Peter Roussel:

Well, it was a blessing moment for me.

And he was just — when I first saw him here in Texas, I thought, there is somebody I would love to work for, if ever given the chance. And thanks to him, he gave me the chance.

And I will tell you just one thing about leadership that I learned early on from him. And it kind of was an indicator of how he was going to be as a leader.

One of the first assignments I had was to write a press release, in which I made an error. And it wasn't an insignificant error. And the next day, I thought he was going to fire me.

So, I went into his office. I saw the press release on his desk. All he did was this. He pushed it across the desk and looked at me and he said, "Hey, pal, I know, on the next one, you're going to knock a home run."

At that point, I would have walked through a bed of burning hot coals barefooted for that guy. Now, to me, that was — I didn't — probably didn't fully appreciate it at the time. But that was leadership. That was motivation. That was inspiration. And I think that was just a microcosm of what was to come in his career.

Chris Buckley, I see you nodding your head. As someone else who has written words for the man, I'm curious, what was that experience like, especially for someone who was so incredibly modest and didn't want to talk about his accomplishments?
