00:00:00.000 I think the dumbest thing you could do

00:00:01.460 is hire other people and then tell them what to do.

00:00:04.220 When I interview somebody,

00:00:05.860 the test project has them tell me,

00:00:08.420 what are you gonna do in the first 90 days?

00:00:10.120 Interview the people, look at our data.

00:00:11.900 You tell me what you're gonna do in the first 90 days.

00:00:14.380 If I gotta tell you I hired the wrong person,

00:00:16.100 why would I hire somebody and then do their job for them?

00:00:18.420 I know why people do that, because it feels safe.

00:00:20.220 I control you, that way you can't fuck it up.

00:00:22.220 But then where did you buy back your time?

00:00:23.940 Where did you get the leverage?

00:00:25.080 Where did you actually deploy dollars

00:00:27.160 to create a scenario where you get more time

00:00:29.280 and make more money.
