Welcome back to the show.
Chris, I'm ecstatic for you to be here with me. Thank you so much for joining. Hey, thanks for having me, man. Absolutely. So we were talking about a couple of different things about businesses and how to scale them. But one of the things you do better than everybody else is culture.
So for the people who don't know you, which I can't imagine there's many that don't, for those who don't know you, can you give us a little bit of debrief on who you are and what you do better than everyone else?
I'm a serial entrepreneur who had a big company that I sold at the end of 2021. Along the way, during my journey in managing thousands of people, I realized I was a crap boss and doing culture totally wrong. I had to figure out what we were actually supposed to do. I thought I was doing it great. Then one day you look in the mirror and you're like... It's like saying, oh, I'm really healthy.
And then you look in the mirror and you're fat. And it's like, huh, what I'm saying and what I'm doing are two different things. And so I realized I needed to change culture. And we did it. We did it really successfully. I worked with a lot of other big organizations to take it to them. And now I spend my time speaking and writing and helping companies make work not suck for people.
