00:00:49.600 the rules.

00:00:52.720 We got 75 hard verses, but I do want to remind you that we need your help growing the show.
00:00:58.700 We need you to share the show.
00:01:00.000 All right.
00:01:00.260 We don't run ads for the show.
00:01:01.900 We don't run ads on the show.
00:01:03.220 I don't want to say what someone thinks I need to say because they're paying me some money
00:01:08.620 to represent their product to try to keep it real with you guys.
00:01:11.800 Whether you agree or disagree with me, that's how we run the show.
00:01:15.980 So I ask very simply if the show makes you think, if it makes you laugh, it gives you

00:01:31.020 That's right.
00:01:31.740 Yeah.
00:01:31.920 What's up, man?
00:01:32.300 What's going on, man?
00:01:33.300 Nothing, dude.
00:01:33.820 A little Saturday sizzle.
00:01:34.980 Yep.
00:01:35.700 Yep.
00:01:36.020 Trying to keep it going.
00:01:37.100 I do want to remind people that MFCEO Project is coming back.
00:01:41.360 And if you don't know what MFCEO Project is, it was the number one business podcast on iTunes
00:01:46.820 for a very long time.
00:01:48.640 It was my initial podcast and it was all personal development, how to win, how to kick ass in
00:01:52.860 life.
00:01:54.160 And we are bringing that back.
00:01:56.040 Now, if you want to know where that can be found and where we are going to be posting
00:02:00.500 that, you're going to need to go to my website, andyfricella.com and subscribe for the Andy
00:02:04.980 Graham emails, which is your daily Andy Graham.
00:02:08.200 It's like an Instagram post, but it goes straight to your email, okay?
00:02:11.900 We're not going to talk about it publicly.
00:02:13.480 I'm not going to post about it publicly.
00:02:15.900 We're just going to do it through that email list.
00:02:17.640 So, if you're not on that email list, go get on it.
00:02:19.960 That way, you'll be notified when MFCEO drops.
00:02:23.020 So, what's up, man?
00:02:23.980 What's going on, man?
00:02:24.980 Oh, not much.
00:02:25.820 Well, let's make some people better because I got three good ones for you.
00:02:31.660 Cool.
00:02:32.140 Shocking.
00:02:32.920 Yeah.
00:02:34.520 Let's knock these out, guys.
00:02:35.640 Question number one.
00:02:37.960 Hi, Andy.
00:02:39.700 I am an eight-year veteran police officer for a department in Arizona.
00:02:44.160 For context, I am a woman.
00:02:46.740 Now, I've been following you for years.
00:02:48.720 I feel like I know you.
00:02:49.860 I support everything you do and stand for.
00:02:51.700 And so, without jumping to conclusions and making quick judgments, can you give me a little
00:02:56.840 more feedback on your women in law enforcement statement?
00:03:00.920 I have made plenty of sacrifices.
00:03:02.720 Which statement?
00:03:03.740 That women should not be in law enforcement. 0.99
00:03:05.820 Oh.
00:03:06.460 Okay.
00:03:06.980 Yeah.
00:03:07.400 I think a couple episodes ago.
00:03:08.560 Well, I think I believe I said they shouldn't be in the field of law enforcement.
00:03:12.660 That's what I said.
00:03:13.680 Yeah.
00:03:14.660 But she says, I have made plenty of sacrifices in the line of duty, received a lifesaver
00:03:19.680 commendation in 2022, and I have held my own in this career.
00:03:23.820 This is how I provide for my family, and I love what I do.
00:03:27.960 All right.
00:03:28.540 Let's talk about it.
00:03:29.940 Well, first off, let me start with this.
00:03:32.020 Okay.
00:03:32.820 Myself, our companies, our people, there is not a bigger group of people that support law
00:03:39.140 enforcement than we do.
00:03:40.660 Okay.
00:03:41.000 We do multiple charitable events and give away hundreds of thousands of dollars and collectively
00:03:47.940 millions of dollars over the course of our business life to the law enforcement locally.
00:03:53.420 It's our biggest beneficiary of the work that we do.
