Could you comment on that and give us an example of someone that leads with intention?

For me, intentional leadership means living in alignment with your values, especially and especially when it's difficult, okay? We spend a lot of our life living reactively, okay, versus intentionally.
8:31
All right? So when you live intentionally, you have to learn self-awareness, okay? You have to have discipline.

That, that's the whole point of this.
27:38
It's not about what locomotive and, oh, what manufacturer are we gonna, oh, make look bad.

The fact is across the board anybody who makes an electronic piece of equipment, you shouldn't have to spend extra money for an extra piece so you don't burn your house down.
