Here’s Rivers’ full confession from tonight’s LUX TOUR Confessional with ROSALÍA: “When I was in high school, there was a boy I really liked. We talked, but we were ‘just friends,’ and as time went by, we got to know each other more. He would ask me out, and it started becoming something more. Then, one day, he told me he liked me and felt the same way. I was so excited, so hopeful. His birthday was coming up, and there was going to be Pal Norte, a festival here. I spent months saving money to take him to the festival. I even did raffles and everything, because I was 13 or 14 years old. When his birthday finally came, I had prepared a surprise for him, organized everything, and planned a special moment. When I gave him the gift, he saw what it was and got kind of weird. Then he told me, ‘Oh, it’s just that I have a family commitment,’ or whatever. Something like that. But he had been saying for months that he wanted to go, so it didn’t make any sense. I said, ‘Okay, fine, nothing happened.’ Since I had the extra tickets, I told a friend, ‘This is your opportunity, come with me.’ She was going to the festival too, so we went together. We were about to leave when, guess who I ran into at the festival? Him. With someone else, all cuddled up, and I think they were holding hands. And the worst part? Do you know who it was? A classmate. After that, I didn’t want anything to do with ‘Nati’ and I hated everyone for a long time. I spent several years not trusting anyone and not wanting to meet people in that way. But it was an experience, and eventually I realized it didn’t have to be that way.”

Michael Bloomberg, founder of Bloomberg LP, on why showing up early and staying late beats being the smartest person in the room: "I'm not smarter than anybody else, but I can outwork you." Bloomberg shares his key to success: "Make sure you're the first one in there every day and the last one to leave. Don't ever take a lunch break or go to the bathroom. You keep working. You never know when that opportunity is going to come along." He explains how this approach shaped his early career at Salomon Brothers. The managing partner of the company, Bill Salomon, was the second person to arrive each morning. Mike Bloomberg was the only other one in the big trading room. "If he had needed to borrow a match… if he wanted to ask something about a newspaper or a stock, he came over and so we became buddies." The same thing happened at the end of the day. The number two guy, John Gutfreund, was the last one to leave except for Bloomberg. They'd share a cab or take the subway uptown together. "You can't control that you're the smartest guy. There'll always be somebody smarter. But if you're there, then you absorb things. You put things together in ways that if you didn't have all that experience…" He compares it to skiing: "Reading a book on skiing doesn't teach you how to ski. You got to go and you got to ski and get lots of miles under your skis. And incidentally, if you don't fall, you're not skiing hard enough and you're not learning anything." Bloomberg also touches on resilience when things don't go your way: "You got to be smart enough to say, 'Hey, I tried it. Don't let your ego get in the way. I can't keep doing this. I've got to earn a living, but a year from now, I'm going to come up with a better idea and then I'll go back and do it again.'" He closes with a mindset that defined his career: "There's never been a day that I haven't looked forward to going into work. Even the days I knew I was going to get beaten up. Even the day I knew I was going to get fired. I'd never been fired before. I wonder what it's like. Okay, let's go find out."

Brian Shaw explains why Phil Jackson had to coach Kobe differently during the first three Lakers Championships: "Phil had no problem cussing Shaq out or getting on Shaq, but he would never say anything to Kobe early on." "So I have German Shepherds and they are protection trained.. And my dog trainer always said to me the first six to eight months that you had his puppy don't ever tell it no because what we want to do is we want this dog to be so confident that he feels like he could do everything." "The discipline part can come later on, once his confidence is at a certain point." "So he gonna chew up your house dig up your yard or whatever. You just got to deal with it let your dog do what it feels like, he's the dude, he's the man." "When we had the team meeting and I remember asking Phil how come you don't never say nothing to Kobe, I mean you always say everything to Shaq, you don't say nothing to Kobe... and he said because for this team we always need Kobe to be in attack mode." "And then that immediately made me think about what my dog trainer said about my German Shepherd needs to be in attack mode, and it was exactly what our team needed." "Shaq came from a disciplinary his father was his stepfather was military. Yes sir, no sir, and whatever you asked him to do, told him to do. He was obedient." "Kobe was that German Shepherd puppy that nobody ever said no to... He had sisters, he was the only boy, father played in the NBA, and he was the The Golden Child..." "Phil nurtured that confidence in him, at the expense of the rest of us on the team, getting the brunt of him yelling and screaming and what have you. But not saying a whole lot to Kobe.." "But we needed that, he was always in attack mode." "You talk about Phil just knowing personalities and how to kind of Coach everybody differently... Phil Jackson was the only man for that job."

Is it possible to have an entire company of A players? Adam has 400 employees and a $150 billion market cap. His answer to this question was insightful: “We expect our engineers to be product people so we don't have much of a product org. We expect them to be A players. Now to have a team of A players you've got to be able to recognize A players. I know that Giovanni is an A-plus player. I know that he has no tolerance for anything that's not an A player. He's very quick to go "You've got to be at this level or you're out." Putting people like that in leadership roles allows me to have confidence because they're impatient and they're not going to enable talent that's not qualified in these key roles. You're always turning over people that don't meet your need. You want to be as lean as possible. Now when you have an A player you don't want to cut those people. Those people are super powerful—especially as we go forward. You're going to need lean teams that know how to use AI. Your best people know how to use AI better than your mediocre people and it's not by some sort of linear function. It's much greater than that. Our team is constructed to have leaders who are A players or A-plus players who can see the A players underneath and who have no patience for anything that's not a A player and are very willing to fire on sight if they feel like you're not cutting it. Because we are lean most of our people are very smart. But sometimes being smart is not enough. You've got to be really into building what we want to build. If you're not cut out for it you're going to get really good severance and you go off along your way.”

Arteta on Gyokeres: “Well, I think the level of attention on him hasn't changed since he signed to today. It's normal. Everybody was so excited to bring a nine into the club. We did it, we brought a player with an incredible goalscoring record that had to adapt to the league. “He had no preseason, the first few weeks were difficult because physically he wasn't in his best state and he's a player that needs that, like any other player in this league, almost to perform at that level. “Then he kicked on, I think he had a really good period and got injured. And now it's better. I saw a lot of positive things in the last two games that he's done, we need to continue to tweak and understand him a little bit better in certain situations and he needs to do the same, but that's about time. We have full support for him. “At the end, you have to experience it (scrutiny). You can imagine the global impact that you're going to have to deal with when you come to a big club and the expectations are as it is, but after you have to live it and living it is always slightly different to your imagination. “However, he's doing it with a With a lot of desire. I think his energy level, his commitment, it's absolutely top. We are here to help him because we've all been here, we all need time, there is always moments, and the strikers have moments. “They score more goals, less goals, and we need to be there for him. “I think so, yes (we’re going to see another level from Gyokeres in the second half of the season.”
