I've had key inner circle members that have had seven or eight positions in a in a period of maybe 13, 14 years with me. voice-verified

I mean, they've gone from this one to another because they train and empower and and and then that they they've done that, so they don't need to run that, so they go over and run another area. voice-verified

I have a wonderful friend of mine who's been with me for over 20 years, Dan Ryland. voice-verified

Little that man, I bet you he has worked himself out of at least a dozen jobs in 20 plus years of being with me. voice-verified
