Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy
01:05:36 · Dara Khosrowshahi, Patrick O'Shaughnessy
[01:05:36] S2: Amazing. [01:05:37] S0: As just like a breakdown walls entrepreneur. And then the way that you've matured it into this behemoth of a business and all these exciting new things. It's so cool to hear about. First, Dan, I love doing this with you. When I have these conversations, I ask everyone the same traditional closing question. What is the kindest thing that someone's done for you? [01:05:53] S2: I guess it's Sid, my wife, taking me in. We talked about my origin, where I came from, and having a chip on the shoulder. And then until I met her, I was always living the life that I thought I was supposed to. And I was always the person who I thought you wanted me to be. When I met her and observed her, she was always the same person with me, with the kids, with her friends, or the Sun Valley Conference where there are like these unbelievably accomplished billionaires around. She was always the same core person. She never changed who she was. And meeting her and seeing her operate, I think finally allowed me to be the person I want to be versus the person I thought I was supposed to be. And that was a gift and a kindness that I could never replace. [01:06:40] S0: I have a shockingly similar experience with my wife. It's a beautiful place to end. Thanks so much for your time. [01:06:45] S2: You bet.
