1

00:00:11,644 --> 00:00:12,045

Hello.

 

2

00:00:12,045 --> 00:00:12,512

Welcome to

 

3

00:00:12,512 --> 00:00:14,114

another happy episode of On the Floor

 

4

00:00:14,114 --> 00:00:15,015

with Wayne and Rob.

 

5

00:00:15,015 --> 00:00:15,682

I'm Wayne Highlander,

 

6

00:00:15,682 --> 00:00:16,950

National Sales Manager

 

7

00:00:16,950 --> 00:00:17,851

for Bona Adhesives.

 

8

00:00:17,851 --> 00:00:18,985

I am Rob happy

 

9

00:00:18,985 --> 00:00:21,454

Johnson from Bona Training.

 

10

00:00:21,454 --> 00:00:23,089

You look fantastic today, Rob.

 

11

00:00:23,089 --> 00:00:23,957

Hey, you know you know what?

 

12

00:00:23,957 --> 00:00:26,426

I'm feeling good too, man. You look good.

 

13

00:00:26,426 --> 00:00:28,261

Thank you. You look good.

 

14

00:00:28,261 --> 00:00:30,030

Yes, sir. A little color.

 

15

00:00:30,030 --> 00:00:30,630

Yeah.

 

16

00:00:30,630 --> 00:00:31,631

Mm hmm.

 

17

00:00:33,500 --> 00:00:34,501

Well, Rob.

 

18

00:00:34,501 --> 00:00:35,035

Well.

 

19

00:00:35,635 --> 00:00:36,669

Did you work?

 

20

00:00:36,669 --> 00:00:38,238

Do you happen to watch the

 

21

00:00:38,238 --> 00:00:40,106

hockey game yesterday?

 

22

00:00:40,106 --> 00:00:42,308

I don't watch hockey, Rob.

 

23

00:00:42,308 --> 00:00:44,577

Well, yesterday was the national one.

 

24

00:00:44,577 --> 00:00:45,478

You know, once a year,

 

25

00:00:45,478 --> 00:00:47,647

they do the big outdoor game.

 

26

00:00:47,647 --> 00:00:49,215

Winter Classic.

 

27

00:00:49,215 --> 00:00:49,883

Yeah.

 

28

00:00:50,050 --> 00:00:52,986

Featuring my Boston Bruins and

 

29

00:00:52,986 --> 00:00:54,721

and Greg Bethune's.

 

30

00:00:54,721 --> 00:00:56,189

Pittsburgh Penguins.

 

31

00:00:56,189 --> 00:00:57,424

OK, no, he knows Greg.

 

32

00:00:57,424 --> 00:00:57,991

Yeah.

 

33

00:01:00,226 --> 00:01:02,629

Everybody knows Greg.

 

34

00:01:03,196 --> 00:01:03,863

Did him?

 

35

00:01:03,863 --> 00:01:05,331

Greg has been with Bono now

 

36

00:01:05,331 --> 00:01:06,800

for 110 years.

 

37

00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:08,368

Everybody knows Greg.

 

38

00:01:08,368 --> 00:01:10,470

OK, everybody knows him.

 

39

00:01:10,937 --> 00:01:11,704

All right.

 

40

00:01:14,140 --> 00:01:14,674

How was it?

 

41

00:01:14,674 --> 00:01:16,342

Was it a good game?

 

42

00:01:16,843 --> 00:01:17,343

Well, I'm

 

43

00:01:17,343 --> 00:01:19,979

going to be brutally honest here.

 

44

00:01:19,979 --> 00:01:23,049

The first two periods sucked

 

45

00:01:23,049 --> 00:01:24,918

it was Lake

 

46

00:01:26,586 --> 00:01:27,053

It was like

 

47

00:01:27,053 --> 00:01:28,088

they didn't know

 

48

00:01:28,088 --> 00:01:30,690

they were in a real hockey game.

 

49

00:01:30,690 --> 00:01:31,758

You know, it was outdoors.

 

50

00:01:31,758 --> 00:01:34,094

They played it at Fenway Park.

 

51

00:01:34,094 --> 00:01:36,429

It was outdoors.

 

52

00:01:36,663 --> 00:01:38,098

And it's like I said, it's

 

53

00:01:38,098 --> 00:01:39,899

big national game. Right.

 

54

00:01:39,899 --> 00:01:42,268

So they had their families there.

 

55

00:01:42,268 --> 00:01:42,902

And, you know,

 

56

00:01:42,902 --> 00:01:44,838

it's outside and it's Fenway

 

57

00:01:44,838 --> 00:01:47,173

and they dress like baseball players

 

58

00:01:47,173 --> 00:01:48,208

before the game started.

 

59

00:01:48,208 --> 00:01:49,309

I mean, it was

 

60

00:01:49,309 --> 00:01:50,844

it was quite the production.

 

61

00:01:50,844 --> 00:01:54,080

OK, Bobby, your came out and Jason,

 

62

00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:54,981

their tech

 

63

00:01:54,981 --> 00:01:56,483

you know, the old catcher for the Red Sox

 

64

00:01:56,483 --> 00:01:57,317

won a couple worlds there.

 

65

00:01:57,317 --> 00:01:58,418

So it was great.

 

66

00:01:58,418 --> 00:02:01,187

If you're, you know, a Boston guy.

 

67

00:02:01,187 --> 00:02:01,688

But then once

 

68

00:02:03,089 --> 00:02:04,057

the game got go

 

69

00:02:04,057 --> 00:02:04,390

the first

 

70

00:02:04,390 --> 00:02:07,494

two periods were kind of like a snooze

 

71

00:02:07,494 --> 00:02:10,530

like almost like

 

72

00:02:10,530 --> 00:02:12,499

like the NFL All-Star Game.

 

73

00:02:12,499 --> 00:02:13,366

You know what I mean?

 

74

00:02:13,366 --> 00:02:14,868

Not really

 

75

00:02:15,034 --> 00:02:16,769

But then the third period

 

76

00:02:16,769 --> 00:02:17,403

the Bruins are down

 

77

00:02:17,403 --> 00:02:18,271

by a goal was one

 

78

00:02:18,271 --> 00:02:21,174

nothing started the third period.

 

79

00:02:21,174 --> 00:02:22,942

And both teams woke up and said,

 

80

00:02:22,942 --> 00:02:24,444

oh, this is a hockey game.

 

81

00:02:24,444 --> 00:02:26,779

And the last period was great.

 

82

00:02:26,779 --> 00:02:28,481

If they didn't come back

 

83

00:02:28,481 --> 00:02:29,883

in the last period, man,

 

84

00:02:29,883 --> 00:02:31,584

that game could have been a snooze fest.

 

85

00:02:31,584 --> 00:02:34,821

But the last period was a real hockey

 

86

00:02:34,821 --> 00:02:35,955

game. Good.

 

87

00:02:35,955 --> 00:02:37,524

And of course,

 

88

00:02:37,624 --> 00:02:38,191

the Bruins

 

89

00:02:38,191 --> 00:02:40,126

are just having an amazing year.

 

90

00:02:40,126 --> 00:02:42,128

They won yesterday, but

 

91

00:02:44,030 --> 00:02:45,265

they've been setting records

 

92

00:02:45,265 --> 00:02:45,999

all year long

 

93

00:02:45,999 --> 00:02:48,434

for when they still haven't lost

 

94

00:02:48,434 --> 00:02:50,069

a regulation game at home.

 

95

00:02:51,070 --> 00:02:53,606

Yeah, I mean, hockey starts in October.

 

96

00:02:53,907 --> 00:02:55,909

Wow, that's incredible.

 

97

00:02:55,909 --> 00:02:57,076

You have three full months

 

98

00:02:57,076 --> 00:02:59,312

and you haven't lost

 

99

00:03:00,079 --> 00:03:02,348

a regular time game yet.

 

100

00:03:02,582 --> 00:03:03,016

They only

 

101

00:03:03,016 --> 00:03:04,417

I think they've only lost four games

 

102

00:03:04,417 --> 00:03:06,586

all year anyways.

 

103

00:03:07,420 --> 00:03:08,321

What I'm driving at

 

104

00:03:08,321 --> 00:03:11,491

because today's podcast is about

 

105

00:03:11,491 --> 00:03:14,727

staying happy, being positive.

 

106

00:03:14,727 --> 00:03:15,728

I was talking to my brother

 

107

00:03:15,728 --> 00:03:16,429

the other day,

 

108

00:03:16,429 --> 00:03:18,631

me and Pete and my brother,

 

109

00:03:18,631 --> 00:03:19,499

Billy Kennedy.

 

110

00:03:19,499 --> 00:03:20,633

We all went out to breakfast.

 

111

00:03:20,633 --> 00:03:21,201

You know something?

 

112

00:03:21,201 --> 00:03:24,437

We do every New Year's or Christmas

 

113

00:03:24,437 --> 00:03:27,740

Eve day before and

 

114

00:03:27,740 --> 00:03:29,576

we were talking about this

 

115

00:03:29,576 --> 00:03:31,644

year's brewing team

 

116

00:03:32,712 --> 00:03:35,281

It reminded me of the O for Red Sox team

 

117

00:03:36,449 --> 00:03:38,685

just doing amazing,

 

118

00:03:38,685 --> 00:03:41,120

but goofy as hell.

 

119

00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,190

I mean, just having a ball

 

120

00:03:44,190 --> 00:03:45,358

at the end of every game,

 

121

00:03:45,358 --> 00:03:46,292

the two goaltenders

 

122

00:03:46,292 --> 00:03:47,360

go out and hug each other.

 

123

00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:48,661

You know, the goalie, the starter

 

124

00:03:48,661 --> 00:03:49,862

and the backup goalie.

 

125

00:03:49,862 --> 00:03:50,430

Yeah, I.

 

126

00:03:50,430 --> 00:03:51,464

Do this big thing

 

127

00:03:51,464 --> 00:03:52,832

where they go out and hug, and

 

128

00:03:52,832 --> 00:03:54,167

I've never seen

 

129

00:03:55,235 --> 00:03:57,003

a happier team in my life.

 

130

00:03:57,003 --> 00:03:59,672

I mean, they are

 

131

00:03:59,973 --> 00:04:00,840

incredible.

 

132

00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,910

It's hysterical. OK,

 

133

00:04:03,910 --> 00:04:04,877

we had a new coach

 

134

00:04:04,877 --> 00:04:06,246

and I was thinking, Geez, new coach?

 

135

00:04:06,246 --> 00:04:06,679

I don't know.

 

136

00:04:06,679 --> 00:04:07,880

Yeah, this could be a rough year

 

137

00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,282

for us and everything.

 

138

00:04:09,282 --> 00:04:10,416

Like I said,

 

139

00:04:10,683 --> 00:04:11,184

yeah,

 

140

00:04:11,284 --> 00:04:12,819

I don't know what the guy's doing,

 

141

00:04:12,819 --> 00:04:15,321

but I have never seen a happier team

 

142

00:04:15,321 --> 00:04:18,391

in my life to a point where

 

143

00:04:18,391 --> 00:04:18,791

the Bruins

 

144

00:04:18,791 --> 00:04:21,728

are looking at bringing in this kid

 

145

00:04:21,794 --> 00:04:24,097

who is an amazing player

 

146

00:04:24,097 --> 00:04:26,199

up in the Juniors in Canada

 

147

00:04:26,199 --> 00:04:28,868

but has a nasty background.

 

148

00:04:28,868 --> 00:04:32,639

He was accused of doing some bad things

 

149

00:04:32,639 --> 00:04:33,906

when he was in high school

 

150

00:04:33,906 --> 00:04:35,575

and you know,

 

151

00:04:35,575 --> 00:04:38,244

and the players got together

 

152

00:04:39,545 --> 00:04:40,847

and told the owner

 

153

00:04:40,847 --> 00:04:42,915

and the general manager,

 

154

00:04:42,915 --> 00:04:44,250

we don't want this guy.

 

155

00:04:44,250 --> 00:04:47,287

And he was a huge addition to the team,

 

156

00:04:47,420 --> 00:04:50,056

you know, a player right

 

157

00:04:50,056 --> 00:04:51,557

But they said, now

 

158

00:04:51,557 --> 00:04:52,992

we don't want any bad vibes.

 

159

00:04:52,992 --> 00:04:54,460

We don't want this guy.

 

160

00:04:54,460 --> 00:04:55,395

No kidding.

 

161

00:04:55,395 --> 00:04:57,397

The team went, Yeah.

 

162

00:04:57,397 --> 00:04:57,964

Wow.

 

163

00:04:57,964 --> 00:04:58,831

It's kind of crazy

 

164

00:04:58,831 --> 00:04:59,399

to hear this

 

165

00:04:59,399 --> 00:05:02,035

in professional sports, right?

 

166

00:05:02,035 --> 00:05:03,436

But that's what's going on.

 

167

00:05:03,436 --> 00:05:05,838

Where the team had a meeting said,

 

168

00:05:05,972 --> 00:05:07,006

I don't know about you guys,

 

169

00:05:08,041 --> 00:05:08,541

this guy.

 

170

00:05:08,541 --> 00:05:10,343

Could you know,

 

171

00:05:10,877 --> 00:05:13,146

mix up our chemistry, take away

 

172

00:05:13,746 --> 00:05:15,181

our happiness?

 

173

00:05:15,181 --> 00:05:16,015

Wow.

 

174

00:05:16,015 --> 00:05:18,885

I went to the general manager and said,

 

175

00:05:18,885 --> 00:05:20,553

Yeah, why don't we pass on this guy?

 

176

00:05:20,553 --> 00:05:21,688

So as soon as the GM

 

177

00:05:21,688 --> 00:05:23,289

hears that, they're like, Yeah, he's

 

178

00:05:23,289 --> 00:05:24,157

he's out.

 

179

00:05:24,157 --> 00:05:24,991

Wow.

 

180

00:05:24,991 --> 00:05:27,960

I wonder if that guy will ever play them.

 

181

00:05:28,361 --> 00:05:29,562

I you know,

 

182

00:05:29,562 --> 00:05:32,532

I don't he hasn't been picked up yet.

 

183

00:05:32,899 --> 00:05:34,567

Hmm. Interesting.

 

184

00:05:34,567 --> 00:05:35,034

Yeah.

 

185

00:05:35,034 --> 00:05:36,436

Somebody is going to get desperate

 

186

00:05:36,436 --> 00:05:38,471

and they're going to need some

 

187

00:05:38,471 --> 00:05:39,238

he'll get picked up.

 

188

00:05:39,238 --> 00:05:40,773

I think you'll get picked up eventually.

 

189

00:05:40,773 --> 00:05:41,441

But

 

190

00:05:43,042 --> 00:05:44,777

anyways,

 

191

00:05:45,812 --> 00:05:47,013

I just thought it was a little story

 

192

00:05:47,013 --> 00:05:49,382

we tell about being happy.

 

193

00:05:49,382 --> 00:05:50,083

Yeah,

 

194

00:05:51,684 --> 00:05:53,553

there's a side track to that.