00:03:57.320 So you're not going to find better supporters than we are.
00:04:01.480 With that being said, I think my comments were generalized, and I think I need to clarify
00:04:06.520 them a little bit.
00:04:07.260 I'm fine with that.
00:04:07.960 I had a couple women here in St. Louis that were upset with me that I know that are police 1.00
00:04:11.320 officers, and they were like, Andy, I love you, dude, but what the fuck is this?
00:04:17.100 So we'll address it.
00:04:19.220 And what I really should have said, and did I overgeneralize?
00:04:23.340 Yeah, for sure.
00:04:24.000 And I do that sometimes, that's the nature of how I speak, and I'm trying to get better
00:04:28.080 about it.
00:04:28.900 But what I really mean is that certain women shouldn't be police officers, and certain 0.99
00:04:33.980 men shouldn't be police officers.
00:04:35.600 And if we're going to have women be police officers, they should be capable, they should 1.00
00:04:39.320 be emotionally stable, they should be able to de-escalate situations, and they shouldn't
00:04:43.340 take advantage of opportunities where men are emasculated because they're in a situation
00:04:49.280 with a gun and a badge.
00:04:50.460 And that goes for men, too.
00:04:52.620 Okay, so it's not just a women thing, it's a men thing. 0.67
00:04:55.780 And so when I said what I said, it was a generalization, man, and I should have said it differently,
00:05:00.580 but the truth of the matter is, we have positions in society that are better suited for men,
00:05:05.000 we have positions in society that are better suited for women. 1.00
00:05:07.360 I'm not saying that there's certain women that can't do these jobs of men, because there 0.85
00:05:10.500 definitely are, bro.
00:05:12.400 There's women who are nearly, or if not more physically superior than most men out there.
00:05:17.980 We see this in the Olympics, we see this in MMA, we see this in judo and fucking jiu-jitsu.
00:05:25.140 And then we have, you know, the same situation with men.
00:05:27.620 We have men who are physically capable of doing something, and we have a lot of men that aren't.
00:05:31.180 So, you know, and by the way, I'm speaking of personal interactions that I've had out there
00:05:36.960 in reality.
00:05:38.260 And in reality, the situations I've had have been more favorable with men police officers
00:05:43.600 than they have been with women.
00:05:44.960 And I don't know why that is, but to me, being on the receiving end, it always felt like
00:05:49.520 there was an establishment of dominance that needed to happen, when in reality, I would
00:05:53.520 have respected her for just asking me politely to do this or that.
00:05:56.800 So, you know, I can understand why someone would, you know, be offended by that a little
00:06:02.700 bit and, you know, question it.
00:06:04.220 But guys, I love you guys.
00:06:05.340 I raise money for you guys all the time.
00:06:06.860 There's nobody that's out here supporting you guys more than I.
00:06:10.260 You have all these, you know, people calling you bootlickers and, you know, fucking the
00:06:15.240 police are bad and all this shit, bro.
00:06:17.140 I've never gone down that road every one time.
00:06:19.180 We continue to support.
00:06:20.540 We continue to raise money.
00:06:21.680 We continue to support.
00:06:22.880 It's a very difficult job.
00:06:24.320 You've got to put all this shit on and go out in the world and deal with the worst possible
00:06:27.620 elements of society every fucking day. 0.87
00:06:30.140 I have tremendous respect for that.
00:06:31.740 And I believe that I'm probably the only person on the fucking internet that has said,
00:06:36.560 hey, these people need to be paid way more money.
00:06:39.160 We need to stop shipping all this money over to Ukraine and the Middle East and all these 1.00
00:06:43.800 bullshit causes.
00:06:44.840 We need to pay our police officers the right amount, 200, 400 fucking grand so that they
00:06:50.020 can do this dangerous job and be compensated properly for it.
00:06:53.440 So like you get me in the office, bro, you guys will make a lot more money.
00:06:56.560 All right.
00:06:57.060 So, you know, I can understand why someone would be upset with that.
00:07:00.320 That wasn't the intent of my comment.
00:07:01.700 And I did overgeneralize and I take responsibility for that.
