Nito Cobain's leadership and had the opportunity with a small group of people to spend some time with him.

And he just started sharing some stories about this consistent commitment to removing irritants.

He even told us a story about how it came to his attention that students kept leaving the campus on the weekend to go to an arcade.

So he thought, well, let's build them one.

Yeah, that's an inconvenience for them to have to leave the campus and figure out ways to get over there and catch rides.

He goes, well, what if they could just go downstairs?

What if they could just walk out of their dorm room and have fun here?

He removed and nears him.

He also tells a story where he was standing in his office and his office overlooks the campus.

And he saw a student going from one building to another.

Now there was a sidewalk where they would kind of walk around the hill and go over to the next building.

But he noticed that students kept walking over the hill to get to the next building because it was the most natural path to get there.

Until the next day, Dr. Cobain had pavers.

Yeah, he had a construction crew out there making a way, paving a way to make it easier for students to get from one building to another.

What's he doing?

He's removing irritants.

He's asking the question, what's the most annoying thing that parents have to deal with?

What's the most annoying thing that students have to deal with?

And how can we remove those irritants?

My friends, it's not a flashy idea.
