>> I wear jeans to work and converse, which my fiance hates the fact
that I don't dress up quite as much anymore.
But what I like the most about working at thrill mill in general is you have an opportunity
to work with people that are driven.
I think it's one of the base alloys of people who are entrepreneurs or innovatibly minded.
They're looking at things differently, they're trying to attack issues, challenges, market gaps
or what have you in different , different angles different approaches
and they're open to new ideas and concepts.
So that in and of itself is a really exiting place to be in and you're able
to be a little bit unorthodox or what I would say maybe thoughtfully irreverent.
And that's very helpful because I think what we're doing and what we're dealing
with right now in terms of an Americans [inaudible] is that we're dealing with a very,
very constantly and increasingly interconnected economic ecosystem.
So jobs aren't the same, skill sets aren't the same, people are required
to be different types of workers.
Different types of idea generators in and of themselves whether you work in a cubicle
or you work on a construction sight.
Allot of things are just changing rapidly
which makes it exciting, but also scary at the same time.
The hardest part of the job is getting people out of their institutional mindset.
We live in a great city and a great region with an incredible amount of assets,
but we still have institutionalized thinking that is probably more oriented
to 20th century issues and challenges.
And we still have folks in leadership positions, we have quite a few great leaders
that have allot of vision and certainly that's a inter-generational thing.
It's not just young people aren't coming up with the next best ideas.
You know there's folks that are very much towards the end of their careers
that are still thinking of incredibly new ways and innovative ways,
but we still need to approach the emergence of a 21st century post industrial American city
in a way that shakes up the system.
