But the absolute best thing for the CEO out of instituting the increased wage has been hearing about how they went from close to zero first-time parents every year at Gravity to about 20 babies born to families there each year.

“I can’t think of anything better that I could get in return out of it than that, and that’s the impact. That’s the legacy.

Because, those babies, they carry with them almost infinite potential, solving some of the existential crises of humanity, curing cancer, solving things like global warming. You name it.

Who knows what those babies are going to do, and probably I won’t be around to find out all the cascading effects that will come from that.”
