Here is his letter:


Dear Chris Lucas,

Thank you for you generous message.

Advice? Still learning myself.

l guess that means the reach for attainment never stops.

And that career moves are not nearly as important as personal growth. Becoming the best possible version of yourself will spill over into your professional life, l promise you.

Best,

Larry Gelbart


I sent him a thank you email the next day.
