So poor, smart, hungry, whatever his say is.

Not an MBA.

Right.

I'm attracted to people who have humble beginnings, who have overcome adversity, who don't fear failure, who want to be a team player, who are straight shooter and non-bureaucratic.

Clear is the biggest company I've ever worked at.

Hiring those people

Great success, but I need to work on my bias of everyone wants to do it my way.

Also, I'm on the Home Depot board and I have learned so much about growing people internally from Home Depot.

Incredible leaders, an incredible company.

They grow people internally in the most magnificent way.

They take talent development really seriously.

And so I've learned a lot from that.

We have great success stories of people who have been here eight and 10 years on a 15-year-old company.

Started in one place, have had five different jobs and are significant leaders at Clear.

And so I love those stories.

But people are motivated by very different things and you have to understand their motivation and their incentives and where they fit in the organization.

You don't want everyone like me conceptually.

I know no other way.

My kids don't get it.

Happily, they're all sort of wired like me and Mark.