 

195

00:05:53,553 --> 00:05:55,888

I have a friend named Pete Hayes

 

196

00:05:55,888 --> 00:05:57,857

who's about 15 years older than us,

 

197

00:05:57,857 --> 00:06:00,426

my brothers and I. Right. And

 

198

00:06:02,462 --> 00:06:03,363

he he

 

199

00:06:03,363 --> 00:06:03,830

used to tell us

 

200

00:06:03,830 --> 00:06:05,965

he had a girlfriend named Linda, OK?

 

201

00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:07,800

And he would show

 

202

00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:08,835

a picture of his girlfriend,

 

203

00:06:08,835 --> 00:06:10,903

whom Linda was very attractive

 

204

00:06:11,771 --> 00:06:15,375

Pete was not an attractive man.

 

205

00:06:15,375 --> 00:06:16,476

He's passed away now.

 

206

00:06:16,476 --> 00:06:19,112

So it's like.

 

207

00:06:19,112 --> 00:06:20,413

Pete was a walk.

 

208

00:06:20,413 --> 00:06:22,048

All over his grave right now.

 

209

00:06:22,048 --> 00:06:23,182

He was a big boy.

 

210

00:06:23,182 --> 00:06:24,751

You like £360.

 

211

00:06:24,751 --> 00:06:26,652

He had a military crewcut,

 

212

00:06:26,652 --> 00:06:28,721

and he was stuck in the fifties, OK?

 

213

00:06:29,255 --> 00:06:31,591

And he had big, boisterous voice

 

214

00:06:32,291 --> 00:06:34,293

and was just not a nice guy.

 

215

00:06:35,061 --> 00:06:36,295

But he would always

 

216

00:06:36,295 --> 00:06:38,664

tell us about his girlfriend, Linda,

 

217

00:06:38,664 --> 00:06:40,833

and not one of us has ever seen

 

218

00:06:40,833 --> 00:06:43,436

Linda ever.

 

219

00:06:43,970 --> 00:06:44,704

The reason why.

 

220

00:06:44,704 --> 00:06:45,972

Wake not at the wake,

 

221

00:06:45,972 --> 00:06:48,508

not the funeral happened. No.

 

222

00:06:48,741 --> 00:06:49,308

We kind of lost

 

223

00:06:49,308 --> 00:06:50,643

touch with him before he died.

 

224

00:06:50,643 --> 00:06:51,878

I don't know what ever happened

 

225

00:06:51,878 --> 00:06:53,112

there, but

 

226

00:06:54,947 --> 00:06:55,515

I started

 

227

00:06:55,515 --> 00:06:56,716

as you were telling that story,

 

228

00:06:56,716 --> 00:06:59,118

and you mentioned your friend Pete

 

229

00:06:59,952 --> 00:07:02,121

that we've never seen Pete.

 

230

00:07:02,121 --> 00:07:04,424

He's never been on the podcast.

 

231

00:07:04,424 --> 00:07:05,291

He's real, right?

 

232

00:07:05,291 --> 00:07:07,059

I mean, you're not making this guy up.

 

233

00:07:07,059 --> 00:07:08,861

Is Pete real?

 

234

00:07:09,562 --> 00:07:11,030

He's the most real S.O.B.

 

235

00:07:11,030 --> 00:07:12,331

you ever met in your life.

 

236

00:07:12,331 --> 00:07:13,099

And I'll tell you, I.

 

237

00:07:13,099 --> 00:07:14,667

Hope I haven't met him.

 

238

00:07:14,667 --> 00:07:16,536

I hope you don't meet him, OK?

 

239

00:07:16,536 --> 00:07:18,805

Because he's hot.

 

240

00:07:18,805 --> 00:07:21,240

These and by hot, I mean mad.

 

241

00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:22,642

Not crazy about the way

 

242

00:07:22,642 --> 00:07:24,677

you treat me on the podcast. OK.

 

243

00:07:25,111 --> 00:07:27,013

So I think he's got a score to settle.

 

244

00:07:27,013 --> 00:07:28,848

You know, it's funny you said that.

 

245

00:07:28,848 --> 00:07:31,350

I was doing a class in Albany

 

246

00:07:34,053 --> 00:07:34,887

back in August.

 

247

00:07:34,887 --> 00:07:36,889

First week of August, I was doing a

 

248

00:07:36,889 --> 00:07:38,291

a two day class in Albany.

 

249

00:07:39,292 --> 00:07:40,193

And one of the guys who

 

250

00:07:40,193 --> 00:07:42,495

comes in, he goes, oh, my God,

 

251

00:07:43,029 --> 00:07:44,330

I love you and Wayne.

 

252

00:07:44,330 --> 00:07:47,133

The podcast is awesome.

 

253

00:07:47,300 --> 00:07:50,570

You know, just going on and on and on,

 

254

00:07:51,037 --> 00:07:53,072

and he's telling everybody know

 

255

00:07:53,072 --> 00:07:54,474

there's a few other people there

 

256

00:07:54,474 --> 00:07:55,541

who didn't listen

 

257

00:07:55,541 --> 00:07:56,876

that didn't know about us.

 

258

00:07:56,876 --> 00:07:58,711

And there are some other listeners,

 

259

00:07:58,711 --> 00:07:59,912

but he's, he's making

 

260

00:07:59,912 --> 00:08:01,781

sure that everybody got it right.

 

261

00:08:01,781 --> 00:08:03,115

You know, downloading it,

 

262

00:08:03,115 --> 00:08:04,617

finding it and everything.

 

263

00:08:04,617 --> 00:08:06,686

He's going out of his way.

 

264

00:08:06,686 --> 00:08:08,454

So we're sitting during lunch one day

 

265

00:08:08,454 --> 00:08:09,388

and we're all talking.

 

266

00:08:09,388 --> 00:08:10,323

And he said, Hey,

 

267

00:08:10,323 --> 00:08:12,558

I got a question to ask you.

 

268

00:08:12,658 --> 00:08:14,227

Is Pete real?

 

269

00:08:14,227 --> 00:08:16,262

Oh, yeah. Real.

 

270

00:08:16,262 --> 00:08:17,029

Yeah. And I said.

 

271

00:08:17,029 --> 00:08:18,631

Let me tell you something.

 

272

00:08:18,998 --> 00:08:21,234

He's the most real sum you ever met.

 

273

00:08:21,234 --> 00:08:23,035

Yes, he's real.

 

274

00:08:23,035 --> 00:08:24,036

I go.

 

275

00:08:24,303 --> 00:08:26,005

This gal to throw a brick wall

 

276

00:08:26,005 --> 00:08:26,739

and come out looking

 

277

00:08:26,739 --> 00:08:28,508

good on the other side, OK?

 

278

00:08:29,542 --> 00:08:31,844

And he's like, Oh, I don't know.

 

279

00:08:31,844 --> 00:08:33,813

I hear the stories.

 

280

00:08:34,146 --> 00:08:34,647

Well, don't

 

281

00:08:34,647 --> 00:08:35,581

you think

 

282

00:08:35,581 --> 00:08:38,518

the guy who runs the distributor

 

283

00:08:38,518 --> 00:08:41,287

there now, he's known people 20 years?

 

284

00:08:41,687 --> 00:08:42,121

Yeah.

 

285

00:08:42,722 --> 00:08:43,723

He comes up and he goes, Hey,

 

286

00:08:43,723 --> 00:08:44,790

I just got a call from Pete.

 

287

00:08:44,790 --> 00:08:45,658

He's on his way over.

 

288

00:08:45,658 --> 00:08:46,893

He needs to pick some stuff up.

 

289

00:08:46,893 --> 00:08:48,694

And I said, Oh, OK.

 

290

00:08:48,694 --> 00:08:50,329

All right, you got it.

 

291

00:08:50,329 --> 00:08:52,532

Here we go. Here we go.

 

292

00:08:53,733 --> 00:08:55,368

So I said, When he gets here,

 

293

00:08:55,368 --> 00:08:57,670

send him up. We a place.

 

294

00:08:57,670 --> 00:08:59,171

I go tell him there's some food up here.

 

295

00:08:59,171 --> 00:09:00,006

Tell him we're having lunch

 

296

00:09:00,006 --> 00:09:01,641

and there's, you know, a point for him.

 

297

00:09:01,641 --> 00:09:02,275

Yeah.

 

298

00:09:02,275 --> 00:09:04,377

So about 15 minutes later,

 

299

00:09:04,377 --> 00:09:06,812

he come walking in as a Pete,

 

300

00:09:06,812 --> 00:09:08,281

this guy right here,

 

301

00:09:08,347 --> 00:09:10,349

you didn't think you're real

 

302

00:09:10,449 --> 00:09:11,851

a pizza quiet guy.

 

303

00:09:11,851 --> 00:09:13,486

OK, pizza, very quiet guy.

 

304

00:09:13,486 --> 00:09:14,987

He goes, No, I'm pretty sure. I'm real

 

305

00:09:20,092 --> 00:09:20,359

all right.

 

306

00:09:20,359 --> 00:09:21,694

So it's not just me then.

 

307

00:09:21,694 --> 00:09:23,596

It's not just, you know.

 

308

00:09:23,596 --> 00:09:25,631

All right, all right. You know what?

 

309

00:09:25,631 --> 00:09:27,166

It's 20, 23.

 

310

00:09:27,166 --> 00:09:29,001

Maybe we'll have more on the show.

 

311

00:09:29,001 --> 00:09:29,936

Yeah, you should.

 

312

00:09:29,936 --> 00:09:31,504

Yeah, maybe.

 

313

00:09:31,504 --> 00:09:33,739

All right, now you.

 

314

00:09:33,873 --> 00:09:36,042

You owe me any money or anything.

 

315

00:09:36,042 --> 00:09:38,611

No, no, no, no, no, no,

 

316

00:09:38,611 --> 00:09:40,913

no, no, no, no.

 

317

00:09:42,548 --> 00:09:42,848

Well.

 

318

00:09:45,084 --> 00:09:47,587

At that school, though,

 

319

00:09:47,587 --> 00:09:49,555

he gave me one of the best compliments

 

320

00:09:49,555 --> 00:09:51,390

I've ever had anybody give me in my life.

 

321

00:09:51,390 --> 00:09:52,892

And it came from Pete,

 

322

00:09:52,892 --> 00:09:55,728

which which knocked me over, you know?

 

323

00:09:55,761 --> 00:09:57,663

I mean, work, man. Me.

 

324

00:09:57,663 --> 00:09:57,997

You know,

 

325

00:09:57,997 --> 00:09:59,131

you don't get a lot of compliments

 

326

00:09:59,131 --> 00:09:59,865

from your brother Pete.

 

327

00:09:59,865 --> 00:10:01,467

No, more like brothers

 

328

00:10:01,467 --> 00:10:04,003

than we are friends. Yeah.

 

329

00:10:04,003 --> 00:10:05,371

So, Pete,

 

330

00:10:05,371 --> 00:10:06,672

you know, we're going to get the class,

 

331

00:10:06,672 --> 00:10:07,473

get back on.

 

332

00:10:07,473 --> 00:10:09,575

He's got to get back to the job.

 

333

00:10:09,575 --> 00:10:11,310

So he stands up, and he said

 

334

00:10:13,412 --> 00:10:16,215

yeah, one of the that guy

 

335

00:10:16,215 --> 00:10:16,983

who said is Pete

 

336

00:10:16,983 --> 00:10:18,351

Real was also wearing

 

337

00:10:18,351 --> 00:10:20,519

an on the floor T-shirt,

 

338

00:10:20,987 --> 00:10:21,587

and Pete

 

339

00:10:21,587 --> 00:10:24,223

had never seen it on the floor t shirt.

 

340

00:10:24,223 --> 00:10:25,625

So he sees this guy's t shirt.

 

341

00:10:25,625 --> 00:10:27,627

He looks over and he goes,

 

342

00:10:27,627 --> 00:10:29,228

Yeah, only rock stars

 

343

00:10:29,228 --> 00:10:30,429

have their face on t shirts.

 

344

00:10:30,429 --> 00:10:31,597

You know that, right?

 

345

00:10:31,597 --> 00:10:34,000

Well, that's pretty cool. Yeah.

 

346

00:10:34,100 --> 00:10:35,234

So that was pretty good.

 

347

00:10:35,234 --> 00:10:37,236

And then as he's leaving

 

348

00:10:37,236 --> 00:10:38,004

now, he's, like, saying

 

349

00:10:38,004 --> 00:10:39,939

goodbye to everybody.

 

350

00:10:39,939 --> 00:10:41,607

And like I said,

 

351

00:10:41,607 --> 00:10:42,575

one of the best compliments

 

352

00:10:42,575 --> 00:10:43,743

anybody ever gave me.

 

353

00:10:43,743 --> 00:10:45,044

He said,

 

354

00:10:45,344 --> 00:10:48,414

I've been working with him since 1982

 

355

00:10:48,414 --> 00:10:50,282

point net me. Yeah.

 

356

00:10:50,282 --> 00:10:51,450

And

 

357

00:10:51,984 --> 00:10:54,286

we never had

 

358

00:10:54,286 --> 00:10:55,621

anything break down

 

359

00:10:55,621 --> 00:10:58,224

that he couldn't take care of every darn.

 

360

00:10:58,257 --> 00:10:59,425

That's cool.

 

361

00:10:59,425 --> 00:11:00,426

Yeah. Yeah.

 

362

00:11:00,426 --> 00:11:02,862

So I. Mean yeah, yeah.

 

363

00:11:03,396 --> 00:11:03,929

That,

 

364

00:11:05,297 --> 00:11:06,198

that's pretty good.

 

365

00:11:06,198 --> 00:11:07,066

That was,

 

366

00:11:07,066 --> 00:11:08,434

that was the best compliment

 

367

00:11:08,434 --> 00:11:10,002

I think anybody ever gave me.

 

368

00:11:10,002 --> 00:11:11,337

Yeah. Nice.

 

369

00:11:11,337 --> 00:11:12,338

And I was thinking about it.

 

370

00:11:12,338 --> 00:11:14,340

I'm like, you know what, I he's right.

 

371

00:11:14,340 --> 00:11:15,941

I truly am amazing.

 

372

00:11:15,941 --> 00:11:17,209

Yeah. Yeah.

 

373

00:11:18,077 --> 00:11:19,111

Well, this guy, Pete Hayes,

 

374

00:11:19,111 --> 00:11:21,147

used to say stuff like that about Linda,

 

375

00:11:21,147 --> 00:11:22,982

you know? Oh, she's so nice.

 

376

00:11:22,982 --> 00:11:23,349

And this, that

 

377

00:11:23,349 --> 00:11:24,150

and the other and everything.

 

378

00:11:24,150 --> 00:11:25,117

Oh, she's. He did this.

 

379

00:11:25,117 --> 00:11:25,651

He came over,

 

380

00:11:25,651 --> 00:11:26,786

he cooked dinner and everything.

