00:00:00.000 I think the dumbest thing you could do is hire other people

00:00:02.820 and then tell them what to do.

00:00:04.240 When I interview somebody,

00:00:06.000 the test project has them tell me,

00:00:08.500 what are you gonna do in the first 90 days?

00:00:10.240 Have access to the team, interview the people,

00:00:12.280 look at our data.

00:00:13.120 You tell me what you're gonna do in the first 90 days.

00:00:15.620 If I gotta tell you I hired the wrong person,

00:00:17.360 why would I hire somebody and then do their job for them?

00:00:19.700 I know why people do that, because it feels safe.

00:00:21.660 It's not scary.

00:00:22.560 I control you, that way you can't fuck it up.

00:00:24.560 But then where did you buy back your time?

00:00:26.300 Where did you get the leverage?

00:00:27.260 Where did you actually deploy dollars

00:00:29.500 to create a scenario where you get more time and make more money.
