00:00 - 00:17 "So I really think, you know, when you said, you know, what do I do best? I get people to think and hopefully I get people to take themselves a little bit less seriously because I'm thoroughly convinced when you look at businesses and professional sports teams, the ones that are more light hearted having fun are getting better results.” — Larry Mietus
