Transcribed with NVIDIA Parakeet · Timestamps stay in sync with the live audio
He was caught up in a terrifying capitalistic contest and he relished it. This is the most crazy, ferocious corporate battle that we've ever seen, he said. I can't imagine it being any more intense, but I'm doing it my way. I'm a weird British outlier on this little island here. And I've made my own path.
I followed my passions and tried to stay true to what I believe in. And I'm going to carry on doing that. This is my mission. So I will do it a hundred percent. It is literally just the first level of what's coming.
This is a paradoxical moment, which I guess is sort of messing with my mind. It should feel amazing realizing all these dreams that we've had for more than fifteen years. But it doesn't feel like how I imagined it would feel. The way it's going is this mad rush. I've had to make my peace with that.
