It was founded by a guy named colin west who is a diver and a filmmaker. The ultimate cost of this endeavor is two hundred and fifty thousand dollars on that i dive.

I'm down with that and that goes viral opened up a gift. Yes a package inside. It's something exciting. I'm down with all right. Anything else in the news. Chris or is there any ghostbusters news. 'cause i've been wanting ghostbusters. News related latest ghostbusters. I've heard that. I don't know i jason reitman Apparently has had a screening for ernie hudson and ernie hudson gives it his thumbs up nice. It's more approved. I heard that what's his name was kind of upset a little bit. But he says the movies can be good like the original I just completely space his name. I'm losing it. Mr garfield murray. Murray bill murray. Yeah i had not heard. He said that he was one of the most grueling experiences while making this film because a lot of physical demands on it but he says the it was like a little extreme. He was just getting sick of it. So that's why it was mad but he says it's going to pan out and be one of the best or take it back to that original ghostbusters. Quality said we still. We're on the look. Look out if anyone in the comments section knows where to find the ghostbuster cereal yes. We are on the lookout for that. Yes we want that serial like we had the two one so that means i'm on the sour patch kids website and now the woman. It's all these food items. We need to swing. How kevin. Smith's do we have any kevin smith news because i was gonna check in on his movies burgers thing and see how that's going because i've noticed a lot of you have of started their own burger chain and i'm like it's knees joined the fad. I know he did. I just wanna to see if it's still successful. i'm. I'm kind of bitter. Because i've had multiple people in aim cities that have hosted a movies pop up shop. Tell me that they are going to find me from slag from the shop and then just gross me and not follow through. So i'm kinda mad if there's a kevin smith movies proper coming to your plan. You're willing to pick something up for me. Let me know But i guess the big kevin smith related news. This week is that. He's releasing his next film. Kilroy was here as an nf t so. If you got burke. French branches the money you can buy the new kevin smith film and control destiny. That'd be great as an nfc one. Can you put it in theaters. Can you do whatever you want with it. I think you basically if you buy it. You own distribution right so you can keep it. Watch it yourself. Never watch it probably coast from private watching cartoons at your house or put it out there for the world to see and make money off knows that tang album that was bought by that idiot pharmaceutical kid. I think that's kind of how this all started. I wanna say. I feel like that's the genesis. Nfc thing where it's just like one here. It is a good one person zones with one thing as opposed to mass produce other things. Yeah yeah. That's what i'm trying for may my merch and actually like i need needed check on chris crocker in see who who bought it and how much it sold for. Because chris crocker sold the leave britney alone clip and it was that twenty four hours. Yeah let me check on that so pay. Hey chris are. You signed up for the movies like the email lists soon to where they let you know like what cities and stuff because i'm on the website and it says if you sign up for the mailing list the mailing list for the accessed know we're movies is going because right now just says saint louis and boston and austin austin okay after some friends out there. Maybe i can take another swing at okay. Okay so i can get the info. Because i don't know i i saw. I don't remember their youtube names. But there's these two kids that basically just like they do a pop up and they have a line all day of cards in every single car that comes through they give them a thousand bucks cash. Like they're throw those the beasts.

First flight of Mars helicopter Ingenuity to make test hover
"Oh, NASA is opening the big hoping to make history tomorrow by flying a helicopter on Mars. CBS is Allison Keyes has more on the tiny but mighty ingenuity. It's incredible. NASA Mars Exploration Program director Eric I. Anson says. The ingenuity Mars helicopter test flight Sunday is the first attempt at controlled powered flight on another planet, and that means challenges. We're dealing with an atmosphere that About 1% the density of that on earth. That means the £4 shopper has to spend our blades much faster than she would need to want Terra, And there is some good news about the difference in the planet's. The gravity on Mars is only one third of Earth's The first test flight involved ingenuity, lifting off, climbing to about 10 ft.

