00:00The CEO of Walmart first joined the company in 1984 unloading trailers in a warehouse,
00:05and rear-ended his boss's car on the first day. Now Doug McMillan is the CEO of a $648 billion
00:13empire, and the top company on the Fortune Global 500 list. He told graduates of the
00:18University of Arkansas that three key learnings helped him make it to the top while maintaining
00:23a balanced life. McMillan recommends living in the moment, choosing a career that doesn't feel
00:28like work, and trusting and believing in people. McMillan said he realized people worldwide had
00:33more in common than they do differences, and it's important to stay focused on our
00:37shared motivations. And when you can, give back to others.
