If companies and agencies could get talent or music for the price that they want, for the usage that they want, with the deliverables that they want, I wouldn't have a job, right? So nothing's easy. But we solve problems with enthusiasm. That's always been my motto. Let's solve these problems with enthusiasm. Let's find a way. Let's always kind of be straightforward. Let's not go like this.

And let's do the right thing. And it's, I think probably if you said, but you didn't ask, but I'll answer anyway. What am I most proud about of Mayflower Entertainment, my current company that's in its ninth year right now, and probably most of my other companies and my partners that I've had. We have very, very, very little turnover.

We have very, very, very little turnover.

In nine years of having, almost nine years, our ninth year of having Mayflower, we fired one person. We had one person that didn't want to be in business affairs anymore and they wanted to be an account lead. We don't have account leads, so they went somewhere else. And we had one person go to a client who was servicing that client. The client loved them so much, they brought them in house.

That's it. Nobody really leaves because...

Look, we just brought on someone new, started Tuesday. What day is today? Thursday, two days. One of his employees has been there two days. And in the interview process, they don't come to me first. I let them go for four or five other people. They interview them both ways. The potential employee interviews, my employees, they interview and it's more of kind of an interaction.

Are you the right fit to become part of this family? Because you just can't come in. And I don't want someone who's going to be here a year, two years, three years, or four years. I want someone who's going to be committed to learn and be a part of our family and not leave. You know, kind of like Hotel California. You check in, but you can never leave. But we don't want you to leave.

And I think that it's very hard. We're in a very specialized business. Very hard to train new people. Very hard to bring great people aboard. There's very few specialists that do what we do in music, sports, or Hollywood, or licensing. And when we get them, we don't want to lose them. And if you ever do want to leave, you know, we probably had over 100 people.

And in like 14 years, I can count on two hands how many people left or quit or got fired. And when you're ready to leave, one person in my sports group wanted to go to Golf Digest. I'll make the call for you. One wanted to be a yoga instructor. I don't know where that came from. Let me help you. A couple of them wanted to start their own businesses. Let me seed you.

I learned that from Julian Robertson at Tiger. If I have great people and I believe in them, and they want to go off on their own and do something tangential to my business, how can I support you? How can I back you both financially with monetary capital, but also human capital? Let me find you good employees. Let's talk. How can I help? And I think that's what I'm the most proud of.
