And the PE guys aren't that stupid anymore.
They're starting to realize they gotta partner with the founder, figure out a way to keep them motivated.
figure out a way to keep them motivated but so a founder in their 60s or 70s is looking for some liquidity for generational reasons but they don't necessarily want to stop working and so the the better strategy is to partner with them maybe you buy you know a 80 control position and you cash out the family but maybe some members want to stay working and they know all the customers that's a much better model and you give them incentives
to actually work as hard as they did when they controlled it.
It doesn't always work, but it works a lot better than just buying it out and thinking you can just parachute in some random CEO that doesn't know anything about the history and the culture.
And I would also say something that you touched on at the beginning of this question about technology.
You know, you should use every tool
that you can afford to advance productivity both personally and in your business because your competitor definitely is and i'll give you an example damon got me into this i'm going to pull it out of my ear this is an ifb a bluetooth ifb from a company called starkey i don't own any of starkey why am i wearing this thing this thing is connected to my phone it reads to me every communication i'm getting
Even if it comes in a foreign language, it translates it into English for me.
I've chosen five different languages because I'm doing business in the Middle East.
You can use it for all kinds of purposes.
You know, if you've got a bum ear, you can use it as a hearing aid.
But if I want to listen to the conversation over there, I can tune it to listen in over there.
now these are not cheap six thousand dollars but this thing has saved my hiney so many times when i travel and for you know or or i'm doing something like on television i've got the director in my ear i'm on live tv and i'm getting my messages on all of my deals in this year you
It's reading it to me, and I'm able to absorb that and be more productive.
So the minute I get off air, I can call.
Thank you, Damon.
Thank you, Starkey.
I mean, I'm not the only guy.
I mean, a lot of the sharks are using these things now, and Damon brought them to us.
