    The funny thing is that Fortune Magazine is written for CEOs to feel good about themselves. So they could have a title that sounds interesting, but it tells the average person nothing at all about life and it never will.

    The funny thing is that this is really obvious if you just consider the context of the speaker and listener. The CEO wants more money, which means probably more people using their company, so they have a financial interest in saying things that will cause that to happen. So the actual situation is that the CEO is saying something because it will benefit him and that what he said might or might not be true.