 

381

00:11:26,786 --> 00:11:30,089

And so until I see Pete

 

382

00:11:31,691 --> 00:11:34,493

I'll just take it for what it is.

 

383

00:11:34,493 --> 00:11:34,760

All right?

 

384

00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:35,594

So this is.

 

385

00:11:35,594 --> 00:11:38,297

You know what? You might see him.

 

386

00:11:38,297 --> 00:11:40,032

You might see him this year sometime.

 

387

00:11:40,032 --> 00:11:41,167

Because,

 

388

00:11:41,434 --> 00:11:43,102

you know, not only does he do floors,

 

389

00:11:43,102 --> 00:11:44,103

but he works at the post

 

390

00:11:44,103 --> 00:11:45,137

office, too, full time.

 

391

00:11:45,137 --> 00:11:47,339

I've said that a million times.

 

392

00:11:47,339 --> 00:11:48,674

And like I say,

 

393

00:11:48,674 --> 00:11:50,776

we were out to breakfast the other day

 

394

00:11:50,776 --> 00:11:51,911

and he said, yep, four

 

395

00:11:51,911 --> 00:11:53,012

months and I'm done.

 

396

00:11:54,780 --> 00:11:55,815

He's retiring.

 

397

00:11:55,815 --> 00:11:56,916

He's retiring.

 

398

00:11:56,916 --> 00:11:57,817

And

 

399

00:11:58,484 --> 00:12:01,487

so now we all floors, all the time.

 

400

00:12:01,921 --> 00:12:02,755

All right.

 

401

00:12:02,755 --> 00:12:03,723

So I said, Man,

 

402

00:12:03,723 --> 00:12:04,957

if you're going to retire,

 

403

00:12:04,957 --> 00:12:06,092

I got plenty of points.

 

404

00:12:06,092 --> 00:12:07,626

You should, you know,

 

405

00:12:07,626 --> 00:12:09,762

fly out with me to some of the schools.

 

406

00:12:09,762 --> 00:12:10,896

Yeah, there you go.

 

407

00:12:10,896 --> 00:12:11,764

So there you go.

 

408

00:12:11,764 --> 00:12:12,998

You just might.

 

409

00:12:12,998 --> 00:12:15,301

You just might.

 

410

00:12:15,601 --> 00:12:17,503

I think you would get along pretty good.

 

411

00:12:17,503 --> 00:12:19,538

He's a huge music guy, too.

 

412

00:12:19,538 --> 00:12:20,673

Oh, nice, nice.

 

413

00:12:20,673 --> 00:12:22,708

Big world music guy. So.

 

414

00:12:22,708 --> 00:12:24,343

Well, I'd love to meet a legend, Pete,

 

415

00:12:24,343 --> 00:12:26,579

whenever it happens, so.

 

416

00:12:26,579 --> 00:12:28,380

He'll be.

 

417

00:12:28,380 --> 00:12:28,814

All right.

 

418

00:12:28,814 --> 00:12:30,916

So creating a happy work environment.

 

419

00:12:30,916 --> 00:12:32,685

OK, you talked about the Boston Bruins

 

420

00:12:32,685 --> 00:12:33,753

having an amazing season,

 

421

00:12:33,753 --> 00:12:34,820

and they didn't want someone there

 

422

00:12:34,820 --> 00:12:36,756

because he wasn't nice.

 

423

00:12:36,756 --> 00:12:39,658

He wasn't named he's kind of a bad dude.

 

424

00:12:39,925 --> 00:12:40,359

OK?

 

425

00:12:42,528 --> 00:12:43,395

So what else you want to

 

426

00:12:43,395 --> 00:12:44,930

say about being happy?

 

427

00:12:44,930 --> 00:12:46,332

I see that you see here

 

428

00:12:46,332 --> 00:12:49,635

when you see that happy people

 

429

00:12:50,603 --> 00:12:52,037

are not lazy people.

 

430

00:12:52,037 --> 00:12:53,773

In fact, happy people are more

 

431

00:12:53,773 --> 00:12:56,041

are more motivated to work.

 

432

00:12:56,041 --> 00:12:59,612

I've known some pretty happy, lazy people

 

433

00:13:01,914 --> 00:13:04,116

well, I really have.

 

434

00:13:04,116 --> 00:13:05,084

You know, this is

 

435

00:13:05,084 --> 00:13:06,886

I didn't read all the studies

 

436

00:13:06,886 --> 00:13:08,354

done on happiness.

 

437

00:13:08,354 --> 00:13:10,022

OK? OK.

 

438

00:13:10,022 --> 00:13:11,957

I just read this one

 

439

00:13:11,957 --> 00:13:14,160

Harvard study on happiness.

 

440

00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,128

This is a Harvard Harvard study.

 

441

00:13:16,128 --> 00:13:17,830

This is a Harvard study.

 

442

00:13:17,830 --> 00:13:19,098

And

 

443

00:13:19,498 --> 00:13:20,766

now I'm not saying they're right

 

444

00:13:20,766 --> 00:13:23,702

or wrong, you know, hey,

 

445

00:13:24,703 --> 00:13:26,705

but these are some of the things that

 

446

00:13:26,705 --> 00:13:27,740

they said

 

447

00:13:28,374 --> 00:13:30,543

happy people tend

 

448

00:13:30,776 --> 00:13:33,179

not to be lazy

 

449

00:13:34,180 --> 00:13:35,014

OK?

 

450

00:13:35,581 --> 00:13:36,715

So, you know, it's

 

451

00:13:36,715 --> 00:13:39,118

not going to be etched in stone.

 

452

00:13:39,118 --> 00:13:40,152

Yeah. OK, I gotcha.

 

453

00:13:40,152 --> 00:13:41,086

They turned out to be lazy.

 

454

00:13:41,086 --> 00:13:42,321

You know, these studies, you know,

 

455

00:13:42,321 --> 00:13:44,523

studies are 0%. Yeah.

 

456

00:13:44,757 --> 00:13:46,492

There's always an outlier here and there.

 

457

00:13:46,492 --> 00:13:48,828

Yeah. Are you a happy person?

 

458

00:13:52,832 --> 00:13:53,966

I can be.

 

459

00:13:53,966 --> 00:13:55,801

You seem like I'm happy for you.

 

460

00:13:55,801 --> 00:13:56,802

I am. I am.

 

461

00:13:56,802 --> 00:13:58,270

You seem like a happy person.

 

462

00:13:58,270 --> 00:13:59,839

Yeah, I am. I am.

 

463

00:13:59,839 --> 00:14:02,041

OK, are you a hard worker?

 

464

00:14:02,041 --> 00:14:04,076

Yes. You have to ask me that.

 

465

00:14:04,076 --> 00:14:04,810

There you go.

 

466

00:14:04,810 --> 00:14:06,946

So, OK, fit right into this study.

 

467

00:14:07,246 --> 00:14:08,047

OK, now,

 

468

00:14:08,047 --> 00:14:09,248

if you want to go out of your way

 

469

00:14:09,248 --> 00:14:10,816

to bang holes in all this.

 

470

00:14:10,816 --> 00:14:13,819

Yeah, that could be fun to know.

 

471

00:14:13,819 --> 00:14:16,255

I kind of like it.

 

472

00:14:16,255 --> 00:14:17,022

I get their point,

 

473

00:14:17,022 --> 00:14:18,958

but I have seen a lot of lazy people

 

474

00:14:18,958 --> 00:14:20,192

that were happy

 

475

00:14:21,293 --> 00:14:23,429

just as a you know, I don't want to say.

 

476

00:14:23,762 --> 00:14:25,130

You looked right at me

 

477

00:14:25,130 --> 00:14:26,632

and cleared your throat.

 

478

00:14:26,632 --> 00:14:28,667

Yeah, I know, I know.

 

479

00:14:28,734 --> 00:14:29,034

I know.

 

480

00:14:29,034 --> 00:14:30,002

Better than that, man. You're not.

 

481

00:14:30,002 --> 00:14:31,604

I would never say that about you.

 

482

00:14:31,604 --> 00:14:33,672

Not that. Not to my face.

 

483

00:14:33,706 --> 00:14:34,440

Not to your face.

 

484

00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:34,974

Not right.

 

485

00:14:34,974 --> 00:14:36,876

You wait till I get up from the table.

 

486

00:14:36,876 --> 00:14:39,078

Yes. You see that guy right there?

 

487

00:14:39,078 --> 00:14:40,012

He's really lazy.

 

488

00:14:41,547 --> 00:14:42,615

You know,

 

489

00:14:42,681 --> 00:14:43,048

like I

 

490

00:14:43,048 --> 00:14:43,749

said, I went

 

491

00:14:43,749 --> 00:14:44,950

out to breakfast with the boys

 

492

00:14:44,950 --> 00:14:45,985

the other day,

 

493

00:14:46,785 --> 00:14:48,220

like, get up to go to the bathroom.

 

494

00:14:48,220 --> 00:14:49,588

I came back when I sat down.

 

495

00:14:49,588 --> 00:14:52,291

Boy, it it was quiet, so I got.

 

496

00:14:52,291 --> 00:14:55,027

So what were you saying about me?

 

497

00:14:55,261 --> 00:14:56,862

What would you say about me?

 

498

00:14:56,862 --> 00:14:59,765

Everything silent and Billy says, well,

 

499

00:15:00,532 --> 00:15:02,868

you know, never to leave first, you know?

 

500

00:15:02,902 --> 00:15:04,370

Yeah, well, he absolutely.

 

501

00:15:04,370 --> 00:15:05,070

Was like, wow,

 

502

00:15:05,070 --> 00:15:06,405

I was just going to the bathroom, like,

 

503

00:15:06,405 --> 00:15:07,506

you know, stuff.

 

504

00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,476

Yeah, so, yeah, I get it.

 

505

00:15:10,476 --> 00:15:12,278

Yeah. Don't get up from the table first.

 

506

00:15:12,278 --> 00:15:13,245

Mm hmm.

 

507

00:15:14,213 --> 00:15:16,916

Wayne In today's social climate,

 

508

00:15:16,916 --> 00:15:18,717

we have been bombarded

 

509

00:15:18,717 --> 00:15:19,752

with negativity,

 

510

00:15:19,752 --> 00:15:20,819

politics, wars,

 

511

00:15:20,819 --> 00:15:23,088

inflation, COVID protests, et cetera.

 

512

00:15:24,023 --> 00:15:25,691

We are surrounded

 

513

00:15:25,691 --> 00:15:28,627

by a toxic stew of negativity.

 

514

00:15:29,595 --> 00:15:31,931

It can feel wrong to promote happiness

 

515

00:15:31,931 --> 00:15:32,831

in this climate,

 

516

00:15:32,831 --> 00:15:35,167

but happiness is not selfish.

 

517

00:15:35,668 --> 00:15:37,136

I kind of wrote that one down.

 

518

00:15:37,136 --> 00:15:38,537

I liked that.

 

519

00:15:38,537 --> 00:15:41,307

That that got me a little bit like.

 

520

00:15:41,307 --> 00:15:42,441

Yeah, you're right.

 

521

00:15:44,643 --> 00:15:46,412

When you ever come across somebody

 

522

00:15:46,412 --> 00:15:48,280

that's really, really happy

 

523

00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,249

that you walks in the room and whatever,

 

524

00:15:50,249 --> 00:15:51,750

or she walks in the room

 

525

00:15:51,750 --> 00:15:52,985

and you just very

 

526

00:15:52,985 --> 00:15:53,986

they exude happiness

 

527

00:15:53,986 --> 00:15:55,321

and they're nice in their plight.

 

528

00:15:55,321 --> 00:15:57,556

It elevates everybody in the room, right?

 

529

00:15:57,556 --> 00:16:00,326

Unless you're just a complete A-hole

 

530

00:16:00,859 --> 00:16:02,428

it really does.

 

531

00:16:02,428 --> 00:16:03,495

It does one or two things.

 

532

00:16:03,495 --> 00:16:05,831

It either makes them mad

 

533

00:16:06,065 --> 00:16:08,200

or it really elevates the whole room

 

534

00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:09,301

and makes everybody happy.

 

535

00:16:09,301 --> 00:16:10,602

A positive like like you said

 

536

00:16:10,602 --> 00:16:12,571

that guy in the locker room.

 

537

00:16:12,571 --> 00:16:14,340

I absolutely have seen somebody

 

538

00:16:14,340 --> 00:16:16,175

just drag the whole team down

 

539

00:16:16,175 --> 00:16:17,643

before just because the attitude,

 

540

00:16:17,643 --> 00:16:19,111

the negativity.

 

541

00:16:19,445 --> 00:16:21,580

So 100%, I believe that.

 

542

00:16:21,580 --> 00:16:22,915

I mean, you get around someone,

 

543

00:16:22,915 --> 00:16:24,616

it's like that is contagious.

 

544

00:16:24,616 --> 00:16:26,318

We all know those guys.

 

545

00:16:26,318 --> 00:16:27,886

They're super happy people

 

546

00:16:27,886 --> 00:16:28,721

and they're just a joy

 

547

00:16:28,721 --> 00:16:30,489

to be around and and

 

548

00:16:31,590 --> 00:16:34,193

man, they you can't, you know,

 

549

00:16:35,227 --> 00:16:36,528

put on paper what that's what

 

550

00:16:36,528 --> 00:16:38,731

that's worth, but it is worth a lot.

 

551

00:16:38,731 --> 00:16:40,899

So absolutely I believe in that.

 

552

00:16:40,899 --> 00:16:41,500

Well,

 

553

00:16:41,500 --> 00:16:42,501

I think it also has

 

554

00:16:42,501 --> 00:16:43,502

an effect on business.

 

555

00:16:43,502 --> 00:16:44,703

I mean, as I was

 

556

00:16:44,703 --> 00:16:45,070

you know,

 

557

00:16:45,070 --> 00:16:47,906

getting deeper into this article,

 

558

00:16:47,906 --> 00:16:49,508

I'd like this one right away.

 

559

00:16:49,508 --> 00:16:50,175

It said,

 

560

00:16:50,175 --> 00:16:52,411

happy people engage with the world,

 

561

00:16:53,612 --> 00:16:57,082

less happy people tend to be more inward

 

562

00:16:58,951 --> 00:17:01,320

and become preoccupied with issues.

 

563

00:17:02,788 --> 00:17:04,490

So yeah, you're talking about the world,

 

564

00:17:04,490 --> 00:17:06,692

but I replace the world,

 

565

00:17:06,692 --> 00:17:09,361

the word world with customers.

 

566

00:17:10,195 --> 00:17:10,963

Yeah.

 

567

00:17:11,163 --> 00:17:13,065

Well, I want my customer.

 

568

00:17:13,065 --> 00:17:15,534

I want anybody working for me or with me.

 

569

00:17:16,402 --> 00:17:17,703

I want them to be happy,

 

570

00:17:17,703 --> 00:17:19,271

engaging with customers,

 

571

00:17:19,271 --> 00:17:21,340

not crazy engagement.

