But oftentimes, the trajectory is you go from 2 out of 10 to a 4 out of 10 to a 6 out of 10 to an 8 out of 10, and then eventually you get to a 10 out of 10. Finding a way to celebrate those interim milestones that are not yet perfect, it's been really hard. And it definitely discourages people within the company. Giving the internal praise of, hey, you made progress there.

Let me cheer you on and be the cheerleader to help you go from a 4 out of 10 to a 6 out of 10 to an 8 out of 10. That's really hard. I do feel strongly that you should never celebrate something that just factually isn't good. If we're delivering something at a 4 out of 10, that is factually bad.

We should not be celebrating that we're delivering a 4 out of 10, but we should celebrate the progress that we're making and the trajectory that we're on. And so finding a way to support the team through that terrible to good to great process.

You know, I was talking to an entrepreneur friend of mine who I deeply respect. And they said, you know, we set a big, hairy, audacious goal. And then within that, we asked the team, what's the first thing you can celebrate? Because it means that you're on track to achieve the big, hairy, audacious goal. The big, hairy, audacious goal, I've always done.

The what's the first thing you can celebrate question, I've never done. And I love it. It's a huge unlock. So now you can ask the team, what's the first milestone that you can achieve and prove that you're going in that direction? And then actually doing a celebration around it.

I'm very independent, very self-sufficient. The downside of this is, it comes from a childhood of a bunch of weirdness that I won't go into now, but people find it very hard to get to know me. They find it very hard to read me within the company. So I try to be more, I try to tell people what I'm thinking. I try to let my face be expressive, which isn't naturally.

Usually I just smile no matter what I'm thinking. But people find it very hard to get to know me, very hard to read me, very hard to empathize with me. On the flip side of that, it allows me to live in my own universe for decision making or big thinking. So my favorite times are sitting on an airplane. No one needs to talk to me. I can just sit there and think. I put my headphones on.
