00:00Here's what I'd say about Phil. You have to be prepared when you speak with him.
00:03He's going to challenge you. He's going to ask you questions.
00:06And he does it not from a challenging perspective.
00:09He just wants to know that you've thought through the decisions that you've made.
00:13And what I would tell you is there's not a decision that I've made,
00:17and I've had to go to him already in this role a few times.
00:20If I can provide him the logic, the rationale,
00:23and most importantly what it means for Nike, he's always agreed with me.
00:28And he said to me recently on one of them,
00:30he wasn't lined up with the decision that I was making.
00:33I was able to explain why, and he looked at me and goes,
00:36I can get used to that answer.
