You need to hire and promote people who have the qualities and skills that you don't have in the same degree.

Because I'm a firm believer, our culture makes heroes out of entrepreneurs like Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos.

And I mean, all those guys, they're all brilliant people.

but they also build great teams.

And those teams are what make the business successful.

Entrepreneur is the driver, but you're no better than your team.

Yes.

I do.

Well, so going along with that, well, I have a very strong sense of purpose.

And I can infuse purpose and help other people to see purpose.

I have a certain charisma in that regard.

And because I'm so passionate and I'm an intense guy, people are very attracted to passion in general.

Uh,

Anybody that's passionate about something, I find it fascinating.

No matter what it is.

They could be just a plumber, but who's really in there just working away.

And you can see that they're figuring it out.

They're solving it.

And it's like, wow, you're watching a master craftsman at work here.

It's fascinating.
