In this short monologue, the speaker expresses enthusiasm for celebrating the closure of a particularly complex deal that required the coordinated effort of roughly 40 employees spanning ten different functions. He describes the personal satisfaction of publicly recognizing the team’s achievement—through Slack messages, Zoom calls, and verbal acknowledgment—and emphasizes that such successes are never the result of a single individual but of broad, cross‑functional collaboration. He also notes his appreciation for setting strategic direction for future periods, linking the celebration of past wins to forward‑looking planning.

You know, I like even, I'll have an awesome day when it's like a rep is closed, like a really complex, hard deal and there were 40 people at the company that actually got it over the line and you get to go like talk about that or you put it in Slack and you call people and you get on Zoom and I don't know, that just feels, that feels great. Like you did something really complex across many, many functions. It's never just one person that's getting things done for customers. And I don't know, I really like that when you see 40 people that literally make it happen across 10 functions and you get to go celebrate that. That's a great day. I also like when you're setting strategy for the period of time that you may be aiming for in the future.
