Living The Red Life
27th U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper: Power, Leadership, and Life-or-Death Decisions

And I have some amazing staff that are ex-military too, and they don't have marketing or media experience, but they've got amazing core values.

Living The Red Life
27th U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper: Power, Leadership, and Life-or-Death Decisions

So I would love to start there, like to summarize, you've been with some of the most powerful people on the planet, right?

Living The Red Life
27th U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper: Power, Leadership, and Life-or-Death Decisions

And seen some crazy situations.

Living The Red Life
27th U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper: Power, Leadership, and Life-or-Death Decisions

And what about, you know, you see so many like little videos online and memes and speeches about, you know, one thing I always talk to my team about is like the saying of how you do one thing is how you do everything.

Living The Red Life
27th U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper: Power, Leadership, and Life-or-Death Decisions

Living The Red Life
27th U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper: Power, Leadership, and Life-or-Death Decisions

I have to recite that and make my team watch it.

Living The Red Life
27th U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper: Power, Leadership, and Life-or-Death Decisions

And I'm such a big believer, like, my best staff are the ones that don't forget the little reports at the end of the day and the little check-ins, right?

Living The Red Life
27th U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper: Power, Leadership, and Life-or-Death Decisions

So do you see that in, like, really successful people out of the military as well?

Living The Red Life
27th U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper: Power, Leadership, and Life-or-Death Decisions

And let's break that down for everyone listening, right?

Living The Red Life
27th U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper: Power, Leadership, and Life-or-Death Decisions

Because I actually kind of teach my team this in a different way.

Living The Red Life
27th U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper: Power, Leadership, and Life-or-Death Decisions

Like when we're super profitable and everything's going well, I see people get lazy for us.

Living The Red Life
27th U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper: Power, Leadership, and Life-or-Death Decisions

And I'm like, guys, you got to pretend like we're losing money.

Living The Red Life
27th U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper: Power, Leadership, and Life-or-Death Decisions

And they're like, Rudy, why do you need it today?

Living The Red Life
27th U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper: Power, Leadership, and Life-or-Death Decisions

Why are we rushing?

Living The Red Life
27th U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper: Power, Leadership, and Life-or-Death Decisions

Because I'm like, it's the little things that add up complacency over time that then turns you from profitable and successful to not.

Living The Red Life
27th U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper: Power, Leadership, and Life-or-Death Decisions

So can you kind of talk about that a little?
