Yeah.

For me, it's one of the most important years for black people in American history.

Listen to Look Back at It on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

I'm on a landmine!

There's a fire coming to this country and it's going to burn out everything.

Real talent is defined by what people can do, not where they learn to do it.

So by stopping at the education section of a resume, you might throw away the perfect hire.

Skills First Hiring helps you see talent others miss, like more than 70 million stars, skilled through alternative routes.

Let their story unfold and gain a competitive advantage because hiring managers who start with skills are 60% more likely to find a successful hire.

Hire skills first.

To be clear, 84 was big to me, not just because of crack.

I'm down to talk about crack all day, but just so y'all know.

I mean, at this point, Mark, this is the second episode where we've discussed crack.

So I'm starting to see that there's a through line.

Thank you for finishing that sentence.

Yes.

I don't think there's a more important year for black people.