 

572

00:17:21,340 --> 00:17:21,940

Now,

 

573

00:17:23,742 --> 00:17:24,743

because I have heard some,

 

574

00:17:24,743 --> 00:17:25,878

you know, doing the trainings

 

575

00:17:25,878 --> 00:17:27,379

and everything. I have heard some

 

576

00:17:28,414 --> 00:17:29,615

amazingly funny

 

577

00:17:29,615 --> 00:17:32,918

stories about people who over engage.

 

578

00:17:33,752 --> 00:17:34,486

The. Customer.

 

579

00:17:34,486 --> 00:17:37,022

Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah.

 

580

00:17:37,022 --> 00:17:39,691

Well, maybe pull back a little bit.

 

581

00:17:40,826 --> 00:17:42,261

Along with this.

 

582

00:17:42,261 --> 00:17:45,097

I really like curious people,

 

583

00:17:45,097 --> 00:17:47,599

and I think curious people are, are,

 

584

00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,669

are great to be around and

 

585

00:17:51,203 --> 00:17:51,970

because they're always

 

586

00:17:51,970 --> 00:17:53,439

and this that actually was

 

587

00:17:53,439 --> 00:17:54,506

when people get older

 

588

00:17:54,506 --> 00:17:56,275

they stop being curious.

 

589

00:17:56,275 --> 00:17:57,810

And that's the thing about when

 

590

00:17:57,810 --> 00:17:59,912

you're a novice versus an expert.

 

591

00:17:59,912 --> 00:18:02,548

An expert has very few options in life.

 

592

00:18:02,548 --> 00:18:04,083

I mean, he's ruled out everything

 

593

00:18:04,083 --> 00:18:04,650

except for what

 

594

00:18:04,650 --> 00:18:05,684

he knows exactly

 

595

00:18:05,684 --> 00:18:07,953

what is going to work any.

 

596

00:18:07,953 --> 00:18:09,721

And sometimes you can stop being curious.

 

597

00:18:09,721 --> 00:18:10,289

I think

 

598

00:18:10,289 --> 00:18:11,490

curious people are always

 

599

00:18:11,490 --> 00:18:12,991

looking for other angles.

 

600

00:18:12,991 --> 00:18:15,060

Or they're interested in other people

 

601

00:18:15,060 --> 00:18:16,161

they want to know.

 

602

00:18:16,161 --> 00:18:18,497

And we've all seen people do that also.

 

603

00:18:18,497 --> 00:18:20,632

It's all about them, meaning everything.

 

604

00:18:20,799 --> 00:18:22,468

How does it affect me and relate to me

 

605

00:18:22,468 --> 00:18:23,902

and blah, blah, blah.

 

606

00:18:23,936 --> 00:18:26,338

But I like people that ask questions

 

607

00:18:26,338 --> 00:18:27,039

that are curious

 

608

00:18:27,039 --> 00:18:28,440

of the world around them.

 

609

00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:29,274

And I think if

 

610

00:18:29,274 --> 00:18:30,342

and when people stop being

 

611

00:18:30,342 --> 00:18:31,443

curious, it also

 

612

00:18:32,711 --> 00:18:34,012

is not good.

 

613

00:18:34,012 --> 00:18:35,714

I think you have to always be curious.

 

614

00:18:35,714 --> 00:18:37,116

And, you know,

 

615

00:18:37,116 --> 00:18:39,518

actually it's big in sales, by the way.

 

616

00:18:40,052 --> 00:18:40,452

You know,

 

617

00:18:40,452 --> 00:18:42,187

you always want to know, you know,

 

618

00:18:42,187 --> 00:18:43,088

how going to be different.

 

619

00:18:43,088 --> 00:18:44,289

How can you look at something

 

620

00:18:44,289 --> 00:18:46,291

that was maybe looking at, you know,

 

621

00:18:46,859 --> 00:18:47,659

let me learn something

 

622

00:18:47,659 --> 00:18:49,094

I didn't know before.

 

623

00:18:49,094 --> 00:18:50,362

When you get those mechanics

 

624

00:18:50,362 --> 00:18:51,463

that have been in the

 

625

00:18:51,463 --> 00:18:52,431

we talked about all the time,

 

626

00:18:52,431 --> 00:18:53,732

you know, we've been

 

627

00:18:53,732 --> 00:18:54,900

in a trade for 20 years.

 

628

00:18:54,900 --> 00:18:56,135

We've been doing the same thing

 

629

00:18:56,135 --> 00:18:58,403

the same way for 20 years.

 

630

00:18:58,403 --> 00:19:00,639

And maybe, you know, they just don't

 

631

00:19:00,639 --> 00:19:01,640

have the curiosity

 

632

00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,343

to go outside that comfort zone.

 

633

00:19:04,343 --> 00:19:05,944

I think that's a big part of it.

 

634

00:19:05,944 --> 00:19:07,513

And I know we're talking about

 

635

00:19:07,513 --> 00:19:08,947

happiness or whatever,

 

636

00:19:08,947 --> 00:19:11,350

but I think that's a quality that

 

637

00:19:12,451 --> 00:19:14,620

that is very important as well.

 

638

00:19:14,620 --> 00:19:16,155

I just put that out there.

 

639

00:19:16,155 --> 00:19:17,289

There you go.

 

640

00:19:17,823 --> 00:19:19,091

OK, so here's some more stuff

 

641

00:19:19,091 --> 00:19:22,060

I got from this Harvard study out.

 

642

00:19:22,060 --> 00:19:25,397

What this Harvard study did was they

 

643

00:19:26,632 --> 00:19:29,034

went to a hospital during the pandemic

 

644

00:19:29,635 --> 00:19:32,604

and they started this whole

 

645

00:19:32,604 --> 00:19:33,572

happiness thing.

 

646

00:19:33,572 --> 00:19:35,841

And what they did was started to

 

647

00:19:35,874 --> 00:19:38,577

they had the hospital promoting ways

 

648

00:19:38,977 --> 00:19:41,813

to get their employees to become happy.

 

649

00:19:42,681 --> 00:19:43,382

OK.

 

650

00:19:43,415 --> 00:19:44,783

And we'll talk about that

 

651

00:19:44,783 --> 00:19:45,651

a little bit later.

 

652

00:19:45,651 --> 00:19:46,418

But

 

653

00:19:47,553 --> 00:19:48,420

here's what they got,

 

654

00:19:48,420 --> 00:19:51,590

what the feedback from Happy employees.

 

655

00:19:51,590 --> 00:19:52,891

You ready for this one?

 

656

00:19:52,891 --> 00:19:53,992

Yes, sir.

 

657

00:19:54,693 --> 00:19:57,196

50% less burnout.

 

658

00:19:57,196 --> 00:19:58,030

Now, these are people

 

659

00:19:58,030 --> 00:20:00,332

that are taking clear COVID patients

 

660

00:20:00,332 --> 00:20:01,133

yeah.

 

661

00:20:01,133 --> 00:20:02,434

They're happy people.

 

662

00:20:02,434 --> 00:20:05,070

50% less burnout.

 

663

00:20:05,204 --> 00:20:08,340

20% increase in optimism.

 

664

00:20:09,841 --> 00:20:11,610

Highest ever increase

 

665

00:20:11,610 --> 00:20:14,012

in social connections

 

666

00:20:14,012 --> 00:20:15,881

and a dramatic increase.

 

667

00:20:15,881 --> 00:20:18,417

And this one blew me away.

 

668

00:20:18,717 --> 00:20:21,520

A dramatic increase in patient safety

 

669

00:20:24,056 --> 00:20:24,690

yeah.

 

670

00:20:24,790 --> 00:20:25,090

Yeah.

 

671

00:20:25,090 --> 00:20:26,625

I'm glad you choked on that one, too,

 

672

00:20:26,625 --> 00:20:28,560

because I read that and I was like,

 

673

00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:29,528

Holy crap.

 

674

00:20:29,528 --> 00:20:31,263

What do you mean exactly?

 

675

00:20:31,263 --> 00:20:32,397

What the hell is going on

 

676

00:20:32,397 --> 00:20:33,832

with pissed off people?

 

677

00:20:33,832 --> 00:20:34,866

You see a grumpy nurse

 

678

00:20:34,866 --> 00:20:36,568

come in the room, you know?

 

679

00:20:36,568 --> 00:20:38,670

You want to hit that bell?

 

680

00:20:38,670 --> 00:20:39,137

Yeah.

 

681

00:20:39,137 --> 00:20:40,939

Give me somebody else.

 

682

00:20:41,106 --> 00:20:43,141

No, I'm good. I'm good.

 

683

00:20:43,141 --> 00:20:46,812

You know, you saw in prisons

 

684

00:20:46,812 --> 00:20:48,547

and as well as hospitals

 

685

00:20:48,547 --> 00:20:50,582

and old folk centers, when they

 

686

00:20:51,316 --> 00:20:53,385

they bring in the cats

 

687

00:20:53,385 --> 00:20:55,554

to the to the to the room.

 

688

00:20:55,554 --> 00:20:57,556

And how much that just changes

 

689

00:20:57,556 --> 00:20:58,490

everything changes.

 

690

00:20:58,490 --> 00:20:59,758

Their whole outlook changes.

 

691

00:20:59,758 --> 00:21:00,292

I mean,

 

692

00:21:00,292 --> 00:21:02,060

go going from a mean prison guy

 

693

00:21:02,060 --> 00:21:02,928

to just of,

 

694

00:21:02,928 --> 00:21:03,495

you know,

 

695

00:21:03,595 --> 00:21:05,664

just, you know, very much a happier,

 

696

00:21:05,931 --> 00:21:06,965

more content person

 

697

00:21:06,965 --> 00:21:09,001

with having the animals in the

 

698

00:21:09,001 --> 00:21:09,968

around them.

 

699

00:21:09,968 --> 00:21:12,037

So I believe in it 100%

 

700

00:21:12,037 --> 00:21:14,840

speaking of speaking of cats so

 

701

00:21:15,841 --> 00:21:16,074

you know

 

702

00:21:16,074 --> 00:21:16,642

I've got

 

703

00:21:16,642 --> 00:21:18,810

my older cat is a sweetheart I mean he is

 

704

00:21:19,211 --> 00:21:21,580

the guy who just is a great cat

 

705

00:21:21,580 --> 00:21:24,049

we have the younger cat now.

 

706

00:21:24,049 --> 00:21:25,584

Well the older you don't want a cat

 

707

00:21:25,584 --> 00:21:27,686

cats are very clean animals

 

708

00:21:27,686 --> 00:21:28,854

know in our house

 

709

00:21:28,854 --> 00:21:30,389

we have at least four litter

 

710

00:21:30,389 --> 00:21:33,392

that are best there we call them,

 

711

00:21:33,392 --> 00:21:33,892

you know.

 

712

00:21:33,892 --> 00:21:35,927

Yeah. Litter litter that are boxes.

 

713

00:21:35,927 --> 00:21:36,295

Yeah.

 

714

00:21:36,295 --> 00:21:37,829

When they go to the bathroom

 

715

00:21:37,829 --> 00:21:40,098

and I know people say that, oh yeah.

 

716

00:21:40,098 --> 00:21:41,133

You come in our house, you'd never,

 

717

00:21:41,133 --> 00:21:42,668

you know, have an animal

 

718

00:21:42,668 --> 00:21:44,202

like my sister in law

 

719

00:21:44,202 --> 00:21:45,904

will say that, but you walk in the house,

 

720

00:21:45,904 --> 00:21:47,639

you smell dogs right away.

 

721

00:21:47,639 --> 00:21:48,307

You know what I mean? Yeah.

 

722

00:21:48,307 --> 00:21:48,840

I mean,

 

723

00:21:49,374 --> 00:21:51,343

you go in a car, it smells like dogs.

 

724

00:21:51,343 --> 00:21:52,044

Oh, yes.

 

725

00:21:52,044 --> 00:21:52,477

That's really life.

 

726

00:21:52,477 --> 00:21:53,879

I'm not complaining,

 

727

00:21:53,879 --> 00:21:55,614

but cats are very clean.

 

728

00:21:55,614 --> 00:21:56,581

We have four litter

 

729

00:21:56,581 --> 00:21:58,550

boxes, and Judy cleans them daily, like,

 

730

00:21:58,550 --> 00:21:59,551

several times a day.

 

731

00:21:59,551 --> 00:22:01,887

You know, you never know until

 

732

00:22:03,121 --> 00:22:03,989

about a month or

 

733

00:22:03,989 --> 00:22:06,091

two ago when their oldest cat,

 

734

00:22:07,225 --> 00:22:08,193

all of a sudden, he's

 

735

00:22:08,193 --> 00:22:09,328

not covering up his.

 

736

00:22:09,328 --> 00:22:10,128

When he goes to the bathroom,

 

737

00:22:10,128 --> 00:22:12,397

he doesn't cover it up anymore.

 

738

00:22:12,464 --> 00:22:14,099

He leaves it there.

 

739

00:22:14,499 --> 00:22:15,434

That's not like cats

 

740

00:22:15,434 --> 00:22:15,734

do that

 

741

00:22:15,734 --> 00:22:17,202

because cats always cover up their

 

742

00:22:17,202 --> 00:22:18,070

when they go to the bathroom,

 

743

00:22:18,070 --> 00:22:19,771

they cover it up. Right.

 

744

00:22:19,938 --> 00:22:20,472

So we're like.

 

745

00:22:20,472 --> 00:22:22,040

I had no idea they did.

 

746

00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:23,709

That. Yes.

 

747

00:22:23,709 --> 00:22:25,877

So a cat goes to the bathroom in the box.

 

748

00:22:26,378 --> 00:22:28,380

They always present it.

 

749

00:22:28,380 --> 00:22:29,881

Always cats. Always.

 

750

00:22:29,881 --> 00:22:31,850

Yes. They dig and cover it. Yes.

 

751

00:22:31,850 --> 00:22:33,752

I mean, they're they're clean animals.

 

752

00:22:33,752 --> 00:22:36,154

And you want them to do that, by the way,

 

753

00:22:36,154 --> 00:22:38,123

because of the odor and stuff like that.

 

754

00:22:38,123 --> 00:22:38,790

Right.

 

755

00:22:38,790 --> 00:22:41,793

But our or our cat now

 

756

00:22:41,793 --> 00:22:43,161

know the cat about last

 

757

00:22:43,161 --> 00:22:44,262

two months doesn't cover it.

 

758

00:22:44,262 --> 00:22:45,330

Cover it doesn't doesn't

 

759

00:22:45,330 --> 00:22:46,164

cover it up anymore.

 

760

00:22:47,199 --> 00:22:47,799

So we're thinking

 

761

00:22:47,799 --> 00:22:49,901

why why did he change his behavior?

 

762

00:22:49,901 --> 00:22:51,203

What what's the deal with that?

 

763

00:22:51,203 --> 00:22:53,004

So Judy started researching it,

 

764

00:22:53,004 --> 00:22:54,373

researching it,

 

765

00:22:54,373 --> 00:22:56,541

and it's a sign of dominance

 

766

00:22:58,276 --> 00:23:00,379

is is why they do that.

