3 Things We Learned From This Episode
Know what daily success looks like (02:42 - 02:58)
At the beginning of every single day, we must be clear about what makes that day a win and make sure that when the day ends, we can check a box that says “I won the day today because I completed that thing.”
Integrate being focused and goal oriented with being people-centric

There’s no need to roll the dice on potential talent (15:27 - 17:49)

Yet the very nature of “potential talent” means they’re going to fail their way to learning. This can put a lot of strain on our business.
People with a proven track record of success may be more expensive, but the more clear we are about where we're going, and the better we can articulate it the cheaper it becomes to hire them. Some of the most proven, experienced people are willing to take massive steps backwards because they believe in us, our dream, where we’re going and what we’re willing to do to get there.