00:07:04.380 I'm a big boy.
00:07:05.000 I can handle the criticism.
00:07:06.300 But at the end of the day, I love you guys.
00:07:08.040 I appreciate you guys.
00:07:09.000 And I'd fucking and I have physically gone to battle for women cops in the city. 1.00
00:07:14.700 There was a situation about eight years ago where I had to literally save one of the
00:07:19.640 female cops life because she was in over her head with a fucking six foot eight massive 1.00
00:07:24.780 man.
00:07:25.220 And you know what?
00:07:27.080 Had I not been there, that could have been potentially bad.
00:07:29.980 And that's a lot of where I derive that experience from.
00:07:32.340 When I see that situation and I see a five foot four police officer and a six foot eight
00:07:37.460 man and I have to draw my own personal weapon to control the situation, that gives me some
00:07:43.080 perspective about the comments that I said.
00:07:45.880 I think, you know, I don't want anybody getting hurt.
00:07:48.340 I don't want anybody getting killed.
00:07:49.580 And I've witnessed those things.
00:07:51.300 So, you know, I love you guys.
00:07:53.700 I appreciate you guys.
00:07:54.900 And, you know, I should have said it differently and been more careful my words, but it is
00:07:59.760 what it is.
00:08:00.640 Well, I think there's also context to like to your point where he's like, no, you've
00:08:03.560 had better experiences with male cops than you have a female. 0.74
00:08:06.440 I think there's something, too.
00:08:07.300 And this is what we were talking about in that episode, though.
00:08:09.560 It's like, you know, with men, there is this like understanding.
00:08:14.680 It's not a conversation.
00:08:16.040 I don't know if it's body length, but like we know.
00:08:18.060 Yes.
00:08:18.500 Like I know that they are going to be consequences.
00:08:20.800 There's potential consequences for my actions or words.
00:08:24.140 Yeah.
00:08:24.600 And like women don't have that same. 0.94
00:08:26.540 They don't walk through life with that same thing.
00:08:29.760 Because women don't naturally go to physicality when it comes to conflict. 1.00
00:08:32.920 Right.
00:08:33.200 And men do through nature.
00:08:34.800 Okay.
00:08:35.100 And that was the point we were trying to make.
00:08:37.040 Yeah.
00:08:38.260 But yeah, man.
00:08:39.380 Look, you had a great career.
00:08:40.900 There's lots of women that are fucking tremendous leaders and tremendous, tremendous at doing things 1.00
00:08:46.120 that men do.
00:08:46.980 I mean, bro, oil rigs, construction, fucking farming.
00:08:51.920 Look, I know women that do all of these things and they're amazing at it. 1.00
00:08:55.000 All I'm saying is, is that we have to pick the right people for the right position and
00:08:58.380 not all people qualify for that.
00:09:00.640 And I think we've gotten a little bit liberal with who we let to be men cops and who we let
00:09:05.140 to be women cops. 1.00
00:09:05.880 And I think there needs to be some higher standards for both sides.
00:09:09.460 All across the board.
00:09:10.040 And by the way, people need to respect the police officers better, too.
00:09:15.460 You know, we have this anti-narrative of the police that there's some bad people, bro.
00:09:19.880 Listen, do you know what the fucking world would look like without the police?
00:09:22.880 Do you understand what it would look like without people keeping order?
00:09:25.600 These people have to go out every single fucking day and deal with people that are drunk,
00:09:29.160 on drugs, having the worst days of their life.
00:09:32.080 And then they're shit on by society.
00:09:34.040 And so like, dude, to hear, you know, because I had a couple of friends here locally, like
00:09:38.080 I said, that were a little upset with what I said.
00:09:40.800 And that hurts me.
00:09:42.640 I don't like that because that's not who I am.
00:09:44.740 You know what I'm saying?
00:09:45.420 I want people to be safe.
00:09:46.600 I want the world to be good.
00:09:47.680 And by the way, if you vote for me, I'll pay you more money.
00:09:50.760 I love it, man.
00:09:52.260 Guys, Andy, question number two.
