And the best example I could ever think of for this is Andy Griffith. He's like the ultimate example of what authority is, the confidence, the leadership, discipline, gratitude, enjoyment. and living in composure. And you have guests on here every once in a while that are very high energy, very, very high, and they're a little bit out of composure.

And you've had arguments on the show, which I've seen a couple of times. Man, you had Alex Jones on here, I think, last year.

So I think... When it comes down to composure, Andy Griffith is such a great example. And you are as well. And I'm not saying this to just blow smoke up your ass. But when those people, you can see it in many different episodes of yours, that when people are here and they're freaking out, you're the one that says, all right, hold on. Hold on a second. And you kind of bring a little composure.

Your composure is contagious, right? So that's when you tell leadership is, is this person's behavior contagious to the people around them? That's the measure of leadership.

All right. So I love that you asked this. So I get hired by companies a lot to do kind of employee screenings and all this kind of stuff. And there's a company out there, I can't say the name, but it's a medical company. They make medical instruments. Employee screening? Yeah, for C-suite. They want to find people that, you know, they're hiring for C-suite and it's a big deal.

I mean, it could be a billion dollar mistake. So- They say we want to screen out these guys that have extremely high narcissism, sociopathy, psychopathy. So I developed this like five-page checklist that they could kind of have somebody take this assessment that would trick someone into revealing some of those traits.

And then this took me months, and then I gave it to them, and they're like, no, no, no, we mean just what's one question we can ask? So, of course, we want instant, immediate results, like there's some kind of Harry Potter wizard spell that they can do that's going to reveal this person. So it took me a while, but we came up with the question.

And the question is, what's the biggest thing you learned about yourself in that stressful time, that experience, that past relationship? Fill in the blank. I mean, this would work on a speed date. What's one of the biggest things you learned about yourself?

Specific to a difficult time or a stressful time. So for some people, they're going to say, well, I learned that I have a tendency to overdo things or I lost my temper or I did something wrong. And you'll get genuine lessons from most people. And this is not some definitive test. So anybody listening, this is not some crazy perfect test.

But with the other people, you're a lot more likely to hear things like, And I learned that I shouldn't trust companies right away. I should be a little more skeptical about what I'm getting myself into. I learned that I shouldn't make business deals unless I fully know somebody's background because people aren't very trustworthy. Most people aren't trustworthy.
