The Power of Systems: Turning Success Into Something Repeatable

Well, and you and I were talking about this before.

So as we get into this, one of the things we were just talking about is, listen, at the end of the day, new skin is a performance sport.

It's not different or very different.

Of course, the behaviors are different.

Right.

But it's not very different from if you want to get fit, if you want to run a marathon, if you want to do anything successful in life over a sustainable period of time, you've got to have a commitment.

You've got to have the effort, the diligence over time.

You got to have the data to get better.

You got to perform.

You got to measure.

You got to do all these things.

But at the end of the day...

It's a system.

It's a

system.

Yeah.

That you consistently do day in and day out.

That's right.

And so you think about when we go back in time and a lot of what we're going to talk about here is just based upon 30 years of data.

Yep.

30 years of performance data.

There are some things we just want to maybe set up top because one of the questions that came out during the Opportunity Summit is exactly what is a system? And it was from a newer leader who hasn't been around as long as some of the others.

But as that question became, the entire group in the West really started to lean into this discussion of truly what is a system.

So let's talk about what I call the first principles of systems, right? So Elon Musk talks a lot about first principles in physics, right? So the first principles in physics are around gravity, right? E equals mc squared in energy.

There are some of these first principles that you can't break.