 

767

00:23:00,379 --> 00:23:01,480

And I think it's because him

 

768

00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,115

and that younger cat.

 

769

00:23:03,415 --> 00:23:05,550

So I started I started thinking about it.

 

770

00:23:06,685 --> 00:23:07,252

I'm not going to

 

771

00:23:07,252 --> 00:23:08,153

flush the toilet anymore.

 

772

00:23:08,153 --> 00:23:09,721

I just guess

 

773

00:23:11,223 --> 00:23:11,990

and.

 

774

00:23:12,157 --> 00:23:14,192

I wanted to do that joke, right?

 

775

00:23:14,192 --> 00:23:15,060

I was just going to say.

 

776

00:23:15,060 --> 00:23:17,062

So you started using the toilet.

 

777

00:23:17,062 --> 00:23:19,131

Absolutely. You know, flush anymore.

 

778

00:23:19,231 --> 00:23:20,332

As a sign of dominance?

 

779

00:23:20,332 --> 00:23:20,832

Not at all.

 

780

00:23:20,832 --> 00:23:22,567

I mean, I've done.

 

781

00:23:22,567 --> 00:23:24,302

At home, of course I would.

 

782

00:23:24,302 --> 00:23:25,804

But I'm going to I'm

 

783

00:23:25,804 --> 00:23:27,973

going to try that for a while.

 

784

00:23:28,473 --> 00:23:31,009

You're here, Jim.

 

785

00:23:31,009 --> 00:23:33,278

How come they don't make dogs for four?

 

786

00:23:33,512 --> 00:23:36,348

They don't make boxes for dogs too big.

 

787

00:23:36,615 --> 00:23:38,817

Why is it only cats get to do that?

 

788

00:23:38,817 --> 00:23:40,552

Well, the little dogs, they do.

 

789

00:23:40,552 --> 00:23:41,853

The little dogs they do.

 

790

00:23:41,853 --> 00:23:43,822

But I don't like little dog, you know.

 

791

00:23:44,823 --> 00:23:45,991

Well, dogs.

 

792

00:23:46,591 --> 00:23:47,192

I like them.

 

793

00:23:47,192 --> 00:23:47,959

I mean, I wouldn't want.

 

794

00:23:47,959 --> 00:23:49,294

One, don't be insult.

 

795

00:23:49,294 --> 00:23:50,929

And I know I won't.

 

796

00:23:50,929 --> 00:23:52,297

Be insulting the little dogs.

 

797

00:23:52,297 --> 00:23:54,599

OK, you're going to make my daughter cry.

 

798

00:23:54,599 --> 00:23:55,534

Oh.

 

799

00:23:55,634 --> 00:23:57,269

We had to take care.

 

800

00:23:57,269 --> 00:23:58,537

I'm going to send a picture to you

 

801

00:23:58,537 --> 00:23:59,805

guys, too.

 

802

00:24:00,105 --> 00:24:02,340

I beg her every year to put this dog

 

803

00:24:02,340 --> 00:24:04,342

in the ugliest dog contest in the world

 

804

00:24:04,342 --> 00:24:07,012

because she got shot at top ten.

 

805

00:24:07,212 --> 00:24:08,313

This dog.

 

806

00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:09,014

Is ugly.

 

807

00:24:09,014 --> 00:24:11,683

A daddy is an ugly girl.

 

808

00:24:11,683 --> 00:24:13,051

Yeah, ugly.

 

809

00:24:13,051 --> 00:24:15,687

Even the place where I got her.

 

810

00:24:15,887 --> 00:24:18,423

The rescue place yeah.

 

811

00:24:18,490 --> 00:24:19,391

Even they were shocked

 

812

00:24:19,391 --> 00:24:21,359

that we took her there like nobody.

 

813

00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,361

Now, nobody takes the old ones.

 

814

00:24:23,628 --> 00:24:24,763

Yeah, right.

 

815

00:24:25,931 --> 00:24:27,032

A lot to be said for that.

 

816

00:24:27,032 --> 00:24:27,933

And that's why,

 

817

00:24:27,933 --> 00:24:28,800

I mean, anybody

 

818

00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,102

that has a chance to pick a dog

 

819

00:24:31,102 --> 00:24:32,270

from one of those places

 

820

00:24:32,270 --> 00:24:33,872

mean if you pick an old dog,

 

821

00:24:33,872 --> 00:24:34,406

you'll never have

 

822

00:24:34,406 --> 00:24:35,674

a more grateful critter.

 

823

00:24:35,674 --> 00:24:36,908

In your life around you.

 

824

00:24:38,710 --> 00:24:39,344

I'm big.

 

825

00:24:39,344 --> 00:24:41,179

I'm a big fan of that, man.

 

826

00:24:41,179 --> 00:24:42,380

Pick an old dog.

 

827

00:24:42,380 --> 00:24:43,982

This dog is homely, though.

 

828

00:24:43,982 --> 00:24:45,450

Oh. Really?

 

829

00:24:45,450 --> 00:24:46,251

Oh, yeah.

 

830

00:24:46,251 --> 00:24:48,420

Send me a picture of her

 

831

00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:49,888

right now.

 

832

00:24:49,921 --> 00:24:51,423

No, no. When you get a chance.

 

833

00:24:51,423 --> 00:24:52,991

OK, let's stop the show

 

834

00:24:52,991 --> 00:24:55,861

so you can send me a picture of her

 

835

00:24:56,228 --> 00:24:57,362

but you bring up a good point.

 

836

00:24:57,362 --> 00:24:59,698

When you talk about happiness, Rob,

 

837

00:24:59,698 --> 00:25:02,734

it translates to if you got the work

 

838

00:25:02,734 --> 00:25:04,369

environment, it's it's

 

839

00:25:04,369 --> 00:25:06,037

critically important

 

840

00:25:06,071 --> 00:25:09,007

that that that you have that, you know,

 

841

00:25:09,574 --> 00:25:11,142

that harmony on the job site

 

842

00:25:11,142 --> 00:25:12,611

and people are getting along.

 

843

00:25:12,611 --> 00:25:14,479

And I think a lot of this goes

 

844

00:25:14,479 --> 00:25:16,147

to communication.

 

845

00:25:16,147 --> 00:25:17,782

A lot of people that aren't happy

 

846

00:25:17,782 --> 00:25:19,684

feel like they're not being heard,

 

847

00:25:19,684 --> 00:25:20,318

you know what I mean?

 

848

00:25:20,318 --> 00:25:22,087

Or their needs are not getting met.

 

849

00:25:23,355 --> 00:25:24,089

We had Sprague

 

850

00:25:24,089 --> 00:25:27,225

Lynn on and Steve last name escapes me.

 

851

00:25:27,225 --> 00:25:28,426

I apologize.

 

852

00:25:28,426 --> 00:25:30,161

But they're talking about

 

853

00:25:30,161 --> 00:25:30,962

keeping their employees

 

854

00:25:30,962 --> 00:25:31,630

happy or whatever.

 

855

00:25:31,630 --> 00:25:32,664

And

 

856

00:25:33,999 --> 00:25:36,134

it is very important.

 

857

00:25:36,134 --> 00:25:37,335

And if you have a guy that's

 

858

00:25:37,335 --> 00:25:37,802

you can tell

 

859

00:25:37,802 --> 00:25:40,171

when a guy is not happy, right?

 

860

00:25:40,171 --> 00:25:40,772

Well, it's

 

861

00:25:40,772 --> 00:25:41,706

pretty obvious if you got him

 

862

00:25:41,706 --> 00:25:42,440

scraping corners

 

863

00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,943

for three weeks consecutively on jobs

 

864

00:25:45,677 --> 00:25:48,313

and doing and scrape and razors.

 

865

00:25:48,313 --> 00:25:49,481

And I might have a reason

 

866

00:25:49,481 --> 00:25:50,815

not to be happy.

 

867

00:25:50,815 --> 00:25:52,817

But but if you start realizing

 

868

00:25:52,817 --> 00:25:54,386

the guy is not happy on a job

 

869

00:25:54,386 --> 00:25:55,120

and it could be something

 

870

00:25:55,120 --> 00:25:56,254

going on at home,

 

871

00:25:56,254 --> 00:25:56,421

you know,

 

872

00:25:56,421 --> 00:25:58,390

it may not be work related at all,

 

873

00:25:58,390 --> 00:26:00,926

but I think, you know, you know,

 

874

00:26:01,293 --> 00:26:02,394

getting that out and venting

 

875

00:26:02,394 --> 00:26:04,496

and discussing that is

 

876

00:26:04,496 --> 00:26:05,497

really, really important.

 

877

00:26:06,932 --> 00:26:07,799

You know, that study I

 

878

00:26:07,799 --> 00:26:08,567

was talking about,

 

879

00:26:08,567 --> 00:26:10,569

the management at that hospital

 

880

00:26:11,703 --> 00:26:13,672

went nuts when they found out

 

881

00:26:13,672 --> 00:26:15,440

how how this all worked out.

 

882

00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:16,808

And they really

 

883

00:26:16,808 --> 00:26:19,110

you know, their approach now is

 

884

00:26:20,011 --> 00:26:22,213

we need to find a way to harness

 

885

00:26:22,213 --> 00:26:23,415

the power of this

 

886

00:26:23,415 --> 00:26:26,651

because it made such a difference.

 

887

00:26:28,753 --> 00:26:30,889

Those are those are shocking numbers.

 

888

00:26:30,889 --> 00:26:32,157

I mean, really shocking numbers.

 

889

00:26:32,157 --> 00:26:34,159

But those numbers blew me away.

 

890

00:26:34,159 --> 00:26:35,226

I'm not you know,

 

891

00:26:35,226 --> 00:26:36,795

I'm not big into stuff like this.

 

892

00:26:36,795 --> 00:26:40,865

But, man, those numbers just said a ton.

 

893

00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,470

They also did this with MetLife, right?

 

894

00:26:45,570 --> 00:26:46,371

You know, the people

 

895

00:26:46,371 --> 00:26:48,273

the life insurance and everything.

 

896

00:26:48,273 --> 00:26:48,840

Yeah.

 

897

00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,042

They did it with MetLife, the same thing,

 

898

00:26:51,042 --> 00:26:52,344

the happiness thing

 

899

00:26:52,344 --> 00:26:53,078

with their employees,

 

900

00:26:53,078 --> 00:26:54,512

because now they're thinking, well,

 

901

00:26:54,512 --> 00:26:56,281

that was just nurses and doctors.

 

902

00:26:56,281 --> 00:26:57,849

And COVID and this and that.

 

903

00:26:57,849 --> 00:27:00,485

So let's try it in a commercial.

 

904

00:27:00,485 --> 00:27:03,421

Long story short, employee happiness.

 

905

00:27:03,922 --> 00:27:06,658

They had a 37% increase in sales

 

906

00:27:06,658 --> 00:27:08,193

and productivity.

 

907

00:27:08,193 --> 00:27:08,927

Yeah.

 

908

00:27:09,461 --> 00:27:12,330

So we're doing 7% increase that

 

909

00:27:13,365 --> 00:27:15,800

that's those are some wild numbers.

 

910

00:27:16,034 --> 00:27:17,302

And we're kind of joking

 

911

00:27:17,302 --> 00:27:18,003

around a little bit

 

912

00:27:18,003 --> 00:27:18,436

about this,

 

913

00:27:18,436 --> 00:27:21,206

but dammit, that you mean

 

914

00:27:21,206 --> 00:27:22,340

that cannot be denied.

 

915

00:27:22,340 --> 00:27:23,975

That is, that's massive.

 

916

00:27:23,975 --> 00:27:25,143

I mean, yeah, well put.

 

917

00:27:25,143 --> 00:27:26,911

Like what else could you do

 

918

00:27:26,911 --> 00:27:30,482

if you had to give 37% more productivity

 

919

00:27:30,482 --> 00:27:32,283

out of your employees,

 

920

00:27:32,283 --> 00:27:33,585

that was money you'd have to spend.

 

921

00:27:33,585 --> 00:27:34,219

And how many things,

 

922

00:27:34,219 --> 00:27:35,754

I mean we have to hire somebody else

 

923

00:27:35,754 --> 00:27:38,390

and this, that and the other, but that's

 

924

00:27:39,057 --> 00:27:41,459

probably a relatively inexpensive

 

925

00:27:41,459 --> 00:27:43,328

investment in yourself and your company

 

926

00:27:43,328 --> 00:27:44,763

and your employees. Exactly.

 

927

00:27:44,763 --> 00:27:46,931

Get to get that much productivity.

 

928

00:27:46,931 --> 00:27:47,432

Yeah.

 

929

00:27:47,432 --> 00:27:49,934

Yeah that's a that's a big deal.

 

930

00:27:49,934 --> 00:27:52,771

That 37% in sales and productivity

 

931

00:27:52,804 --> 00:27:54,139

was like that's

 

932

00:27:54,305 --> 00:27:55,573

yeah that's nuts

 

933

00:27:55,573 --> 00:27:57,542

just for changing somebody's attitude.

 

934

00:27:57,542 --> 00:27:58,243

Yeah

 

935

00:28:00,278 --> 00:28:01,780

and I don't think anything is forever.

 

936

00:28:01,780 --> 00:28:03,682

I mean, you know you have someone

 

937

00:28:03,682 --> 00:28:04,683

or you could be that person

 

938

00:28:04,683 --> 00:28:06,618

that's not happy it hasn't.

 

939

00:28:06,618 --> 00:28:08,453

Alison I've said it before.

 

940

00:28:08,453 --> 00:28:09,187

I worked with a guy

 

941

00:28:09,187 --> 00:28:10,989

in international Harvester

 

942

00:28:10,989 --> 00:28:12,424

and he was the most miserable guy

 

943

00:28:12,424 --> 00:28:13,858

at parts department on the counter.

 

944

00:28:13,858 --> 00:28:16,094

The guy was beyond miserable,

 

945

00:28:16,094 --> 00:28:17,896

beyond miserable.

 

946

00:28:17,929 --> 00:28:20,198

And when a couple of years goes by

 

947

00:28:20,198 --> 00:28:21,232

and that wasn't work with me

 

948

00:28:21,232 --> 00:28:21,800

more, another guy

 

949

00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,668

I mentioned his name

 

950

00:28:23,668 --> 00:28:24,836

says most miserable guy ever

 

951

00:28:24,836 --> 00:28:25,336

working alive life.

 

952

00:28:25,336 --> 00:28:26,671

He goes, No, are you kidding me?

 

953

00:28:26,671 --> 00:28:28,440

He's phenomenal.

 

954

00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:30,175

I go, We're talking about different guy.

 

955

00:28:30,175 --> 00:28:31,076

And he goes, No, you're talking about

 

956

00:28:31,076 --> 00:28:32,444

Fred, right? Well, yeah.

