Sometimes we'll be sitting around our conference table and we'll have the client there and we're working on a marketing strategy.
And one of my favorite moments is that pensive moment when they're sitting there going, what's the answer to this?
How do we fix this problem?
That's where we get to come in and really kind of save the day.
And sometimes they'll have input and we never shy away from input because ideas only get stronger when they're challenged.
That's a good way to look at it.
So I joined the military when I was 17.
My parents signed a waiver so that I could go.
Went to boot camp at Fort Jackson, South Carolina.
Missed that place.
We had a lot of fun there.
I had a really good group of guys that I went through with, which makes all the difference.

When you've got the suckers, it just drags everybody down.
Never forget, my drill sergeant was drill sergeant, senior drill sergeant Huff.
He ran the entire cycle.
So not only did he run a bunch of other platoons, but he ran ours.
And that guy was just this big seven-foot black behemoth.
Oh, my God.
When he came in the room, air moved away.