00:09:54.340 Andy, I own a hospitality business and my career has been in the customer service industry.
00:10:00.900 Yeah.
00:10:01.260 I'm curious.
00:10:02.660 When is the customer not always right?
00:10:05.260 And how do you train your staff to handle those situations?
00:10:08.080 Well, look, I think it's important to understand that 98%, 99% of the customers you deal with
00:10:20.320 are not malicious.
00:10:22.120 They are not trying to take advantage.
00:10:23.820 They just want their problems solved effectively.
00:10:27.520 And because most companies do not solve customers' problems effectively without resistance,
00:10:35.260 customers have this natural mentality when they ask for something now that it has to be abrasive
00:10:42.520 and aggressive and they've got to demand it right away.
00:10:46.320 When in reality, dude, like that comes from all these other companies and all their experiences,
00:10:51.800 sort of like that last question where I'm talking about my perspective of my experiences.
00:10:56.660 And we have to be careful, just like that last question, to not generalize all of these customers
00:11:03.120 as taking advantage because they're not.
00:11:05.380 Most people just want their goods that they paid for.
00:11:07.980 They want it fairly fast, convenient, and they want to be handled and treated with respect.
00:11:13.580 And so when you own a business, are you going to have customers that are going to try and
00:11:18.500 take advantage?
00:11:19.140 Are you going to have customers that are going to try and get more, get one over?
00:11:24.660 Yes, absolutely.
00:11:25.880 But dude, most of the customers are just people that want their shit solved.
00:11:30.820 And if you can take the mentality of, okay, I'm going to solve their problem, but I'm also
00:11:34.980 going to do some extra, you'll drive so much good word of mouth because the people who are
00:11:39.380 upset and vocal, they will also be your biggest advocate and vocal about that too when you fix
00:11:44.940 the problem.
00:11:45.460 So I say all that to say this, are there times when you have to tell a customer no?
00:11:51.600 Yes.
00:11:52.180 Are there times when you have to fire a customer and say, hey, we've done everything we can.
00:11:57.020 I know that you're not happy.
00:11:59.960 Maybe there's another company that will be able to service you better.
00:12:03.060 Here's some alternative options.
00:12:04.720 And you always keep the classy demeanor.
00:12:07.380 You always handle it with respect, even if they aren't, because they usually aren't at
00:12:11.360 this point.
00:12:11.780 Um, and try to solve the problem the best they can.
00:12:15.360 And sometimes dude, like these people are having a bad day.
00:12:17.980 They lost their dog.
00:12:19.020 They lost a loved one.
00:12:20.040 They're going through a hard time.
00:12:21.940 They, their paycheck got delayed or they don't have a paycheck.
00:12:25.460 They don't, you know, who knows, who knows?
00:12:27.520 It could be the worst day ever.
00:12:29.260 So I think it's always good in business to give those people the benefit of the doubt.
00:12:32.780 And what I've found is that if you do give them the benefit of the doubt and you do stay
00:12:37.980 true to solving the problem, instead of getting an argument with them, eventually they will
00:12:42.240 walk away.
00:12:43.280 And I can't tell you how many times this has happened to me.
00:12:45.980 Eventually they will walk away and they will say, dude, I was an asshole.
00:12:50.580 I shouldn't have done that.
00:12:51.760 And I could tell you, dude, there's been so many people over the course of 25 years who
00:12:56.380 have been very rude to me and I've continued to be nice to them.
00:12:59.540 And then they've come back later and owned, owned what they did, bro.
00:13:02.760 There's nothing wrong with making mistakes as long as you fucking own them.
00:13:05.480 You know what I'm saying?
00:13:06.080 And then what happens is, is that person, when they come back, they become an advocate
00:13:09.140 because you always kept your cool and you still tried to solve their problem, even though
00:13:12.760 they were belligerent about it.
00:13:14.080 Yeah.
00:13:14.760 Now, now moving that into your team, how do you communicate that to your team?
00:13:18.020 Like, how do you hold that as the standard with your team?