Owner of a fly-fishing lodge worries about fracking
"Way fell in runs. A fly fishing lodge near montana's big hole river an area renowned for the sport southwest. Montana is an incredible place to go fishing and keeping it that way depends on clean abundant water so in addition to running the lodge felon is the program director for upper missouri waterkeeper. The nonprofit works to prevent pollution and water shortages in montana's missouri river basin which includes the big hole river. One of their campaigns seeks to prevent fracking a method of gas drilling. That uses a great deal of water and sometimes contaminates waterways. This is the wrong place for fracking. We're talking about a very fragile ecosystem as it is. We're talking about spawning beds for brown trout and rainbow and cutthroat and greyling being affected and then a community that's really supported by the health of a river system ranching community and a fly fishing unity. The organization helped delay to proposals to lease more than ten thousand acres of public land for oil and gas development near the big hole. River felon says the goal is not only to protect the fish but to protect the livelihoods that depend on fresh clean water in southern montana.
DNA Today
Barbara Fortini on Genomic Data Analytics
"Hello you're listening to dna today or watching your on youtube. We are genetics. Podcast and radio. Show i'm your host cured mean. I am also a certified genetic counselor practicing in the prenatal space so on this show explorer genetics impact on our health through conversations leaders in genetics. Today we have someone from kgi. She's the program director for the masters of science in their human genetics and genomic data analytics program. Her name is dr barbara for teeny so again. She's from the keck graduate institute. She also teaches their masters of science for genetic counseling students. So thank you so much for coming on the show today. Thank you so much for having me. So we're gonna be diving into talking about career options outside of genetic counseling. Which is maybe a shock for some people because we talk about genetic counseling so much on the show. We need to widen the scope a little bit. So we're going to be focusing on genomic data analytics. So can you give us a sense of what this field is for people that have never heard of this before sure and i hope no one's ever heard of it before because we just kind of had to make up a name a few years ago when we went to start this program. A genetic. Counseling is very visible patient facing side of the genetics medical system. But between when genetic counselor gets a test result and goes to tell a patient whether it and what it means for their family there are a lot of people that help generate that results from the companies who are designing the genetic tests in deciding. What gene's gone panels to the actual scientists who are interpreting results to write a report that puts it all into perspective and even further back to the researchers who are discovering the gene disease connections. That then we can use to help support our patients and so from all of those levels from the basic science of what's going on to the practical matter of getting results that can be delivered to a patient. there are scientists working at every step of that process. So there's so much in genetics. I think as we were talking a little bit before we started recording here that people are probably familiar with janet counselors if they listen to this show before tuning and now they've probably heard of people working on the bench so wet lab and actually being a researcher and hearing about doctors and nurses. But there's this whole other side of genetics that you're talking about a figuring out all of the testing and figuring out what is as you set included on panels. We find genetic change. What does that change mean in coming up with all this information and so one of the buzzwords around this and even outside of healthcare is big data. So can you break down. What big data is and you know for focusing on the genetic side. I think big data means a lot of different things to a lot of people. I think there are two main aspects of big data in genetics. The first is the big data on a person scale. So for any person we can look at their whole genome sequence. So that's the massive amount of instructions that are in every cell and then you can even add on top of that like testing results. Mri results fina types. And so trying to integrate that into a picture of what's going on inside. A person involves a lot of data manipulation on the other side. we have the population scale. We have whole genome sequencing for the population which were trying to do with the all of us program but we also have gino typing data which is just looking at a selection of places in the genome so we can do that a lot easier. So we've done it on a lot more people and then using that to understand the population not makes one person sick but what makes some people sick versus others and so both of those scales use genetic data in different ways and i think the one thing that really brings together. The buzzword of big data is just the fact that you cannot analyze it by hand. There's not one person sitting there looking at gel and saying like okay. This is what's going on. You have to us by our maddix tools. You have to maybe use a i help. See things that human pattern recognition can't see. And so it's using the tools to understand the data in a way that kind of transcends what we used to be able to do by just looking at you know maybe sequencing one gene or even doing just like restriction fragment polymorphisms. You know that you could interpret on a scale of researchers looking at one piece of data these days. We have just huge data files. Some of the we can't even open on a standard computer. But we try to use. All that information to distill that down to something actionable for a patient
