    Summary

    "I imagine everyone is on a ladder, reaching for that next rung in life, trying to get ahead professionally, financially, or personally. The higher you climb, the more careful you have to be. Not everyone, but a few people I've been unfortunate to meet, will not think twice to kick you off the ladder or knock you down a few rungs so they can climb higher. It's like there is an unspoken goal to get to the top, but what do you find when you get there?"

    "Money and power, I would assume."

    "Absolutely. So you must protect yourself and those who mean the most to you."