00:13:20.560 Well, a lot of that is just reps and training and hypothetical situations, role playing, you know,
00:13:26.780 making them understand the concept of loyalty and what it takes to create loyalty, not just
00:13:33.960 satisfaction, right?
00:13:35.020 Because you're not trying to get satisfied customers.
00:13:37.300 Satisfied customers means that you're, you're one inch away from being unsatisfied.
00:13:41.560 Okay.
00:13:41.960 So like when companies say, oh, I got a 99% satisfaction rate, that doesn't really mean
00:13:45.760 shit.
00:13:46.180 That means you're doing just good enough with 99% of your people to not piss them off.
00:13:51.060 That's not what you want.
00:13:52.040 What you want is for them to be thrilled, to be excited, to be ecstatic about being a
00:13:57.120 customer of your brand.
00:13:58.140 And that only happens when you stay true to the intent, which is to solve their problem,
00:14:03.300 regardless of the day that they're having, or regardless of the mood that they are in.
00:14:07.400 And a lot of business owners, this is where the dangerous part comes in.
00:14:10.880 You have one or two or three customers that treat you shitty.
00:14:14.040 And then you start assuming that everybody is trying to take advantage and do that'll ruin
00:14:19.320 your business because your mentality will go from, Hey, I got to fix these problems.
00:14:23.920 I got to serve these problems.
00:14:24.920 I got to create advocates out of these people to fuck those people. 0.86
00:14:28.620 And then you won't have any customers left.
00:14:30.580 Yeah.
00:14:31.000 It's like that.
00:14:31.420 You become to like, you start to defend your brand.
00:14:33.880 Yes.
00:14:34.180 And you got to realize, dude, I'm never wrong.
00:14:36.340 Yeah, exactly.
00:14:37.180 And you got to realize, dude, most people have such shitty experiences everywhere else that
00:14:42.200 they're not used to getting taken care of fast or quick or in a way that they appreciate.
00:14:47.920 They're used to having to fight for that fucking thing or that thing, right?
00:14:52.780 Bro, make it easy.
00:14:54.040 Yeah.
00:14:54.520 Wait, so I got to fight for this fucking thing?
00:14:55.780 Yeah.
00:14:56.200 Be cool.
00:14:57.160 Hey, listen, I understand you're upset.
00:14:58.880 No problem.
00:14:59.360 Let me handle that for you.
00:15:00.620 I'm sorry that happened to you.
00:15:01.860 That shouldn't have happened.
00:15:03.160 You see what I'm saying?
00:15:03.860 Yeah.
00:15:04.260 Yeah.
00:15:04.580 Man, that's so fucking true.
00:15:06.220 Yeah.
00:15:06.500 I call these people now.
00:15:08.460 I'm ready to fight.
00:15:09.260 Yeah.
00:15:09.680 Because that's just...
00:15:10.460 Because that's what we deal with.
00:15:11.480 Yeah.
00:15:11.620 We deal with being on hold for 75 minutes and some fucking lady who doesn't want to be on the phone 1.00
00:15:16.980 with us and doesn't give a shit if we solve our problems. 0.93
00:15:19.480 And that is an opportunity for small business, bro.
00:15:22.680 That's an opportunity for you, the little guy, to do something that people appreciate.
00:15:26.700 Fuck, dude.
00:15:27.520 That's the whole reason we exist is because there's a hole in other companies' ability
00:15:32.080 to service the customer that our companies, whether I'm selling fucking protein powder
00:15:36.660 or tequila or weed or fucking any of the other shit that we sell, we fucking service the customer, 0.88
00:15:43.280 bro, and make them happy.
00:15:44.240 You got to remember, that person is giving you their hard-earned money that they worked
00:15:48.780 their ass off to get.
00:15:50.080 The least you could do is appreciate them for doing so.
00:15:53.420 They have plenty of other options.
00:15:55.160 And most companies don't.
00:15:56.540 So if you can build a company that does actually appreciate people, that's a huge competitive
00:16:01.680 advantage that you're going to have as a little guy that is hard to scale as a big company.
00:16:05.860 I fucking love it, man.
00:16:07.380 I love it.
00:16:07.860 Guys, Andy, let's get to our third and final question.
