GERRY

Listen, I could all day, every day, have a hospital gown on that's not tied in the back and my butt showing, right? That's a massive vulnerability. But if I live on an island with one resident and none other, is it really a problem? No. Is anyone going to see my butt? I can't even see it, right? The way my head doesn't turn around, right? So there's no risk there.

STEVE

So hang on a second. You're telling me that the mission of GRC is not to pass external audits and to close tickets? Make People go away?

RICHARD

Be prepared for a Be Brief and Be Gone. If you have more time, you might share...

STEVE

Be Brilliant! Be Brief, Be Brilliant, Be Gone.

RICHARD

I don't even know. Do not try to impress them because they are unimpressable.

GERRY

Patch management really is the big one. It's... I mean, for me, it is, right? Around... I mean, I guess... Let me rephrase that. Your hmm kind of threw me,

STEVE

I'm inspired. I'm fired up. I want to learn more about risk to help be that compass.

GERRY

You can't just hit the patch all button and go get tacos. Like that's not how it works. It's a very dynamic environment. There's a reason that our jobs are complicated and frankly pay well. It's because it's messy, right?

RICHARD

It's a much more fun way to live helping people and measuring the right stuff. It's more effective. It's a much more fruitful career. Trust me.

STEVE

Dude, you're good. That was very insightful. And I don't know, just when I was blown away, you brought in the third dimension.

GERRY

This to me is like mad value because yes the executing of the play itself right the running of the play that's cool and that's where all the action is and that's where you do the highlights and instant replays but who called the play why do you have those players on the team on the field at that moment that was the brain that was the strategy that went into the decision that allowed that transaction to execute it allowed that process or business operation to exist in the first place. And this is the real value of GRC among all the other things that we've talked about. And honestly, it's why the job's so fun because it literally never gets boring.

STEVE

Risk takes the escalator up and the elevator down and gets real intense, real fast. And that's why better study upon risk. So thanks, Terry. And we'll see you in the next one.
