Can't find them.

Okay, it's 10% and I can't find the people.

Okay, what's the issue?

Okay, they're not teaching the right things.

That led me down a path, and it was serendipity that I happened to do a review of corporate social responsibility.

We had this one little fledgling school in a low-income area.

And high school was a community college.

We gave them internships, direction on curriculum.

lo and behold, we could hire these kids.

I said, hmm, this is not CSR.

I just found a new talent pool, which takes me to now what I'm doing in my post-retirement.

I'm like, this idea that don't hire just for a college degree, we had 99% of our hires were college and PhDs, and I'm all for it.

So you're very, don't.

I'm deeply offended.

No, you should not be.

And I, you know, I'm vice chair at Northwestern, one of the vice chairs.

But I said, I just really like aptitude does not equal access.

These people didn't have access, but they had aptitude.

It changed my whole view to skills first.

And so now for hiring, that's kind of a long story to tell you.