00:16:11.640 Question number three.
00:16:13.160 Andy, I've started a life insurance agency and I'm working on hiring people, but I don't
00:16:19.360 want to hire just anyone.
00:16:20.540 I want to build a team that is success-driven and willing to continue to grow into amazing,
00:16:26.140 badass people that want to win at a high level like I do.
00:16:30.080 What are some questions I can be asking or points I can be making to make sure people
00:16:35.580 will be a good fit?
00:16:37.060 Any advice on this would be appreciated.
00:16:39.140 What's the pre-screening like?
00:16:40.780 Look, dude, let me give you the fucking whole entire key to hiring quality people.
00:16:47.400 Hire on character.
00:16:48.500 You can teach skill.
00:16:50.580 You can't teach character.
00:16:52.040 So whatever questions you're asking, make the questions about someone's character.
00:16:57.080 Hey, you have to go to your friend's wedding and you're 10 minutes late, but you forgot
00:17:02.960 to get a card.
00:17:03.980 And as you're walking out of the grocery store with the card, you notice a shopping cart out
00:17:09.840 in the middle of the thing.
00:17:10.660 Do you take the time to put it back or do you jump in the car and go here?
00:17:13.820 That'll tell you something about someone.
00:17:15.420 You're at a gas station and you're filling up your tank.
00:17:18.900 And somebody walks up to you and says, hey, man, can I get 20 bucks for a tank of gas?
00:17:24.900 I'm far away from home and I ran out of money.
00:17:28.420 Do you give them the 20 bucks?
00:17:29.780 Do you put the gas on the credit card?
00:17:31.500 Do you tell them to eat shit?
00:17:33.280 What do you do?
00:17:34.380 Okay.
00:17:34.660 And whatever their answer is, which by the way, there's no wrong answer.
00:17:38.900 It will just give you insight to their character.
00:17:41.860 So try to think of questions that will qualify hypothetical situations that we've all faced
00:17:48.000 where people's character will shine through.
00:17:50.480 You see what I'm saying?
00:17:51.180 And then the skill set you could teach, bro.
00:17:53.920 Skills are easy to teach.
00:17:55.540 It's the character that you can't teach.
00:17:57.780 So build your questions.
00:17:59.600 Build your interview process around the character qualities of the human and then learn to teach
00:18:09.320 the skills and you'll be in a great spot.
00:18:11.020 Now, when you get bigger and you start to scale out, you know, to, to, to, let's say you're
00:18:16.180 at nine figures and bigger, you have to start hiring people to have experience and skill.
00:18:20.980 But usually those people have good character because they've been through the journey anyway.
00:18:24.120 And they understand that if you don't have good character, you get kicked off the fucking
00:18:27.260 success tree at some point anyway.
00:18:29.760 So build your interview process around character, build your culture around character, teach skill.
00:18:36.820 That's what you're going to want to do.
00:18:37.840 And I don't remember, uh, what company it was, but there was like the, the parking lot
00:18:43.220 test, like looking in that person's car.
00:18:46.300 Oh, that's me.
00:18:47.100 I tell you.
00:18:47.660 Okay.
00:18:47.680 Fuck.
00:18:47.940 Yeah.
00:18:48.340 No, I'm not even playing like that.
00:18:49.960 That's real.
00:18:50.500 No, dude.
00:18:50.880 Listen, when, when, when, when we used to interview people, it would be me and Jason and we'd sit
00:18:57.420 in the interview.
00:18:58.240 And while we were sitting in the interview with the person, one of us would get up and walk
00:19:02.060 outside and look inside the person's car.
00:19:04.260 Okay.
00:19:04.620 And the reason we did that was we're going to see is their car fucking full of trash.
00:19:09.240 Is their car totally clean?
00:19:11.440 What kind of car are they driving?
00:19:12.720 Is it fucking beat to shit?
00:19:14.180 Does it have fucking dents on the front, the back, the side?
00:19:18.600 You can tell a lot by someone's car.
00:19:20.860 Okay.
00:19:22.040 Mainly like, do they pay attention to details?
