"This guy doesn't care about money y'all...

He needs money to do big things and execute. He gets high on making big stuff happen."

So what you're saying is he cares about power.



Execution.

Chief Executive Officer.

They execute. Objectives. Changing stuff. It's addictive. Ask me how I know.

You never go back. I changed the world for the better)


Changing stuff requires power. So as far as I can tell we agree. Executing objectives just sounds nicer.


Mmm... I guess for me pursuit of power as a choice of language carries a certain negative connotation.

In semantic terms I agree.

The negative connotation is the baggage I bring. I recind my implied critism. Pursuit of power is not necessarily a bad thing. Perhaps I need to think on this.
