I'm still trying, but I definitely have come up with a process that I talk about because hiring the wrong person costs you millions of dollars.

I mean, in time and productivity and rehiring, there's so many challenges, as you know.

But if you get the right people, game changer, right?

You know, I definitely could tell you for investing.

So if I put my investor hat on, I'll tell you for hiring.

Investing, if you come in and you say in year five, it's a hockey stick and we're going to make a ton of EBITDA and wild growth.

I know you have no idea what you're talking about.

I don't know why people do that all the time.

Yeah, we're going to be hugely profitable and tons of growth in your five, but you're investing in one.

It's like, I want to see what is the actual plan.

So when someone shows me their pitch deck and that's the hockey stick, I actually pass.

If you have a huge ego, I definitely do not hire you.

I want a team player.

I need an all-star team.

I don't need an all-star player.

And I think it reflects the values.

What you were saying, Holland, every one of my companies, I have very clear values.

And if your behaviors, even in an interview process, don't match my values or my company's values, I won't hire you.

For example, if my value is collaborative,

and you want to play it by yourself, that is not going to work in my organization.
