1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,920
- Collaboration is extremely important.

2
00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:05,230
I'm not my best unless
I'm around the best,

3
00:00:05,230 --> 00:00:07,110
unless I am studying the best,

4
00:00:07,110 --> 00:00:10,706
unless I'm allowing myself
to be inspired by the best.

5
00:00:10,706 --> 00:00:13,289
(upbeat music)

6
00:00:16,290 --> 00:00:20,320
I'm thankful to have
a team like Wondaland.

7
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:24,390
Having men who support
women, who are feminists,

8
00:00:24,390 --> 00:00:27,060
who actually do believe
that women are the smartest

9
00:00:27,060 --> 00:00:29,840
in the room, and would
rather me go into a meeting

10
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:31,410
before they go into a meeting

11
00:00:31,410 --> 00:00:33,850
to get the job done, I
think that is a blessing.

12
00:00:33,850 --> 00:00:34,683
It's rare.

13
00:00:34,683 --> 00:00:37,420
It just helps us to remain balanced.

14
00:00:37,420 --> 00:00:40,580
It helped me to remain
balanced and helped all of us

15
00:00:40,580 --> 00:00:44,990
to realize that we have to
coexist to get shit done.

16
00:00:44,990 --> 00:00:46,940
Like, the world is not black and white.

17
00:00:48,540 --> 00:00:53,060
We need each other to
make sure that Wondaland

18
00:00:53,060 --> 00:00:55,130
goes out into the world
and does what it does.

19
00:00:55,130 --> 00:00:59,150
I love watching the artists
at Wondaland Records,

20
00:00:59,150 --> 00:01:02,010
watching the producers,
watching the screenwriters,

21
00:01:02,010 --> 00:01:05,370
watching the actors,
watching all the artists

22
00:01:05,370 --> 00:01:08,320
who come through Wondaland
because they make me better.

23
00:01:08,320 --> 00:01:13,150
They make be want to
get better in my craft,

24
00:01:13,150 --> 00:01:14,680
to write better, to record better,

25
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,400
to play instruments better,
to handle my business better.

26
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:23,400
I have evolved as a result of
having different minds around,

27
00:01:23,470 --> 00:01:25,970
different perspectives and points of view.

28
00:01:25,970 --> 00:01:29,680
Ultimately, I make a lot
of the major decisions,

29
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,360
but I would never make a
decision without getting counsel

30
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,630
or asking what do you think about this?

31
00:01:36,630 --> 00:01:39,010
What do you think the
pros and cons of this is?

32
00:01:39,010 --> 00:01:42,040
And I will say, that the decisions
that I've made up to date

33
00:01:44,580 --> 00:01:46,883
have made it real inclusive, you know?

34
00:01:47,860 --> 00:01:52,680
Everybody knows who's boss,
but I think being a boss

35
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,740
is about being a great
listener and understanding

36
00:01:56,740 --> 00:01:59,060
that you don't have all the answers,

37
00:01:59,060 --> 00:02:01,340
and there are smarter people

38
00:02:01,340 --> 00:02:04,950
who could be in this room
right now, and let them shine.

39
00:02:04,950 --> 00:02:06,290
They're here for a reason.

40
00:02:06,290 --> 00:02:07,432
We're all here for a reason.

41
00:02:07,432 --> 00:02:10,015