The Paul Finebaum Show
Former Producer and Program Director at WJOX, Pat Smith, Reminisces About the Show's Infancy
"Pat is The program director. W j. o. x. and of course he He's part of the global system trouble. I'm as i've assisted. Pd in co host. Because our good friend ryan heins program. I i'm always thinking. I had but i apologize but i'm always trying to to do things that i'm not supposed to be doing but it's really good to have you those days. I wanna i wanna go back. Because i ended up moving to a station where you. I think you were an intern But it wasn't too long after that that that you became a producer on the program. And i'm gonna let you kind of tell the story of how all of that ended up to where we are. Now oh wow Kind of a cliff. Notes version Basically like you said you're at another radio station. I think your contract had had come up and and you had Looked elsewhere and i happened to be at a news. Talk station which the sports talk. Show followed rush limbaugh's program and all the sudden you showed up Along with bob walked me at the radio station on that On that fateful I think it was a friday night after had done a show and then Just so happens. You guys came on the air on monday. I happened to be at the right place at the right time. And i was finishing up school at uab. And and you know you. And i developed a quick relationship and and decided from that point in time to kind of try to take the show to the next level and a few years later were able to get syndicated throughout the state of alabama and then mayor obviously sirius xm and then ultimately espn and where you are today at the sec network so just very blessed to be part of it from day one. I want to go back to that moment. Where we were on the affiliate in we are on the station in birmingham. And and you really started thinking You know bigger picture. I i was. I was at the time doing local television. I was still riding a newspaper on. So i i wasn't that the forward thinking but You thought to show could go beyond that area and what was so interesting about it. Is that once. it did There were a lot of people that that thought. Your idea was was insane. Now you're right You know it's so hard and difficult to tell people about this. Because i remember paul when the fax machine became you know a prevalent thing and offices and i never forget when we started getting stuff backs to us like before you came to the radio station because typically you would either be at the newspaper finishing up a column ridgetop by tv station. Then he committed the radio show and people around the south east would be faxing us newspaper articles because we didn't have internet internet was not invented yet. And so it was fascinating for us to be able to to get information from outside of the state of alabama and so that kind of up some different topics that we could do on the show and the one that started thinking. Well you know what you know. People outside of birmingham. We're on a five. Thousand watt am radio station and more people need to hear this program because we're inundated by voicemails and people you know would communicate with us anyway. They could until it's how much they love the show and more and more of the show and so at the time was able to go to to management and and pitch the idea of potentially getting on a few stations in the state of alabama. And that just kind of steamrolled and for many many years we kept adding stations and at one point we had. I believe in the mid thirties before we got on sirius. Xm so it was just a it was a great time in radio and we were very fortunate to have the people that believed in us. Just like you believed in the idea. So it will. And i'm gonna come back to some of the early stories but but i think for i want you to comment on this. I'll never forget. I was in pasadena We're actually newport together for the rose bowl national championship game between alabama and texas. And because i think a an illness in your family with I think your wife's mother or something you weren't able to make the trip and called me out there and you told me that You had gotten a call from somebody at sirius. Xm and i really. I thought you were kidding Because they wanted to run the show as a regular in an in an afternoon time slot in. And i want you to go back to that moment because there was a buzz around our Our crew at the time. And we you know. We have a fairly big crew now because of television and radio. I don't know if even matches the number of people that you had working with that particular moment in time. Because they were they were producers. They were Exa- they were assistant producer. They're dedicated phone. Screeners that That had their own contracts. But i did but i mean would you would. You agree That was the moment that things really started to change. No there's no question about that. And i'm glad that you wanted me to tell about this out of the story because i thought you were going to publicly remained me again for putting you outside the rose bowl at a outside party music. Play okay No no i was. I got i gotta call the blue Someone that are not you know. Never heard of before and they just said you know we'd love to show We want to talk to you about this show going. You know. Nationwide siriusxm You guys be interested in that. And i are you kidding me absolutely and then i remember calling you in pasadena and said you'll never believe this phone call and of course a lot of times like you would whether i'd call you and say hey. We got this coach on today or we got this happening today or whatever the case may be you know you a would you know i can picture you rolling your eyes going. Yeah whatever you know but then it finally sunk in it. You know. Once i told you exactly the full conversation and i think at that point in time you realized that we had we had a bigger entity on our hands than we thought. We did back then

