So when I'm sitting there, having done my homework, I'm like, well, why can't we go to the club? Shelly from down the road's going.And it really, really, really bothered me.
You might have heard of him. Shelly dropped $200 million, as I said.And after the election, everyone said, well, poor Shelly .
He didn't lose everything. Shelly Adelson had a very interesting interview after the 2012 election.He went to Washington so all the Republicans could kiss his ring.
And what a treat it is for me and for all of us today to be in conversation with Shellye Archambeau. Shellye is the former CEO of MetricStream, a Silicon Valley-based governance, risk, and compliance software company. During her tenure there, she grew it from a fledgling startup into a global market leader.

And I was like, well, gosh, Roland, I thought you liked me. He said, Shellye, you've got me. Go get somebody else.
Two, the importance of language. So in the book, Shellye shares a story where, a few weeks after giving birth to her daughter, she went to a conference.
