In today’s Cloud Wars Minute, I reflect on the blessings of the season, the impact of the cloud industry, and the importance of cherishing every moment with family.
Highlights
00:03 — I would like to wish everyone a very happy, warm, wonderful Thanksgiving with your family and friends. We have so much to be grateful for, so many blessings in this country and in this industry, certainly.
00:39 —About five months ago, one of my older brothers, Joe, died after a long battle with a brain tumor. That has reminded me is that every day is a gift, something to be thankful for. I have two granddaughters who are beyond amazing, and I hope that all of you get to reunite this weekend with some special family members.

01:12 — I also just wanted to toss in that this industry is a pretty cool place to work as well, and I think there’s a chance coming up in 2025 that the market cap for the Cloud Wars Top 10 could exceed $10 trillion. How about that?
01:44 — But I just want to say thanks to everyone. It’s a great privilege. It’s a great honor to be with you and to share some ideas with you. I am touched by it. I take it very seriously, and I’m forever grateful, forever thankful for having the chance to spend a little time with you.