They have to come in now and then report to all of the different Divisions within the radio family here at the station to make sure that when the spot is done when the spot is completed, and then his aired, and then it's logged, and then it's you know, it's quite a coordinated effort. And you know, all jobs here are important. There's no question about it. But the revenue generation from sales is the one that keeps the station on the air or commercial radio station. We don't rely on public funding or anything from the you know. Government or anything. We really are the ones that have to put the station on the air and keep it current so that you know the program that you've been able to enjoy over the years decades. Continues, and that's why right now we do have some radio sales positions that are open that we can talk about, as far as you know how to become part of that, And it's interesting becoming part of the wcbm sales team. You work as a group. You work very closely with the general sales manager Wcbm. Also we have multiple account executives and you guys would work together. Everything is a team effort here. Absolutely at the team effort is very key. We're not one of these people that we're good organizations that have Hierarchies. You know if you need something to be looked at a reviewed, you know, there's many people here in the sales and also management that look it over with experience levels that you know vary from. I've been here myself this October, and 2021 will be 30 years. So it's one of these things that you know I can look at. Some proposals or help with proposals. If we have to meet the client. If we got to go out and have special aspects to a sale, then you know we're more than willing to do that. So the first thing you have to do as being part of the wcbm sales famous prospect Right talking about prospecting just for a second. So prospect can take many. You know, areas you know, Prospecting now has changed when I started because, you know, we did it some of the old fashioned way when newspapers were still viable, all right, And you know you'd get your leads from newspaper ads or you kitchen leads from magazines or outdoor or other radio stations, which still happens. Like you know, Now it's the digital aspect of lead generation. Also, you know, as far as how other advertising areas are being used, you know it's a whole new world as far as lead generation as as well as the ones that we were mentioning that are still there. Like they're they're not just the only ones nowadays, so it has to deal with being able to go out and find him and find out what niche that you'd be able to put on this radio station and then make that client work. The biggest aspect is to find. You know what does the prospect when you're going after would benefit from advertising on this station? There's really several key areas that Wcbm really does very well in Threat response. It's home improvement. It's financial. It's retirement and its medical supplies. I mean, these were really top categories within the station that have done very, very well. So your prospect, And then once you Ah line up appointments from that prospecting, and that's when all the fun begins. Where you get out. You talk to the potential client and we'll talk more about that. But we're going to take a take a quick.

I was shooting heroin and other substances saw and renew sleep and of course that brought a lot of legal problems and now jail lots of treatment and i was raised in texas dallas texas and i went through fourteen different treatment programs throughout my life and continued really struggle in and out of jail in and out of programs so the age of thirty actually twenty nine years old is when i finally got it together and for me rui. I realized later that i needed. I needed more than just. The normal substance use treatment. I needed a life. Overall are some point hind landed in. Hawaii ended up in trouble ear in jail and eventually ended up in the village. And i kind of took to habilitates philosophy like a duck. They helped me find a passion. Nail figure out who i was and on the final i had a knack for helping other people. They put me through a lot of training. They sent me to school to learn about a substance use treatment and administration and things like that and eventually i became the program. Director for tat. And i did that job for about sixteen years. I was very blessed. I was trained but actually the last person that was trained by the people who founded the program unfortunately our founder any marino us. Since passed away. But i was very blessed to be trained by heaven his wife and then i did the program director of the program for about sixty years and the ultimate two thousand fifteen.

