And, you know, I did hear that.

I don't know if you agree with this or not, but I heard this quote that said,

expect people that work for you to do 75% as well as you could do it.

Oh yeah.

I agree with that.

I will say there are things that I, that people do better than me.

Like, like the nice culture relationship stuff, I would say running the ads, actually doing the ads, not, not, not my forte.

So anyone I hire pretty much is going to do better than me.

But in general, you know,

This may sound bad, but I think if you delegate, expect people to not do as good in a lot of ways, which is hard.

But if you start at a high enough standard for yourself, like, and, and that's, I would say I do like really shoot for excellence, like not, not, not a hundred percent, but like a thousand percent, like do the best, then they're 75% will still be excellent, you know?

So I don't remember the original question, but yeah.

um we're human dude sometimes we need encouragement sometimes we need to be around other performers in order to stay at the top of the game right do you agree with that yes yeah i mean that cliche saying that you are like the i don't know what they say six or seven people you surround yourself but absolutely true whether remotely or not but like i think in person is better because we have that human connection you're seeing them eye to eye huge um

But yeah, just that matters quite a bit.

Like who you surround yourself by, who you talk to, who you listen to.

And I mean, even if your listener is listening to this podcast, you're then doing something that's going to influence you later.

You're listening to people, seeing people who are acting in ways that you want to act more like.

And I mean, you see it in high school, right?

The kids that dress in black and they wear all black there with all the other kids that...

look the same and dress the same.
