For me, what I needed really, I think, was learning. I had to go out and really learn a lot. So I didn't know the best-selling books. I didn't know a lot of stuff. And that's back before we had computers. So I had Microfish. So I'm getting Microfish in.

I'm going down the library, just working really hard to understand the industries I was getting into, which was the Christian industry and the office supplies. Because again, I came in with no information on either one of them. Outside, I had a... Kirkbride Bible, maybe, you know, Thompson chain Bible at that time. So I think working hard was part of that and just being a lifelong learner.

I always want to learn. I've always been a lifelong learner. And so I just feel like jumping in and learning about that and, uh, and making some mistakes. And, uh, like I say, some of the mistakes I made, I held on too long with employees, others, I was easier for me to move on and said, well, that doesn't work. Let's, let's move on.

Early on for the business, I would go to other Christian bookstores and find out where the best Christian bookstores are. I just called my reps. Hey, you sell books. Who's the best in the country? Okay, I'm flying all over this country just going and looking and learning.

And it was huge for me because sometimes your brain is a certain size, but I wanted to go stretch my brain, see something, see the best. And so that's what helped me as far as the Mardell stores.

Yeah, again, it's tapping into other people, whether it's through their books. A lot of times it's through books because I don't know people and all that stuff. I listen to the Greg Groeschel Leadership Podcast. And so even through COVID, there was a phenomenal podcast you had right in the middle of it. I'm thinking, oh, my gosh, what are we going to do now?

I mean, if you went to leadership, it was right in the middle of COVID. And you had a podcast that came out that spoke very deeply to me. And so it's just listening to others, picking it up. And sometimes you get from younger people because now – The world has changed. I didn't grow up in the digital world, so I'm learning from them.
