The Secret of $100M CEOs – Cameron Herold

Oh, for sure. Are you telling me the absolute best people happen to live within 20 minute drive of your office? Cause nobody great wants to drive 40 minutes to come to you in 40 minutes back. So it's about 20 minutes. So draw a 20 minute grid around your office. 20 minutes away from you is your talent pool.

And you're going to find the absolute best people who line up with your culture and skillset and behavioral traits and AI expertise. Good luck. It ain't going to happen. We noticed that at one 800 got junk. It was tough to find the great people. And we were the number two company in all of Canada. There were only three companies that anyone in Vancouver wanted to work for.

Us, Lululemon, because this was their head office, and the Vancouver Olympics. Those were the only three businesses anyone wanted to work for. But it's hard to find people a 20-minute drive away.

I hope so. I hope that the cuts that they're identifying, that both sides realize that 90% of those cuts are good. You know, look, they looked at all these software licenses that there was, I have to make up some numbers, but 15,000 licenses and only 300 were being used. It's very hard for a Democrat, a Republican, a Libertarian, no one can say, oh, let's keep the 15,000 licenses, right?

That's just waste. So all of those cuts should be okay with, like, I can't comprehend why we should build an embassy in South Sudan. So I think 90% or 95% of the waste we're identifying Everybody should just see that as wasteful. Let's argue about the 5% that maybe there's some philosophical differences that, no, we should take care of, you know, single moms living in wherever.

Yeah, we probably should more, right? Let's take care of, I don't know, even some of the gender issues maybe. Sure. But let's be more ruthless about that decision-making instead of saying yes to everything. And I love, I love that they are posting all the waste that they're seeing because then we can really look at it in front of God and our grandmother.

We can really look at it in the mirror and go, yeah, it's kind of hard to argue that one. That's pretty wasteful, right?

And it's no different than in our normal household, right? If you're a mom and dad and you're raising three kids, you want to make sure that you donate to some of the causes that are important to you. Absolutely. And you want to make sure your kids have food and your kids have clothes and your kids have a good education, your kids are taken care of. So we kind of want to do both.

But you don't want to be wasting food at home. I don't want to be buying a refrigerator full of food and throwing it out every four days because it's going bad. Nor do I want to be donating money to charity and having my kids go starving. So we just have to run the government a little bit more like a business. And there was always this argument that you can't. Well, I think we have to.

I think we have to find a way that the bureaucrats don't actually get to stay in control because when all of this waste is being so uncovered and so glaringly brutal, that's where all the costs are. If we get rid of the waste, we don't have to raise taxes for anybody, for the working class, the middle class, the upper class. Nobody has to pay more.