 

957

00:28:32,444 --> 00:28:33,011

Or if you can.

 

958

00:28:33,011 --> 00:28:34,746

He goes, Yeah, he's

 

959

00:28:34,746 --> 00:28:36,781

the greatest guy I've ever been around.

 

960

00:28:37,148 --> 00:28:38,616

Oh, my God.

 

961

00:28:38,616 --> 00:28:40,652

I said, You got to do something.

 

962

00:28:40,652 --> 00:28:41,653

Cannot be the same guy.

 

963

00:28:41,653 --> 00:28:43,321

He goes, No, he changed jobs.

 

964

00:28:43,321 --> 00:28:45,557

We haven't doing something else now.

 

965

00:28:45,557 --> 00:28:46,891

So and he

 

966

00:28:46,891 --> 00:28:49,360

and not only that, he's our best guy.

 

967

00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:50,929

So, you know,

 

968

00:28:50,929 --> 00:28:52,997

sometimes guys are in a niche

 

969

00:28:52,997 --> 00:28:55,366

that they just like to do certain things.

 

970

00:28:55,366 --> 00:28:55,800

But you're,

 

971

00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:56,634

you're seeing a guy

 

972

00:28:56,634 --> 00:28:57,602

who might be a great sander

 

973

00:28:57,602 --> 00:29:00,505

that also installs begrudgingly,

 

974

00:29:00,939 --> 00:29:02,440

maybe would rather be on that sander

 

975

00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:03,708

all the time.

 

976

00:29:03,708 --> 00:29:05,343

And maybe that makes more sense,

 

977

00:29:05,343 --> 00:29:07,145

you know what I mean? Absolutely.

 

978

00:29:07,145 --> 00:29:08,346

I don't you just.

 

979

00:29:08,346 --> 00:29:11,049

Know that's a that's a that's perfect.

 

980

00:29:11,049 --> 00:29:13,952

That is absolute perfect. You're right.

 

981

00:29:15,386 --> 00:29:15,687

Well, I.

 

982

00:29:15,687 --> 00:29:17,822

Mean, I know me personally.

 

983

00:29:18,423 --> 00:29:19,090

Dear.

 

984

00:29:19,524 --> 00:29:21,860

I'd rather be on a sander all day long.

 

985

00:29:22,026 --> 00:29:24,028

Yeah. And I would not want that.

 

986

00:29:24,028 --> 00:29:24,729

Yeah.

 

987

00:29:24,963 --> 00:29:26,264

Well, yes.

 

988

00:29:26,264 --> 00:29:27,632

Yeah, I would. I would.

 

989

00:29:27,632 --> 00:29:29,134

That's why we do the show together.

 

990

00:29:29,134 --> 00:29:29,467

Yeah.

 

991

00:29:29,467 --> 00:29:30,602

I mean, I'd want to be sanding

 

992

00:29:30,602 --> 00:29:31,202

half the time,

 

993

00:29:31,202 --> 00:29:33,338

but I also want to be installing I.

 

994

00:29:33,338 --> 00:29:35,974

Yeah, so, yeah, it's just

 

995

00:29:36,374 --> 00:29:37,408

you're talking about

 

996

00:29:37,408 --> 00:29:38,409

this is a big numbers

 

997

00:29:38,409 --> 00:29:39,210

you're throwing out, man.

 

998

00:29:39,210 --> 00:29:41,713

37% of productivity is a massive number.

 

999

00:29:42,213 --> 00:29:44,616

Let me talk about a couple other benefits

 

1000

00:29:44,616 --> 00:29:45,717

from happiness.

 

1001

00:29:45,717 --> 00:29:46,985

Well, before you before you going.

 

1002

00:29:46,985 --> 00:29:48,486

First thing was crazy.

 

1003

00:29:48,486 --> 00:29:50,522

Yeah, hold up. Hold on a second.

 

1004

00:29:50,522 --> 00:29:52,957

50% less burnout.

 

1005

00:29:52,957 --> 00:29:55,293

20% increase in optimism.

 

1006

00:29:56,461 --> 00:29:57,428

Higher highest

 

1007

00:29:57,428 --> 00:29:58,163

ever increase

 

1008

00:29:58,163 --> 00:29:59,097

in social connections,

 

1009

00:29:59,097 --> 00:30:01,332

a dramatic increase in patient safety.

 

1010

00:30:01,332 --> 00:30:02,700

We don't care about patient safety

 

1011

00:30:02,700 --> 00:30:03,902

in our industry.

 

1012

00:30:03,902 --> 00:30:05,570

But but those are

 

1013

00:30:05,570 --> 00:30:08,072

those are incredible numbers. Man.

 

1014

00:30:08,072 --> 00:30:08,673

Yeah,

 

1015

00:30:08,673 --> 00:30:09,574

this is something,

 

1016

00:30:09,574 --> 00:30:10,108

you know,

 

1017

00:30:10,108 --> 00:30:11,342

again, this is January

 

1018

00:30:11,342 --> 00:30:12,811

is beginning of the year.

 

1019

00:30:12,811 --> 00:30:14,212

This is something to really think

 

1020

00:30:14,212 --> 00:30:15,980

about with yourself and your employees.

 

1021

00:30:15,980 --> 00:30:17,782

And I'll tell you something, else

 

1022

00:30:17,782 --> 00:30:20,251

in your, in your, in your ear

 

1023

00:30:20,618 --> 00:30:21,586

with your relationships,

 

1024

00:30:21,586 --> 00:30:22,754

your wife and spouses

 

1025

00:30:22,754 --> 00:30:24,155

and boyfriends and girlfriends

 

1026

00:30:24,155 --> 00:30:25,590

and those type of things,

 

1027

00:30:25,590 --> 00:30:27,425

I, I don't like arguing.

 

1028

00:30:27,425 --> 00:30:29,460

I don't like I don't argue.

 

1029

00:30:29,661 --> 00:30:30,295

We get along,

 

1030

00:30:30,295 --> 00:30:32,430

my wife and I get along fantastic.

 

1031

00:30:32,430 --> 00:30:34,566

I've been around couples that, that,

 

1032

00:30:34,566 --> 00:30:35,967

that's their lifestyle.

 

1033

00:30:35,967 --> 00:30:36,501

And I don't even,

 

1034

00:30:36,501 --> 00:30:37,669

I don't even want to be around it, man.

 

1035

00:30:37,669 --> 00:30:38,369

I don't want to see it,

 

1036

00:30:38,369 --> 00:30:39,103

don't want to be around it.

 

1037

00:30:39,103 --> 00:30:40,505

I don't have time for it.

 

1038

00:30:40,505 --> 00:30:43,107

So I think that, you know,

 

1039

00:30:44,108 --> 00:30:45,577

a few small changes.

 

1040

00:30:45,577 --> 00:30:45,777

And as

 

1041

00:30:45,777 --> 00:30:46,678

you get older, it's harder

 

1042

00:30:46,678 --> 00:30:48,479

to change, as they say.

 

1043

00:30:48,479 --> 00:30:49,547

But you know what?

 

1044

00:30:49,547 --> 00:30:51,049

This is an investment in yourself

 

1045

00:30:51,049 --> 00:30:53,017

and a whole lot beyond that.

 

1046

00:30:53,017 --> 00:30:53,751

So.

 

1047

00:30:54,052 --> 00:30:54,686

Well,

 

1048

00:30:54,686 --> 00:30:56,454

I know it's an investment in ourselves.

 

1049

00:30:56,454 --> 00:30:58,156

But for guys who own companies

 

1050

00:30:58,156 --> 00:31:00,191

and run a companies,

 

1051

00:31:00,692 --> 00:31:02,327

you got to look at these numbers.

 

1052

00:31:02,327 --> 00:31:04,295

I mean, the productivity numbers.

 

1053

00:31:04,295 --> 00:31:06,731

Yeah, the optimism numbers

 

1054

00:31:06,731 --> 00:31:08,566

I mean, all of that is going to

 

1055

00:31:08,566 --> 00:31:09,734

I mean, one of the big things

 

1056

00:31:09,734 --> 00:31:11,236

that's facing everybody now in

 

1057

00:31:11,236 --> 00:31:13,104

this business is employee

 

1058

00:31:13,104 --> 00:31:15,240

retention, getting them and holding them.

 

1059

00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,375

Then I'm going to tell you something.

 

1060

00:31:17,375 --> 00:31:19,577

One of the easiest ways

 

1061

00:31:19,744 --> 00:31:20,511

to turn a guy's

 

1062

00:31:20,511 --> 00:31:21,813

attitude around

 

1063

00:31:21,813 --> 00:31:23,948

is to recognize their hard work.

 

1064

00:31:24,749 --> 00:31:26,551

I don't care who you are.

 

1065

00:31:26,551 --> 00:31:27,886

Everybody wants an attaboy

 

1066

00:31:27,886 --> 00:31:29,087

once in a while.

 

1067

00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:30,188

You know what I mean?

 

1068

00:31:30,188 --> 00:31:31,022

There's

 

1069

00:31:31,522 --> 00:31:33,124

there's a bullet on that one

 

1070

00:31:33,124 --> 00:31:35,226

where we're coming down the hall, OK?

 

1071

00:31:35,226 --> 00:31:36,828

So, yeah, I'm so glad.

 

1072

00:31:36,828 --> 00:31:38,096

You're way ahead of us.

 

1073

00:31:38,096 --> 00:31:40,465

OK, you're happy, guy.

 

1074

00:31:40,465 --> 00:31:40,732

Yeah.

 

1075

00:31:40,732 --> 00:31:43,101

Couple quick other happy benefits.

 

1076

00:31:43,101 --> 00:31:45,003

Benefits of being happy

 

1077

00:31:45,003 --> 00:31:47,005

your memory improves,

 

1078

00:31:47,005 --> 00:31:48,573

you're more creative,

 

1079

00:31:48,573 --> 00:31:51,542

your problem solving triples, which

 

1080

00:31:52,577 --> 00:31:53,978

I love that one.

 

1081

00:31:53,978 --> 00:31:54,746

You're intelligent,

 

1082

00:31:54,746 --> 00:31:56,881

horizons, you live longer,

 

1083

00:31:56,881 --> 00:31:58,383

your symptoms are less acute,

 

1084

00:31:58,383 --> 00:32:01,052

and social bonds are deeper

 

1085

00:32:01,753 --> 00:32:03,721

for happy people.

 

1086

00:32:03,721 --> 00:32:05,590

Yeah, OK,

 

1087

00:32:05,590 --> 00:32:07,191

here's a good illustration of that.

 

1088

00:32:07,191 --> 00:32:08,092

I just thought of this.

 

1089

00:32:08,092 --> 00:32:10,428

This is the genius of me.

 

1090

00:32:11,996 --> 00:32:15,400

Has anybody ever played with.

 

1091

00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,101

The genius of you?

 

1092

00:32:17,101 --> 00:32:19,237

Has anybody ever really, really

 

1093

00:32:19,270 --> 00:32:20,438

take you off on a job

 

1094

00:32:20,438 --> 00:32:21,172

like like

 

1095

00:32:21,172 --> 00:32:22,540

not not quite fighting,

 

1096

00:32:22,540 --> 00:32:25,076

but close to it, like, like like an

 

1097

00:32:25,543 --> 00:32:26,678

electrician did something

 

1098

00:32:26,678 --> 00:32:28,413

or somebody said something or what

 

1099

00:32:28,413 --> 00:32:28,713

have you?

 

1100

00:32:28,713 --> 00:32:30,181

I hate to say it out loud.

 

1101

00:32:30,181 --> 00:32:31,549

Yeah, my brother.

 

1102

00:32:31,549 --> 00:32:32,750

OK, there you go.

 

1103

00:32:32,750 --> 00:32:33,518

My brother now.

 

1104

00:32:33,518 --> 00:32:34,953

And I've done it to him.

 

1105

00:32:34,953 --> 00:32:35,687

He could

 

1106

00:32:35,820 --> 00:32:37,622

he could say the exact same thing.

 

1107

00:32:37,622 --> 00:32:39,390

Yes, Robbie.

 

1108

00:32:39,390 --> 00:32:40,124

So, Robbie.

 

1109

00:32:40,124 --> 00:32:42,527

Yeah, at that point, after that happens,

 

1110

00:32:43,127 --> 00:32:43,728

how hard is it

 

1111

00:32:43,728 --> 00:32:45,930

now to concentrate on the job at hand?

 

1112

00:32:46,631 --> 00:32:48,199

Where's your mind at it

 

1113

00:32:48,199 --> 00:32:49,133

and the job, right?

 

1114

00:32:49,133 --> 00:32:50,835

No, you're right. Well.

 

1115

00:32:50,835 --> 00:32:52,437

An even road rage.

 

1116

00:32:52,437 --> 00:32:54,038

I've read stories about people

 

1117

00:32:54,038 --> 00:32:56,007

get upset driving down the road

 

1118

00:32:56,007 --> 00:32:57,308

and, and,

 

1119

00:32:57,308 --> 00:32:58,509

you know, have a road rage incident

 

1120

00:32:58,509 --> 00:32:59,310

that you're not thinking.

 

1121

00:32:59,310 --> 00:33:01,112

Now, you're so focused on that

 

1122

00:33:01,112 --> 00:33:02,914

you can't think about nothing else,

 

1123

00:33:02,914 --> 00:33:03,982

you know what I mean?

 

1124

00:33:03,982 --> 00:33:07,352

So I think that this is bigger than then.

 

1125

00:33:07,585 --> 00:33:08,586

You know, it's

 

1126

00:33:08,686 --> 00:33:09,821

an episode on happiness

 

1127

00:33:09,821 --> 00:33:11,289

but it's bigger than that

 

1128

00:33:11,289 --> 00:33:12,490

because when you get that

 

1129

00:33:12,490 --> 00:33:14,192

that ticked off and you're even,

 

1130

00:33:14,192 --> 00:33:14,625

you know,

 

1131

00:33:14,625 --> 00:33:15,626

someone send you an email

 

1132

00:33:15,626 --> 00:33:17,095

that rubs you the wrong way.

 

1133

00:33:17,095 --> 00:33:17,662

It just

 

1134

00:33:17,662 --> 00:33:19,097

it just takes all your focus away

 

1135

00:33:19,097 --> 00:33:20,231

from everything else

 

1136

00:33:20,231 --> 00:33:22,100

into a negative avenue.

 

1137

00:33:22,100 --> 00:33:23,935

And I'll tell you, sometimes

 

1138

00:33:23,935 --> 00:33:25,536

taking a time out

 

1139

00:33:25,536 --> 00:33:26,971

is one of the best thing you can do.

 

1140

00:33:26,971 --> 00:33:28,373

Go for a walk.

 

1141

00:33:28,473 --> 00:33:30,842

You know how many times you try to

 

1142

00:33:30,842 --> 00:33:33,044

you're cutting a very difficult

 

1143

00:33:34,412 --> 00:33:35,279

cutting something in

 

1144

00:33:35,279 --> 00:33:36,080

a around a board or whatever,

 

1145

00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:37,048

very difficult.

