The time has come. Time to tell you who’s taking over for me when I’m gone.

I want y’all to know, right up front, that this was a difficult decision to make. I had a lot of factors to weigh. A lot of things that kept me up at night, and I’ve already been having trouble sleeping so this wasn’t exactly a pleasant few weeks now.

And I thought: I’m going to have a hell of a time explaining this. Because there’s a lot about this decision that makes sense on paper, but there’s also a lot that makes sense in my head. The stuff in my head, every time I try to say it, it gets all jumbled up.

But at the end of the day, the decision is mine. This isn’t about any one person. This is about the good of the company. It’s about building on the promise I made to myself with Cloud—that we wouldn’t just concern ourselves with getting goods from one place to another. That we’d do our best to make the world a better place. By providing jobs, and health care, and housing. By reducing the greenhouse gases suffocating our planet, with the dream that one day people will be able to go outside again all year round.

I want to thank Ray Carson for his years of service to Cloud. Man has been there since the beginning. He’s been like a brother to me. And I will never forget the kindness he showed me on our first night, that night where all I wanted was a celebratory drink and I couldn’t afford it. That’s a true measure of character. The man has it in spades. I know he’s the one you all expect me to name. Every news network on earth, even all the ones I own, has been reporting it like that.

But my daughter, Claire, will replace me as the president and CEO of Cloud.

I’ve already asked Ray to stay on in his position as vice president and COO, and I’m awaiting his response. I truly hope he stays on. Claire needs it. The company needs it. We’re at our best with him. That’s all for now. I just really want to make this clear. It wasn’t easy. But it was the right decision to make.
