And so every time that I'm presented with a decision or a situation, it's not what do I want to do? It's not what do I feel like doing? But it's what decision, what action is approved by your board of directors? And those board of directors are my values.
Yes. And I'm, I'm like, if there's one thing that I actually really feel confident in, well, there's two things. One, I'm honest, like to a fault. I cannot, I cannot lie. The second is that I absolutely make decisions by my values. It can be gut wrenching. It can be, I'm up all night sweating. It can be, but I will make decisions based on my values.

And that visual has helped me so many times, especially in business, because You know, there's so many deals, for example, like Home Across the Table. It's like, man, this company is killing it.

Something's off. Yeah. And I'm like, I don't want to give this person money.

You know, it's funny. I discovered those values to myself yesterday. I want to say it was when we were selling our first company and I took a lot of time to think about like what are my values, right? And I made it easy by turning those into my company values because I think that it's so silly that we have different values for a company than we would for ourselves.

It's like wouldn't you want the values of the company to be the values of the founder? And so the first one is sincere candor, which is like being honest. The second one is unimpeachable character, being someone that people are proud to associate with on and off the field. Meaning for me, like my personal life and my business life are in order.

Like me, like behind the scenes, like doing anything crazy. Like if I'm going to do something crazy behind the scenes, I have to be okay with showing everybody as well. Like I just can't, I'm not going to hide stuff. But I don't do anything crazy because I would like to live in a way that is unimpeachable. And then the third one is competitive greatness.

And so it's like every time I make a decision, I'm like, does this align with my values? And I try to keep it just with those three, because if there's more than three, it's very difficult to make decisions quickly when you have like 17 values. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's good. You know what I mean?