I mean. that's really like someone who is trying to get help ya. Well i think to me jimmy rule honest. I think my family wanted me to get a lot more than i really. Did you know. I had a lot of people i mean i have some childhood traumas that were unresolved goes very angry. Disenfranchised with life you know the family was dysfunctional. Common themes wait was substance abuse on trying and trying really. It was when i got to be a little bit older and how to jail and withdraw in jail and watching life pass me by and to get a little bit more motivated like i need to give together. This is not fine. I was actually of a lengthy prison sentence that i was facing drums now for for drug for drug possession. That's what prompted me to trying. Really dig down deep and try and overcome all these issues until you know certainly wasn't fixed a thirty day curated took me a few years therapy Few years of mentorship but there was a it. Sounds like there was a change in you where you said. Okay i gotta dig deeper here. Something's gotta be different. I can't keep going like this really crazy to say i was on about ninety milligrams of methadone back in the nineties. And i i went to jail overstated. They didn't give me the doses. Methadone so i ended up withdrawing older. Eat from both methadone in heroin on the floor. Wow jail and it was a newsroom experience. I mean it a really miserable experience you know. It was in that fog than i decided. you know. this isn't fun anymore. And you know i mean most of the reason that i was using drugs to escape age of of that i created for myself really but it was a coping skill. Drug use was a coping skill. Not not a very resourceful coping skill but it was yulong and you know the payable. That really made me decide that. I needed to try something else. I was very blessed. Because i i was in jail here in hawaii. And there's a program here old milita which is known as the long hard core long-term aren't or program and the you know. The word on the street was that if you really wanna get your act together. That's the place that you go. And i didn't have anything to lose. That's for sure. So i reached out to them in jail and call them. They came to visit me in jail in a few weeks later. They got me into the program so they are able to to take you in and you really wanted to to get some treatment. It sounds like you were kind of ready at that point. Yeah find the right place in the right place mentally and emotionally that i knew something had to change about jails institutions and death while i was facing all that and it became very apparent to me that the gig was up and it was time to make a change are the only alternative was either gonna die or overdose. Several times nearly died but is facing lindsay incarceration because of by drug use.

The Leadership Trap
"program director" Discussed on The Leadership Trap
"Have suppliers I have a number of people that My making a personal emotional decision for in my number two would risk those stakeholders. i think. That's a very simple decision for me. However i think the trick is not what it's how and so. I think how that would be done would be really important and i would work. Really hard to negotiate with that investor of how we find a new opportunity for that number to either in the company or outside the company to make it less painful for that number two. And if need be i'll tell you for me personally i would sacrifice some of my personal opportu your interests including salary if i needed to to help that number to get a safe landing Because i think i would personally have an obligation to my number two. But i think as a leader i have a moral obligation to the major stakeholders which are the employees the customers and the suppliers and my other investors and And that's really what would drive my decision again. It's the this how is ax. Import important than the white. And you know I'll talk to a real situation. You know when. I came back to the comp. We had Another round of funding and one of the business the In a term sheet was they wanted us to reduce the headcount. Get this round of the lowest certain number by the end of the year december tenth and i absolutely refused to lay off people at christmas break