 

1146

00:33:37,048 --> 00:33:39,150

And you try it and it's not quite there.

 

1147

00:33:39,150 --> 00:33:40,318

You do another one.

 

1148

00:33:40,318 --> 00:33:41,619

The cuts is quite not there.

 

1149

00:33:41,619 --> 00:33:42,720

I'm only

 

1150

00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:43,621

this never happened to me,

 

1151

00:33:43,621 --> 00:33:45,323

but I'm sure has happened to you before.

 

1152

00:33:45,323 --> 00:33:45,990

But

 

1153

00:33:46,357 --> 00:33:48,092

and then and then he just for whatever

 

1154

00:33:48,092 --> 00:33:49,861

reason, you're just stuck on it.

 

1155

00:33:49,861 --> 00:33:51,863

But if you ever set it down and walk away

 

1156

00:33:52,764 --> 00:33:53,364

and come back

 

1157

00:33:53,364 --> 00:33:55,033

and how easy it is when you do it

 

1158

00:33:55,033 --> 00:33:56,100

another time

 

1159

00:33:56,100 --> 00:33:57,402

because you're not hot anymore,

 

1160

00:33:57,402 --> 00:33:58,403

you're not upset about it,

 

1161

00:33:58,403 --> 00:33:59,470

you know what I mean?

 

1162

00:33:59,971 --> 00:34:02,840

So I think these are life skills that

 

1163

00:34:02,874 --> 00:34:03,975

that really help.

 

1164

00:34:03,975 --> 00:34:04,308

See, it's

 

1165

00:34:04,308 --> 00:34:05,209

those little comments

 

1166

00:34:05,209 --> 00:34:06,310

that you make about me

 

1167

00:34:06,310 --> 00:34:09,280

that is really that Peter feeds on.

 

1168

00:34:09,447 --> 00:34:12,250

OK. Well, it makes me happy if

 

1169

00:34:13,951 --> 00:34:15,153

you want me to be happy.

 

1170

00:34:15,153 --> 00:34:15,853

And you remember

 

1171

00:34:15,853 --> 00:34:17,388

pizza hockey player, he's a fighter.

 

1172

00:34:17,388 --> 00:34:18,056

Yeah.

 

1173

00:34:18,823 --> 00:34:19,824

He can throw.

 

1174

00:34:19,824 --> 00:34:22,493

Allegedly. OK, OK.

 

1175

00:34:23,094 --> 00:34:23,928

All right.

 

1176

00:34:25,263 --> 00:34:25,663

All right.

 

1177

00:34:25,663 --> 00:34:27,932

Let's talk about tips,

 

1178

00:34:28,866 --> 00:34:30,902

tips, happiness, habits.

 

1179

00:34:31,069 --> 00:34:33,404

I thought you said you said hips tips.

 

1180

00:34:33,871 --> 00:34:35,206

OK, tips,

 

1181

00:34:35,206 --> 00:34:38,810

tips on building those happiness habits.

 

1182

00:34:39,043 --> 00:34:39,944

OK.

 

1183

00:34:42,180 --> 00:34:43,581

And there you go.

 

1184

00:34:43,581 --> 00:34:45,483

Right off the bat, personal health

 

1185

00:34:45,483 --> 00:34:48,352

eating exercise.

 

1186

00:34:48,453 --> 00:34:49,454

Most importantly,

 

1187

00:34:49,454 --> 00:34:51,622

though, in this study was sleep.

 

1188

00:34:52,557 --> 00:34:53,191

And something

 

1189

00:34:53,191 --> 00:34:55,293

I learned about this sleeping.

 

1190

00:34:55,293 --> 00:34:58,396

It's not just getting your 8 hours.

 

1191

00:34:59,730 --> 00:35:02,800

It's the lead up to it.

 

1192

00:35:03,835 --> 00:35:05,336

They said that you should have like

 

1193

00:35:05,336 --> 00:35:07,405

a little bit of a winding down period

 

1194

00:35:09,273 --> 00:35:10,274

get some momentum

 

1195

00:35:10,274 --> 00:35:11,509

in a winding down period

 

1196

00:35:11,509 --> 00:35:12,677

and then go to bed

 

1197

00:35:12,677 --> 00:35:14,679

and then get your 8 hours

 

1198

00:35:14,679 --> 00:35:16,881

rather than, you know, like, say,

 

1199

00:35:17,315 --> 00:35:19,117

banging out emails

 

1200

00:35:19,117 --> 00:35:20,785

all night long and then,

 

1201

00:35:20,785 --> 00:35:22,820

you know, jumping in the sack.

 

1202

00:35:22,820 --> 00:35:23,488

You said that.

 

1203

00:35:23,488 --> 00:35:25,323

You should have like a cooldown period,

 

1204

00:35:25,323 --> 00:35:26,491

a winding down period.

 

1205

00:35:27,692 --> 00:35:29,727

I don't know if I've ever done that.

 

1206

00:35:29,727 --> 00:35:32,330

I don't even know what that looks like.

 

1207

00:35:32,330 --> 00:35:33,865

But I'll try it.

 

1208

00:35:33,865 --> 00:35:35,366

I'll try whatever.

 

1209

00:35:35,733 --> 00:35:37,268

When I was younger,

 

1210

00:35:37,268 --> 00:35:39,637

I needed a lot more sleep than I do now.

 

1211

00:35:39,637 --> 00:35:40,738

And I remember,

 

1212

00:35:40,738 --> 00:35:42,440

like doing floors and, you know,

 

1213

00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:43,875

you go to bed, tell them like a night

 

1214

00:35:43,875 --> 00:35:44,609

whenever you wake up

 

1215

00:35:44,609 --> 00:35:45,776

and you're exhausted,

 

1216

00:35:45,776 --> 00:35:46,477

you're tired, it's

 

1217

00:35:46,477 --> 00:35:47,879

hard to wake up in the morning.

 

1218

00:35:47,879 --> 00:35:49,981

You're driving to work and you're tired.

 

1219

00:35:49,981 --> 00:35:50,815

As I've gotten older,

 

1220

00:35:50,815 --> 00:35:52,183

I don't need as much sleep.

 

1221

00:35:52,183 --> 00:35:55,319

I well, I probably do, but I don't

 

1222

00:35:55,319 --> 00:35:55,720

I don't

 

1223

00:35:55,720 --> 00:35:57,288

I don't sleep as much, but I don't feel

 

1224

00:35:57,288 --> 00:35:58,356

I feel fine when I wake up,

 

1225

00:35:58,356 --> 00:35:58,823

you know what I mean?

 

1226

00:35:58,823 --> 00:36:00,391

I'm I'm ready to go.

 

1227

00:36:00,391 --> 00:36:02,593

And that's happened later in life.

 

1228

00:36:02,593 --> 00:36:03,895

And I'm sure

 

1229

00:36:03,895 --> 00:36:04,829

part of that is because

 

1230

00:36:04,829 --> 00:36:05,730

when you're doing floors, it's

 

1231

00:36:05,730 --> 00:36:06,631

a very physical job.

 

1232

00:36:06,631 --> 00:36:07,698

Me working your butt off

 

1233

00:36:07,698 --> 00:36:08,733

I mean, it's a hard job.

 

1234

00:36:08,733 --> 00:36:09,534

You're going to get tired,

 

1235

00:36:09,534 --> 00:36:11,435

your body needs rest,

 

1236

00:36:11,435 --> 00:36:13,571

let your body does need that rest.

 

1237

00:36:13,571 --> 00:36:14,906

And even for a young,

 

1238

00:36:14,906 --> 00:36:16,908

young kid, man, it's important

 

1239

00:36:16,908 --> 00:36:17,708

to get that sleep.

 

1240

00:36:17,708 --> 00:36:19,177

So I agree with you on that.

 

1241

00:36:19,177 --> 00:36:20,411

You have a routine, though,

 

1242

00:36:20,411 --> 00:36:22,647

where you just just go to bed whenever.

 

1243

00:36:22,647 --> 00:36:24,415

I'm pretty much in a routine.

 

1244

00:36:24,415 --> 00:36:26,350

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

 

1245

00:36:29,620 --> 00:36:30,454

All right.

 

1246

00:36:30,454 --> 00:36:31,422

Next one,

 

1247

00:36:32,590 --> 00:36:34,992

Social Connections.

 

1248

00:36:35,059 --> 00:36:36,594

And when I first read Social Connections,

 

1249

00:36:36,594 --> 00:36:37,595

I'm like social connections.

 

1250

00:36:37,595 --> 00:36:39,797

What the hell is it?

 

1251

00:36:39,797 --> 00:36:41,499

The social connections? Exactly what?

 

1252

00:36:41,499 --> 00:36:43,801

I started the show with the team,

 

1253

00:36:44,068 --> 00:36:45,203

the crew.

 

1254

00:36:45,336 --> 00:36:46,537

And this is going to be tough.

 

1255

00:36:46,537 --> 00:36:48,005

We got a lot of guys that

 

1256

00:36:48,005 --> 00:36:48,806

listen to the show.

 

1257

00:36:48,806 --> 00:36:50,608

I know that work alone,

 

1258

00:36:50,608 --> 00:36:52,510

so this is going to be a tough one.

 

1259

00:36:52,510 --> 00:36:54,712

And the what?

 

1260

00:36:54,745 --> 00:36:57,215

The the example they used

 

1261

00:36:57,215 --> 00:36:59,584

is if you're about to climb a mountain,

 

1262

00:37:00,851 --> 00:37:02,853

if you're climbing up by yourself,

 

1263

00:37:02,853 --> 00:37:04,555

when there's somebody standing

 

1264

00:37:04,555 --> 00:37:05,790

next to you

 

1265

00:37:05,790 --> 00:37:06,591

that yeah, you're

 

1266

00:37:06,591 --> 00:37:08,559

both going to climb that mountain.

 

1267

00:37:08,559 --> 00:37:11,562

The mountain looks 20% easier to do

 

1268

00:37:12,630 --> 00:37:13,331

when there's

 

1269

00:37:13,331 --> 00:37:16,367

when you're with the team and

 

1270

00:37:16,367 --> 00:37:18,502

but like they said, it's called

 

1271

00:37:18,502 --> 00:37:19,870

social connections.

 

1272

00:37:20,972 --> 00:37:22,006

But the social

 

1273

00:37:22,006 --> 00:37:24,642

support really matters

 

1274

00:37:25,109 --> 00:37:27,511

and you're going to get more productivity

 

1275

00:37:27,511 --> 00:37:29,213

if the team is working like a team.

 

1276

00:37:29,213 --> 00:37:30,548

And I go back to,

 

1277

00:37:30,548 --> 00:37:30,781

you know,

 

1278

00:37:30,781 --> 00:37:31,282

just the way

 

1279

00:37:31,282 --> 00:37:32,450

the Bruins are playing this year,

 

1280

00:37:32,450 --> 00:37:35,219

I mean, it's just it's Starkel to watch

 

1281

00:37:35,653 --> 00:37:36,420

because they're,

 

1282

00:37:36,420 --> 00:37:39,223

you know, they're like goofy and fun for,

 

1283

00:37:39,657 --> 00:37:41,926

you know, for a hockey team.

 

1284

00:37:43,027 --> 00:37:45,363

I watched the basketball game over

 

1285

00:37:45,363 --> 00:37:48,199

the of the the Christmas break.

 

1286

00:37:48,733 --> 00:37:50,434

I went to a basketball tournament

 

1287

00:37:50,434 --> 00:37:52,136

and some of the best

 

1288

00:37:52,203 --> 00:37:54,272

top ten teams around the country

 

1289

00:37:54,272 --> 00:37:55,873

and one team was getting

 

1290

00:37:55,873 --> 00:37:56,941

just getting lit up.

 

1291

00:37:56,941 --> 00:37:57,808

I mean, right off the bat

 

1292

00:37:57,808 --> 00:37:59,277

the other team jumped on them

 

1293

00:37:59,277 --> 00:37:59,944

and it was like

 

1294

00:37:59,944 --> 00:38:03,247

it was like a 19 to six lead

 

1295

00:38:03,247 --> 00:38:05,349

and then all of a sudden

 

1296

00:38:05,349 --> 00:38:08,486

you saw the other team pass the ball pass

 

1297

00:38:08,486 --> 00:38:10,488

pass, pass, pass, pass multiple time

 

1298

00:38:10,488 --> 00:38:12,290

before they went to the basket

 

1299

00:38:12,290 --> 00:38:13,057

and they,

 

1300

00:38:13,057 --> 00:38:14,292

they turned that around,

 

1301

00:38:14,292 --> 00:38:15,960

I mean, and by the end of the game

 

1302

00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:17,261

they blew them away.

 

1303

00:38:17,261 --> 00:38:18,229

But the other team, I thought,

 

1304

00:38:18,229 --> 00:38:20,031

well, gosh, this is a mismatch.

 

1305

00:38:20,031 --> 00:38:20,798

I mean, the other guys

 

1306

00:38:20,798 --> 00:38:21,632

that were there that jumped out

 

1307

00:38:21,632 --> 00:38:23,301

to a 19 to six lead, there were

 

1308

00:38:23,301 --> 00:38:23,634

the guy

 

1309

00:38:23,634 --> 00:38:25,836

was like a six foot nine and a 611

 

1310

00:38:26,103 --> 00:38:27,872

six, eight guys up front.

 

1311

00:38:27,872 --> 00:38:29,974

The other guys didn't have that size

 

1312

00:38:29,974 --> 00:38:30,608

so well.

 

1313

00:38:30,608 --> 00:38:31,909

I guess there's going to be a mismatch.

 

1314

00:38:31,909 --> 00:38:33,511

But then when you saw

 

1315

00:38:33,511 --> 00:38:34,679

him pass the ball, pass

 

1316

00:38:34,679 --> 00:38:36,747

the ball, pass the ball, pass the ball

 

1317

00:38:36,747 --> 00:38:39,583

and you, you can feel the energy at them.

 

1318

00:38:39,750 --> 00:38:41,819

Turn around is working as a team

 

1319

00:38:42,253 --> 00:38:43,921

and stop being selfish.

 

1320

00:38:43,921 --> 00:38:46,590

And they, they, they won the game.

 

1321

00:38:47,124 --> 00:38:48,893

But that to me is no different

 

1322

00:38:48,893 --> 00:38:50,094

than when you have a team of guys

 

1323

00:38:50,094 --> 00:38:53,798

working together and I said

 

1324

00:38:53,798 --> 00:38:55,299

this term many times before is

 

1325

00:38:55,299 --> 00:38:57,001

false hustle.

 

1326

00:38:57,001 --> 00:38:58,369

I hate seeing false hustle

 

1327

00:38:59,337 --> 00:39:00,104

where

 

1328

00:39:00,738 --> 00:39:03,207

you know, right now the job is to

 

1329

00:39:03,574 --> 00:39:06,844

scrape the corners or scrape the risers.