00:19:25.560 And so that's what we would do.
00:19:27.140 And it usually worked out.
00:19:29.400 If we ever made an exception, say, yeah, that guy's car is kind of dirty.
00:19:32.360 That motherfucker was dirty in the office and he didn't pay attention to details. 0.99
00:19:35.960 So, uh, yeah, there's all kinds of little things that you can do like that.
00:19:39.680 And there's all kinds of books and articles and YouTube videos that you can watch on trying
00:19:43.440 to hire.
00:19:43.800 But just remember, a lot of those are built, built around attracting people with skill.
00:19:47.880 And if you're trying to build a culture, uh, that you're going to enjoy, that everybody's
00:19:52.200 going to enjoy, you got to hire on character and then teach skill.
00:19:54.960 Yeah.
00:19:55.460 I love that.
00:19:56.300 The parking lot assessment.
00:19:57.280 I love that because I also feel too, and like everybody knows this, you know, when you're
00:20:01.340 going to get a job, like you're going to put your best fucking face on. 0.87
00:20:04.600 Correct.
00:20:04.900 You know what I'm saying?
00:20:05.220 So that's like, that's a hard thing I'd imagine to have to fucking like filter in
00:20:09.400 and out, like, you know, because they're going to give you the best fucking self up 0.86
00:20:12.440 front.
00:20:12.860 Yeah.
00:20:13.240 Best clothes.
00:20:13.960 Yeah.
00:20:14.060 So you got to look where they're not looking.
00:20:15.580 Right.
00:20:16.060 You know what I'm saying?
00:20:16.620 Right.
00:20:16.820 Let them go to the bathroom. 1.00
00:20:17.880 Go check the bathroom after they do that. 1.00
00:20:19.060 Yeah, exactly.
00:20:19.700 Yeah.
00:20:19.980 Exactly.
00:20:21.300 Exactly.
00:20:21.780 I love it.
00:20:22.360 Yeah.
00:20:22.640 So dude, look, pay attention to the character, teach the skills, look where they're not looking
00:20:29.240 to see what they really are.
00:20:30.880 What's their social like?
00:20:31.920 Are they on social bitching about their old job?
00:20:34.540 Don't hire them. 1.00
00:20:35.140 Yeah, exactly.
00:20:35.960 Okay.
00:20:36.360 Because they're going to bitch about you. 1.00
00:20:38.160 You know what's funny?
00:20:39.320 Employees don't fucking get that.
00:20:41.140 They don't understand that.
00:20:42.360 Like when you go on the internet and cry about your old job, anybody who's considering working
00:20:46.720 with you in the future is going to be like, bro, fuck this guy. 0.92
00:20:49.820 Like, remember that.
00:20:52.700 Yeah.
00:20:52.920 Because they're going to feel like they're going to have to walk on eggshells.
00:20:54.680 Yeah.
00:20:55.000 It eliminates your ability to be employed with other companies later.
00:20:58.460 And people don't think like this.
00:20:59.420 That's just messy too, bro.
00:21:00.380 Bro.
00:21:00.600 And companies will dig.
00:21:02.120 They will go all the way back on your Twitter.
00:21:03.660 All the way.
00:21:04.460 They will go all the way back on your Instagram and Facebook.
00:21:06.260 They're making an investment in you.
00:21:08.080 They're making a fucking, the time and the money and the time to teach and bring you
00:21:13.120 up to speed.
00:21:14.000 Listen, man, people don't want to waste that time and that energy.
00:21:17.740 So they're going to look.
00:21:20.300 So have your shit together.
00:21:21.540 Yeah.
00:21:21.780 Make sure it's nice when they do.
00:21:23.240 I love it, man.
00:21:23.980 Well, guys, that was three.
00:21:25.200 All right, guys.
00:21:25.900 Nice little Saturday.
00:21:27.340 I'm going to go to Home Depot and maybe HomeGoods.
00:21:29.380 And no, I'm not.
00:21:32.700 All right, guys.
00:21:33.400 I love you guys.
00:21:34.300 We'll see you on Monday.
00:21:35.140 We'll see you on Monday.