to the point that it got to exactly what you said david. I had to make the decision of you know where. Where am i wear my moral compass or what. It came down to as i said you know what if that's what you insist on doing. You need another ceo. Because i'm not gonna do it. i will. I refuse to do that. I will step away from the company right now and let the board appoints somebody else to do that because i will do it. And the other board members and investors pushed on the late around ones and they allowed us to move it to the first of the year and we did it in a right. After the first year we are not going to ruin people's holidays and much more importantly do it in a period where they couldn't even have chance of finding opportunity And again we talked about the. How if you remember. We put a lot of work in making sure that we found an outsourcing firm. We used our Our contacts try to get people's jobs people jobs and when we actually got the ability to hire back we went to the people that weren't rehired. That was first place. We went to to bring people back in the company that was matter of fact we had a vp that gave me a wreck for a job when we first opened back hiring and i said what about the people on the list he goes. Oh we have an opportunity here to level the position. I said the people that were here till the end were great people. We're going to hire back off the list. And and he did and honestly that was probably the best of emotional capital. I could've invested in the company because people really that that word got around people appreciate it. So i think moral dilemma. You posed his real. But i think is a very simple answer. Which is you have to think about your role. And the stakeholders you are morally obligated to and determine whether you're making decisions on behalf of your moral obligation to the stakeholders or your personal obligation to an individual. Yeah that's a great anecdote also to wrap up on. There is a shining glaring. Light on senior leadership especially they. Sometimes they need to be reminded by others like their mentors or someone in my capacity. Who's looking at the human capital side of things. People watch you very closely. It is exhausting. You knew that because you have enough empathy within you that you will do the things that you just described. And people recognize that. And that's why they would bend over backwards to stick it out. Because you brought humanity and a sense of genuine interest in the lively hoods People and it's amazing as a result of that. That's just not a nice. Do good thing but people will They'll bring their creative best. They'll take risks. You get better ideas right because they realize you're going to advocate for them so they can make some mistakes and come in with their while. S idea because you're going to give them roam to do that. So i've i've really come to respect You take it. I respect chris to Because i've seen yet action do. Just these sorts of things you balanced. The hard needs of running the business with the interest of Creating a human space for people to to thrive it. So i applaud you for that will. Thanks david i appreciate. I think i've just been fortunate to have worked for really great leaders that That i was able to to learn from and tried to to mimic. Yeah and now your tenure professors so you can lax and you can throw the junior ship back in the face of other. Say listen same whatever you want. But i attend your. I'm no longer pretend academic. I'm real conducted. The you have earned your stripes. Thank you david. L. are having you on the show tonight. We're real real pleasure to get your lessons. Learned in hopefully the listeners of learned quite a bit that they can take away as well. Thanks chris i appreciate the opportunity. This was really fun and it's always great to spend time with david other at a lot from him as well. We don't give him enough credit but he he had battery around and educate me quite a bit early on in my career as a ceo. Saw really appreciate being able to do this. But there's a lot of fun yes thanks. Thanks for listening. You know a leader who could benefit from hearing about the leadership trap but we hope you will share this podcast with them and remembered.

