Josh Wilson 00:00:00 How does one determine what their North star is?
Ronald Diamond 00:00:03 So when I say my North Star, I again, it's not a panacea, but I do think that I kind of look at myself as the intersection of prosperity and purpose. So I'm a capitalist first, and I'm trying to maximize as much money as I make. But you could do that. And also. Do things that are good and take these entrepreneurs. So when I say to my North Star, it's basically taking these entrepreneurs, these guys like Michael Milken or Bill Gates or Erik Lucas, or I mean, Sergey Brin has a predisposition for for pancreatic cancer. So he's donated $1 billion. Is he going to solve it? I have no idea. But I put my money on him over the American Cancer Society just because he's the way he's wired. So that's what I talk about with my North Star.
