Oh, wow.

Almost like punishment though.

If you're out of control and if you don't get it together, I'm going to have to turn you over to the state.

And I'm like, wow, you keep choosing him.

You keep choosing this man that's hurting us.

That's how it felt to me.

Sure.

How would you guide and counsel individuals who have been through traumatic experiences?

There's, again, there's a lot of different treatment modalities.

There's a lot of different approaches to counseling, therapy, trauma.

Everyone's different, but one of the universal things that I, I always bring into this is your journey's your journey, and we're gonna approach it as such.

We're not competing with anybody else.

There's not a timeframe in mind that we're trying to align with where it's like, "Oh, hey, you know, two months and we'll get you through this." That's just not accurate to do with people.

So a lot of what I'm doing is giving them permission to experience, in a safe environment, what they've already been through.

How about for those struggling with alcohol addiction, drug addiction? What advice would you give?

Question two, Richard, is what are firms getting wrong about AI?

Well, not to, not to assume that I know all the answers and that I have everything figured out [laughs] on what's AI, there's still a lot to unpack, and there's still a lot of pieces to think about.

I think the first piece is to-- and it goes back to that first question, viewing AI as simply a productivity tool, making us faster.

It will certainly have that impact, but I think there's much deeper impacts that could have in how we use that capacity and how we continue to engage with it.

I think the piece to think about is that this first slice that AI is absorbing is not the end.

And so if you continue to base your firm on this idea of doing more compliance work, you will inevitably be chasing this reality of what AI is replacing next.

However you reshape your model to think about consultation, you'll be looking for AI to generate more capacity so that you can do more consultation and advisory.

Question three asks, which leadership decisions on AI are going to matter most over the next few years?