The Leadership Trap
"program director" Discussed on The Leadership Trap
"So i. I thought that was pretty good. I also think it depends on where you were. It does matter what company you're at it depends on where you are. On the organization. Motorola was a top ten employer. When i was there in the early nineties and i know guarded have regarded but depending on where you are in the organization. You know you could be in one sector where it was a really great place to work in another sector. Where was horrible place to work. Because the bigger the organization is the more you're going to have managers have different skill sets but Yeah my experience was i. Thank god for the opportunity to work at dell and work around those people. Every day the lessons. I learned what one thing i've observed from seeing that as organization. Start to grow as it. You might have a culture starts out where a set of core values. The you talk about ready. You described down there. A set of values and high expectations and your other people didn't hold their way. We didn't hang around but as organizations grow if the values don't carry through. I think what you get our people to start mimicking those behaviors and becomes more of a caricature and the net character then starts to instill the bad heart of what we see in some of these big companies were then other just being a jerk. But they're really just trying to mimic what they saw in somebody else. It's really just being tough. I grew that chris. You just triggered it when you said that i think what are the other leadership traps. Is you set those core cultures in if you aren't managing them as a leader throughout your organization all the time the telephone game happens and those mimic irs rewrite those core values in a way that self-serving for them. I'll give you a great example. When i went to compaq in the eighties. Compact is again not that big. A company was growing like crazy. It was about consensus management and consensus. Management was a rod canyon thing. It didn't mean at the time that everybody got a vote emitted. Everybody had input. There was still a decider. By the time i laughed. Consensus management had been reconfigured by middle managers to be. I can stop anything. Because i don't agree and i think one of the problems that the leadership did was they didn't go back in and recalibrate and say that's not what consensus management is and they let that go too far and what happened was product. Scott developed that were team developed instead of being developed by the architects. Or whatever is my impression of being there. We just lost edge Because we trying to get everybody to vote for the right product. We saw this adult to motion to Where we got to that point there was. There was a period where i left to go back to school of the ceo. We had when we started that. I brought on To run the company really wanted much more of a consensus than i had had. I did have. I had the old compaq version of consensus. Which was everybody gets say but at the end of the day. I'll be the decider if we don't get everybody to agree. Matter of fact. I would say to people. I'd say to my to our leaders. I'd say look. If you guys have a disagreement you go work it out with each other. If you can't work it out then come to me. And i promise you i will make a decision whether or not one of you like it or not. We'll be different so you're better off figuring it out yourself but what happened when i was gone was it became more of the traditional of the later stage consensus where anybody could stop and what ended up happening was there were compromises made on features on components on policies. And when i went back in there you know there are things that we did to go back to okay. We decisions were taken forever to be done. We had a thing called The the pdp the product development docs practical plan that we weren't supposed to do products until they got signed off. We were head products. Were coming out of the factory that they never signed off because they could never get agreement and that to me is an example of yup core values. The leaders have to reinforce them. But you gotta be leader gotta be willing to say okay. You get ten more minutes if you can make decisions. Come see me. I'm going to decide and you're all going to live with that. And those are the kind of things that i see a big a big trap that letter stage whether small company or a big. I see in the universities to you see it with. Yeah they want everybody to be happy and they confused happiness with everybody gets a vote and actually happiness is. Everybody gets to say and a decision is made because it's worse to not have a decision have habit decision that people got input in but they don't necessarily agree with having leaders. Underestimate how subtle. Those changes are. I would several. I've i don't know. If i can name one leader that i would say was exceptional at recognizing it and swiftly stepping in and addressing it. We just don't do it until it's too late. And they start to see revenue fall and things started to turn well. And i think one of the reasons that happens. Is that something. That's really bizarre. That happens when you become a leader of an organization is there's a level that gets you know that that gets created just naturally underneath you of people that you turn to to get insights and you start to lose vision. Below the waterline. And i noticed that when came back in and david can attest to this. One of the things that i did to try to get through that was. I'm terrible athlete. But i started playing basketball two days a week on the back deck with the employees senate. Was we test engineers. We had sales support people we had developers and the rule was when i was on the court. You could hack me all you wanted. There was no no titles. I learn more about was really going on the company from the basketball games than i did from the executive meetings because people would talk. They wouldn't be talking to me to be talking to each other. They'd be complaining about this decision complaining about that direction. I was like oh okay well now. I know it's really going on. So i think leaders have to find out how they dig down and get organically. What's going on and and i would say one of the cons is allowed to do. I'm going to a brown bag lunch with my employees. I've done this at the university. But i find is. I don't get the same kind of information from abroad Brown bag lunch. That i do when i play basketball. Yeah this is a bit too staged. yeah isn't it. yeah upon reflection dave. Would you have done anything different or more purposeful when you were growing your leadership team to make it more diverse in every way why. That's a great question david. Well i think given. I mean you know if you look at our team in the early days. It wasn't as diverse because Even though it was not all men it was mostly men But in the later stages of the company majority we had a good really good mix of. There's a gender mixed for sure.
