No, babe, it's not what you would pick because you're ambitious as anything. So maybe you won't fit. You know, it's very interesting, right? Because I wonder if you put on that list of options, earning 10% more year on year, getting a meaningful bonus, right? Because here's the thing, these things correlate and that's what people don't understand.

In order to run an organisation where there is the ability for your people to have a good work-life balance, You have to be profitable. The company has to be, you know, in line with, if not beating its competition. We have to be able to run an efficient business to give people what they need. The two things go hand in hand.

And so I have this idea that with the people that I work with, like we're in a social, like we're in a contract together, right? It's like, you're going to work really hard. And in return, you should get an amazing place to work. You should get an incredible environment that is feeding you in ways that are not just about your job, right?

And so when I look around at our office and our organisation, we're doing, you know, I just, I left the office yesterday, there was like a fertility seminar going on where there were like hundreds of people in the kitchen of our office all learning about having their eggs frozen and like various different, I have four kids, I clearly didn't need to be in the seminar. I'm like, I'm done.

But, you know, that was happening. It's like we do things for our employees that are above and beyond what a professional workplace back in the day may have considered the norm. So I just feel like you've got to, with that, like something has to give. And there are certain things that are the employee's responsibility within that.

And you figuring out what works for your life, how you're going to pick up your kids, how you get home, how you get to work, what happens in, like, these are all things that you need to figure out within the construct of your life. That isn't the employer's job. That isn't the employer's responsibility. Right.

I don't think the expectation is that anyone is going to have to work seven days a week in order to have an average job. They're not going to have to do that. If you have ambition, if you want to... do the most, if you want to grow, if you want to be one of those people that's at the top of the organization, the chances are you might have to work a little bit more. That's the truth.

What are we talking about here? We're going to lie to everyone? Do you work five days a week, Steven? No, babe. You're working on a Saturday and a Sunday. And if I text you wherever you are in the world, you come back to me within about an hour. I'm assuming that that's not just what you do for me, that that's just how you roll. And that's how I roll. And that's how most successful people roll.
