The team performance overall is so strong that we can just basically mask that and I can avoid an awkward conversation. The expedition world has taught me that you nip that in the bud as soon as you sense that, right? Whether it's with a particular plan or just understanding what's going on, you need to address that almost immediately.

Too many times in life, I've made so many mistakes, but too many times in life, I have a gut sense, like a gut inclination towards a particular direction, and it becomes vindicated months or even years later, even though I knew what I needed to do a year ago or months ago. Now in an expedition scenario, that's life or death, right?

So you don't, the pressure to make that type of decision is much more to a business decision where someone loses their livelihood or their income, which is still a big deal, but obviously not as big a deal as on an expedition. And I've seen a lot of leaders who just fail to understand that. And so they let low performers continue working in their organizations. But guess what?

The people you work with, if you've done a semi-decent job, are not stupid. They can see that this person has slack and is being let off. And it really affects the morale in particular of your top performers who say, what's the point? What's the point of me pushing towards this big vision that I've been sold on that I want to work towards?

If I don't have to put in the same effort and still be around. And it's the same thing on an expedition. The last thing you really want on expedition is someone who requires a lot of energy and a lot of support, but contributes very little. You have to be agnostic to the reasons for this, right? You can be very sympathetic with someone on an expedition who's having a really difficult time.

And at least on the expeditions I've organized with people that I haven't done expeditions with, they're always in generally well-supported areas. So if I need to evacuate someone or get them out, I don't need to be an ass about it. And if I'm allowed to say that, yeah, I can basically be sympathetic to them and help them get out the expedition without it affecting them or the team.

It's the same for a business. In fact, in many ways, a business is an expedition on easy method. If you need to let someone go tomorrow and you do it in a responsible way that gives them the support they deserve and need, you can make that decision without worrying about whether they'll find work again or whatever. You cannot do that in an expedition environment.

Yeah, okay. With regards to the first part of the question... I think I got very lucky. Anyone who's had any reasonable success in their life and relies on their own sheer will to explain that success, I think there's something they're not telling you. Although I greatly and deeply admire those types of people. That type of notion per se, I think it's actually quite cool.

That being said, for me, it first started at home, in particular with my parents, my mother and father. They had, going back to my analogy of mountains, they had particular goals and peaks that they wished I would summit. But those peaks were actually, they weren't even peaks. They were more like those North stars. They were values.

So my parents didn't tell me that they wanted me to have a particular career or to earn a certain amount of money or to go to a particular university. In fact, I can even remember that when I, I did very well in my application. I got into almost every university that I applied to. And I remember telling my mom and dad about it, so I remember calling them.
