No, I would say that it's the same as yours. I don't have any motivation to change the world or control large swaths of it, but if I did then I would rather have the ear of a person or a small group of people than any forward facing position.
Right now it's as you said: I have countless options. I have the freedom to create and pursue my own goals as I please.
Effective leadership comes with too many constraints. It's a ball and chain.
Your perspective isn't untrue. Given the difference in our positions and what we're trying to achieve, it makes sense our views would deviate in this way.
Though even I have to agree, at times, it would be better to have the ear of a singular person you could speak with freely, over thousands of those you can't - no matter what accolades come with the latter.
I'd like to discuss this with you again sometime, if you're willing.

I'll bring that to our meet up and we can talk somewhere that allows for more privacy.

It's obvious what he means, but the wording on that is kind of... ]
Thank you. I look forward to trying it the next time we meet.
