Quote of the day by Mohanned bin Salman: 'I fear that the day I die, I am going to die without accomplishing what I have in my mind'

During their conversation, Friedman observed the relentless, around-the-clock work culture among the young prince and his senior advisers. Friedman noted that MBS's intense work habits reminded him of a famous line from the musical Hamilton, in which the chorus asks why the protagonist always works like he is "running out of time".
