When you get to know, Tim he’ll tell you, “I’m a fan of the musical Hamilton. There’s this line at the end that goes, ‘And when my time is up, have I done enough? Will they tell my story?’ I’m interested in asking, ‘what must we do today so people living seven generations from now will tell our story in a good way?’ We each have a very short time on this earth. Let’s make what matters.”
