worry about.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: And usually your husband's get relegated to the bottom of
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: the disc because you're so busy doing other things. And
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: the jobs you're doing, it's not just one job, it's multiple,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: the equivalent of multiple jobs. Every time you move up
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: a pyramid. Without that family help, I couldn't have done it.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: I picked the right spouse. He helped, and the family helped,
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: and without that infrastructure, I couldn't have done what I did.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: So again I won the lottery of life there that
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: I had a family that was willing to step in
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: and they were proud of what I did. They never
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: once said, quit your job and stay home. It's your responsibility.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: They said, what can we do to help you? My
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: goal is, at every point in time, what can I
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: give back? How do you want to be remembered? Nobody
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: remembers you for the money you made. They remember you
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: for what a difference you made to society or communities
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: or whatever. So that's all I care about right now.
• 21:50
