[00:14:33] S8: Learn how to share credit. Credit is never diluted by sharing, and good leaders always share in the happy news when good things come out of their teams. But they always stand in front when things are not going well and say, you know, this is my responsibility. These things didn't go well because I could have done better. That kind of giving, both nurturing your team or protecting your team, is very important. This is not to say that you cannot have a very high bar for who should work in your team. I am routinely a very demanding boss. I expect a lot out of my team. I expect a lot out of myself, but everybody who works with me understands that it is always in the spirit of making us Snowflake the company, us as a team better. That helps you be an effective leader and one that is also very genuine. Finally, my life principle is also that I'm an open and transparent transparent leader. Leader. I communicate very directly. I give feedback very directly. I take feedback very directly. If people tell me that I can do something better, I never grudge that feedback. I think of that as something... As a gift that they are giving me that can help me be better at it. And that kind of an open environment can be very conducive to things getting done very quickly and us being able to get better very quickly as well. Eric Schmidt, our CEO at the time, made me and a few other folks write a $100,000,000,000 revenue plan. This was like two thousand and seven-two eight. We all thought that this was the funniest thing ever because the idea that one company could make a $100,000,000,000 just sounded so preposterous. To be honest with you, the $100,000,000,000 plan was a little bit of a planning exercise, and we worked on it even though we didn't really believe in it. But the real challenge came just a few years later when desktop growth completely flatlined. People stopped buying new PCs, and so that meant that our query growth at Google stopped. This is when mobile started taking off. But the terrifying thing for Google, the business, was that mobile just did not make any money. So the only place we had growth was in mobile search, and yet mobile search monetized at a fraction of desktop search.

So we worked five years to bring mobile monetization on par with desktop search, and that was the key to Google thriving through 2014, 2015, and honestly, through to today. When you look at it from the outside, it can look like a smooth journey, but it was an ocean full of big turbulence. Something like a $100,000,000,000 plan was so audacious that you could not immediately translate it. On the other hand, we kept working at it. We had a good system. We tried to improve query monetization, for example, by 5% every quarter. That was part of what drove the overall increase in Google revenue. On the other hand, big achievements can also raise questions in your head. In many ways, us hitting things like a $100,000,000,000, being the SVP of ads and commerce at Google eventually led me to say that I should do something differently. It gave me both the pressure, but also the freedom to go do something else. I went and started a company, and we came up with this audacious thesis that a search engine that was free could in fact be a better search engine. Looking back, I would say that the biggest mistake that we made in conceiving Neeva was not setting the bar for that product to be 10x that of how Google search was. Google has incredible distribution. It pays money to every browser. It pays money to every distribution point. And we had to have realized that if we wanted people to adopt Neeva, we needed

For people with chronic migraine, 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting four hours or more, Botox, onabotulinum toxin a, prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine. It is not approved for those 14 or fewer headache days a month. Botox prevents, on average, eight to nine headache days a month versus six to seven for placebo. Prescription Botox is injected Ad[00:20:21] S7: by your doctor. Effects of Botox may spread hours to weeks after injection causing serious symptoms. Alert your doctor right away as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems, or muscle weakness can be signs of a life threatening condition. Patients with these conditions before injection are at highest risk. Side effects may include allergic reactions, neck and injection site pain, fatigue, and headache. Allergic reactions can include rash, welts, asthma symptoms, and dizziness. Don't receive Botox if there's a skin infection. Tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions, including ALS Lou Gehrig's disease, myasthenia gravis, or Lambert Eaton syndrome, and medications, including botulinum toxins, as these may increase the risk of serious side effects.
