00:00:00.000 Jason Kidd, we did a story on this guy a week and a half ago.
00:00:03.020 Not that Jason Kidd.
00:00:04.120 It's the Chipotle COO, Jason Kidd.
00:00:05.880 Apparently, they've hired a PR firm, and his name is everywhere lately.
00:00:09.300 Former Taco Bell executive spends his days taste-testing food
00:00:14.200 and visiting locations weekly, a role he calls his dream job.
00:00:18.300 His advice for finding yours, don't wait for the perfect opportunity.
00:00:22.440 Just say yes.
00:00:23.940 Even to jobs that don't sound easy or exciting,
00:00:26.460 do the job that someone else doesn't want to do, he said.
00:00:30.000 Take the opportunity, move, be uncomfortable.
00:00:33.140 Early in his career, Kidd volunteered for management training programs that involved 4 a.m. closing and overnight shifts while peers worked mid-shift.
00:00:43.580 He finished faster and was promoted fast first, not because he was the smartest, but because he gained the most experience the fastest.
00:00:51.800 And saw how every part of the operation worked.
00:00:54.380 Kidd also stresses strong communication with the start, saying owning outcomes and giving good feedback is one of the four traits he looks for when promoting workers.
00:01:04.280 So I'll give you a story.
00:01:06.180 I used to work at Valley Total Fitness for a guy named Robbie Solomon.
00:01:09.240 I know his number till today.
00:01:11.340 I can recite his name.
00:01:12.260 I'm not going to give it.
00:01:12.880 Well, imagine if I tell people, go text Robbie real quick.
00:01:15.580 Robbie, photos start blowing up.
00:01:17.280 He gets 7,000 text messages.
00:01:19.700 And I left Bally's, and I went to start my own startup, technology company.
00:01:25.080 We were selling personal profit portals, and I was doing that for about a year.
00:01:29.020 Well, guess what?
00:01:29.480 A year later, I'm in debt $49,000.
00:01:31.460 I lose everything.
00:01:32.880 And I come back, and I say, Robbie, I need a job.