 

1330

00:39:07,445 --> 00:39:10,114

It's not picking up stuff off the floor.

 

1331

00:39:10,114 --> 00:39:10,848

It's not doing the,

 

1332

00:39:10,848 --> 00:39:12,149

you know, rounding, you know,

 

1333

00:39:12,149 --> 00:39:13,050

you know, taking the chords

 

1334

00:39:13,050 --> 00:39:14,118

and wiping the chords up.

 

1335

00:39:14,118 --> 00:39:15,786

No, that's not the job.

 

1336

00:39:15,786 --> 00:39:16,554

The job right now

 

1337

00:39:16,554 --> 00:39:18,456

is get your butt in that corner.

 

1338

00:39:18,456 --> 00:39:19,924

I want to see elbows in there.

 

1339

00:39:19,924 --> 00:39:22,426

Like my father, Lyle used to say,

 

1340

00:39:22,426 --> 00:39:24,362

and and get that done.

 

1341

00:39:24,362 --> 00:39:25,730

And when you have that kind of

 

1342

00:39:25,730 --> 00:39:27,565

where you trust each other

 

1343

00:39:27,565 --> 00:39:28,366

that, you know,

 

1344

00:39:28,366 --> 00:39:29,800

this guy is working as hard as me

 

1345

00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:31,168

I'm working. You know what I mean?

 

1346

00:39:31,168 --> 00:39:32,603

Everybody's in it together.

 

1347

00:39:32,603 --> 00:39:36,207

Then it goes so much, so much faster.

 

1348

00:39:36,207 --> 00:39:38,175

So much better. Absolutely.

 

1349

00:39:38,175 --> 00:39:40,277

Yeah, absolutely.

 

1350

00:39:42,079 --> 00:39:43,080

This next bullet,

 

1351

00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:45,116

this is just what you were touching on

 

1352

00:39:45,116 --> 00:39:46,050

before,

 

1353

00:39:46,050 --> 00:39:47,385

understanding your own

 

1354

00:39:47,385 --> 00:39:49,387

and other people's needs.

 

1355

00:39:49,387 --> 00:39:51,088

When building happiness on the team.

 

1356

00:39:52,056 --> 00:39:54,525

It's not a one size fits all.

 

1357

00:39:54,525 --> 00:39:55,659

And I know

 

1358

00:39:55,659 --> 00:39:56,460

I know

 

1359

00:39:56,460 --> 00:39:59,730

that we've talked about this many times

 

1360

00:39:59,730 --> 00:40:02,199

you know, some people are driven by

 

1361

00:40:03,300 --> 00:40:05,002

by different things, OK?

 

1362

00:40:05,002 --> 00:40:06,704

Some people are money driven.

 

1363

00:40:06,704 --> 00:40:10,074

Some people are driven by goals.

 

1364

00:40:10,541 --> 00:40:12,376

You know, me personally

 

1365

00:40:12,376 --> 00:40:14,178

and I told this to Bill Price

 

1366

00:40:14,178 --> 00:40:17,114

when I first got hired a bone, I go, man,

 

1367

00:40:17,114 --> 00:40:18,215

you slap me on the back

 

1368

00:40:18,215 --> 00:40:19,049

every once in a while.

 

1369

00:40:19,049 --> 00:40:20,651

Tell me I'm doing a great job.

 

1370

00:40:20,651 --> 00:40:23,454

I'll give you another hundred miles, man.

 

1371

00:40:23,487 --> 00:40:24,321

You know,

 

1372

00:40:24,321 --> 00:40:25,055

I mean, money's

 

1373

00:40:25,055 --> 00:40:26,123

nice and all that thing,

 

1374

00:40:26,123 --> 00:40:27,024

but I,

 

1375

00:40:27,024 --> 00:40:29,093

I like accolades and just like you said,

 

1376

00:40:29,994 --> 00:40:32,096

sometimes,

 

1377

00:40:32,163 --> 00:40:32,897

you know, there's

 

1378

00:40:32,897 --> 00:40:33,431

some people

 

1379

00:40:33,431 --> 00:40:34,165

that that's

 

1380

00:40:34,165 --> 00:40:35,132

what they respond to,

 

1381

00:40:35,132 --> 00:40:36,700

a good attaboy or something,

 

1382

00:40:36,700 --> 00:40:38,602

but it's definitely not a

 

1383

00:40:38,602 --> 00:40:40,471

one size fits all.

 

1384

00:40:40,471 --> 00:40:43,240

One of the toughest things you can do

 

1385

00:40:43,240 --> 00:40:45,209

is, is compromise,

 

1386

00:40:45,209 --> 00:40:45,943

especially if you're that

 

1387

00:40:45,943 --> 00:40:47,178

when you're the boss.

 

1388

00:40:47,178 --> 00:40:48,212

Because as old,

 

1389

00:40:48,212 --> 00:40:49,280

you know, attitude

 

1390

00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:50,481

when we grow up is I'm the boss.

 

1391

00:40:50,481 --> 00:40:51,982

It's my way or the highway.

 

1392

00:40:51,982 --> 00:40:53,984

His is a is a different game now.

 

1393

00:40:54,485 --> 00:40:57,154

And I, we have an employee that you know

 

1394

00:40:57,321 --> 00:40:58,322

if I say hey

 

1395

00:40:58,322 --> 00:41:00,157

we got to be at this job at 8:00,

 

1396

00:41:00,157 --> 00:41:01,358

this guy is not going to be there at 8:00

 

1397

00:41:01,358 --> 00:41:02,827

he's going to be there at 830

 

1398

00:41:02,827 --> 00:41:05,062

is what his routine is in the morning

 

1399

00:41:05,062 --> 00:41:07,331

where he stops for his coffee

 

1400

00:41:07,331 --> 00:41:08,766

what would drive me nuts?

 

1401

00:41:08,766 --> 00:41:10,134

I had to let it go

 

1402

00:41:10,134 --> 00:41:10,701

because he

 

1403

00:41:10,701 --> 00:41:12,102

when he got there, he was good,

 

1404

00:41:12,102 --> 00:41:13,437

he was happy and he did a thing.

 

1405

00:41:13,437 --> 00:41:13,904

But that's

 

1406

00:41:13,904 --> 00:41:16,106

so that's a compromise I had to make.

 

1407

00:41:16,106 --> 00:41:16,574

All right.

 

1408

00:41:16,574 --> 00:41:18,375

This guy is what he is

 

1409

00:41:18,375 --> 00:41:20,010

or a guy on a machine

 

1410

00:41:20,010 --> 00:41:21,812

might do something differently than me,

 

1411

00:41:21,812 --> 00:41:24,014

but he's getting the job done.

 

1412

00:41:24,014 --> 00:41:26,684

He's productive, the job is fine.

 

1413

00:41:26,684 --> 00:41:27,818

Just let it go.

 

1414

00:41:27,818 --> 00:41:29,420

So you have to find your spots.

 

1415

00:41:29,420 --> 00:41:30,754

There's certain

 

1416

00:41:30,754 --> 00:41:32,590

non-negotiables, obviously,

 

1417

00:41:32,590 --> 00:41:33,324

but there are certain areas

 

1418

00:41:33,324 --> 00:41:34,291

you got to let go.

 

1419

00:41:34,291 --> 00:41:35,192

You got to let that guy

 

1420

00:41:35,192 --> 00:41:36,694

you got to give him some rope

 

1421

00:41:36,694 --> 00:41:39,330

and then and then, you know,

 

1422

00:41:39,330 --> 00:41:39,830

trust that he's

 

1423

00:41:39,830 --> 00:41:40,898

going to do the right thing by it.

 

1424

00:41:40,898 --> 00:41:41,599

So, you know,

 

1425

00:41:41,599 --> 00:41:43,467

I think it's tough, too,

 

1426

00:41:43,467 --> 00:41:44,101

when you get older

 

1427

00:41:44,101 --> 00:41:45,603

stuff, tougher to compromise,

 

1428

00:41:45,603 --> 00:41:46,170

especially when you

 

1429

00:41:46,170 --> 00:41:47,571

grew up in an industry

 

1430

00:41:47,571 --> 00:41:49,940

that was uncompromising, you know? Yeah.

 

1431

00:41:50,241 --> 00:41:51,242

You know, my foreman's

 

1432

00:41:51,242 --> 00:41:52,409

we have we're talking to

 

1433

00:41:52,409 --> 00:41:54,278

you like you're a dog. I mean,

 

1434

00:41:55,646 --> 00:41:57,081

that's just the way it was.

 

1435

00:41:57,081 --> 00:41:58,015

I mean, they talk to you

 

1436

00:41:58,015 --> 00:41:59,683

like you're a dog

 

1437

00:41:59,683 --> 00:42:02,019

and the next guy, you don't want the job.

 

1438

00:42:02,019 --> 00:42:05,155

This next guy in line, get out and do.

 

1439

00:42:05,222 --> 00:42:07,892

Do you think about complaining

 

1440

00:42:08,492 --> 00:42:09,927

but it's a different game now

 

1441

00:42:09,927 --> 00:42:11,495

so that being able to

 

1442

00:42:11,495 --> 00:42:13,497

compromise is just part of the game.

 

1443

00:42:13,497 --> 00:42:15,232

But on the other hand,

 

1444

00:42:15,299 --> 00:42:16,467

if you're on the other side of that,

 

1445

00:42:16,467 --> 00:42:18,068

you have to recognize that

 

1446

00:42:18,068 --> 00:42:19,203

you know, it's a two way street.

 

1447

00:42:19,203 --> 00:42:21,338

You have to honor that and respect that.

 

1448

00:42:21,805 --> 00:42:24,208

You know, it's funny you said that I.

 

1449

00:42:24,808 --> 00:42:26,911

I helped him on a job not too long ago.

 

1450

00:42:27,611 --> 00:42:29,747

And him and I

 

1451

00:42:30,180 --> 00:42:32,583

for years had trouble working together

 

1452

00:42:33,984 --> 00:42:36,520

as he got older and more involved in it.

 

1453

00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:40,824

And learn more and and listen, I'll admit

 

1454

00:42:40,858 --> 00:42:43,060

I'm the first one to admit he is

 

1455

00:42:43,060 --> 00:42:44,828

better at doing flaws than I am.

 

1456

00:42:46,096 --> 00:42:47,665

Even, even Pete was saying

 

1457

00:42:47,665 --> 00:42:48,532

it the other day.

 

1458

00:42:48,532 --> 00:42:49,433

He goes

 

1459

00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:51,402

I went and looked at one of his state

 

1460

00:42:51,402 --> 00:42:52,303

jobs, and,

 

1461

00:42:52,303 --> 00:42:54,605

you know, I couldn't believe it.

 

1462

00:42:54,705 --> 00:42:55,639

He said it looked like a pre

 

1463

00:42:55,639 --> 00:42:57,241

finished floor

 

1464

00:42:57,841 --> 00:42:59,677

but he's a perfectionist

 

1465

00:42:59,677 --> 00:43:01,679

and have stone feet.

 

1466

00:43:01,679 --> 00:43:03,180

I go, you know, when you retire

 

1467

00:43:03,180 --> 00:43:05,149

and you might get back in the game

 

1468

00:43:05,149 --> 00:43:06,383

a little bit and working with him

 

1469

00:43:06,383 --> 00:43:06,750

I said,

 

1470

00:43:06,750 --> 00:43:09,219

I found a brand new way to work with him

 

1471

00:43:09,219 --> 00:43:10,588

because for years, you know,

 

1472

00:43:10,588 --> 00:43:11,355

if he didn't like the way

 

1473

00:43:11,355 --> 00:43:12,022

I was doing something,

 

1474

00:43:12,022 --> 00:43:14,358

he did not mind saying,

 

1475

00:43:14,358 --> 00:43:15,826

hey, you know, do this.

 

1476

00:43:15,826 --> 00:43:16,226

Do that,

 

1477

00:43:16,226 --> 00:43:17,428

you know, it's like,

 

1478

00:43:17,428 --> 00:43:19,663

well, are you telling me, you know?

 

1479

00:43:19,697 --> 00:43:21,498

Yeah, right.

 

1480

00:43:21,498 --> 00:43:22,666

So the last Chubb

 

1481

00:43:22,666 --> 00:43:25,035

last couple of jobs him and I worked on,

 

1482

00:43:25,035 --> 00:43:25,836

he had said something

 

1483

00:43:25,836 --> 00:43:27,171

and I said, yeah, sure, go right ahead.

 

1484

00:43:27,171 --> 00:43:27,504

Do it.

 

1485

00:43:28,706 --> 00:43:31,308

And I'll tell you, by just,

 

1486

00:43:31,308 --> 00:43:33,611

you know, not having an ego

 

1487

00:43:33,611 --> 00:43:35,613

and not getting into look

 

1488

00:43:35,613 --> 00:43:37,181

we're going to be putting sealer down.

 

1489

00:43:37,181 --> 00:43:38,449

You're not going to see that

 

1490

00:43:38,449 --> 00:43:40,551

when you put sealer on it, you're a nut.

 

1491

00:43:41,485 --> 00:43:42,620

No.

 

1492

00:43:42,686 --> 00:43:45,122

And I now our happy place is

 

1493

00:43:45,522 --> 00:43:46,724

I said to Pete, I go,

 

1494

00:43:46,724 --> 00:43:48,092

so I'll do whatever the hell he wants.

 

1495

00:43:48,092 --> 00:43:49,059

He does a good job.

 

1496

00:43:49,059 --> 00:43:50,461

There's no taking away from him.

 

1497

00:43:50,461 --> 00:43:52,763

So it makes him happy.

 

1498

00:43:52,997 --> 00:43:53,831

I'm happy.

 

1499

00:43:53,831 --> 00:43:55,866

There's no babbling and everything.

 

1500

00:43:56,367 --> 00:43:57,935

And I think I don't know

 

1501

00:43:57,935 --> 00:43:59,336

if it's something that, you know,

 

1502

00:43:59,336 --> 00:44:02,406

I just realize as you get older,

 

1503

00:44:02,406 --> 00:44:04,141

I don't maybe I don't have to fight

 

1504

00:44:04,141 --> 00:44:05,209

every fight

 

1505

00:44:05,209 --> 00:44:07,144

that's out there now, you know?

 

1506

00:44:07,144 --> 00:44:07,678

Well,

 

1507

00:44:07,678 --> 00:44:08,112

it's funny

 

1508

00:44:08,112 --> 00:44:10,047

you should say that, because

 

1509

00:44:10,047 --> 00:44:11,615

here's the other side of that.

 

1510

00:44:11,615 --> 00:44:13,717

My father in law was a genius.

 

1511

00:44:13,884 --> 00:44:14,852

I've never met

 

1512

00:44:14,852 --> 00:44:16,620

he was a construction superintendent

 

1513

00:44:16,620 --> 00:44:17,521

and he was a legend.

 

1514

00:44:17,521 --> 00:44:19,690

Anybody that knew of this company

 

1515

00:44:19,690 --> 00:44:20,024

would

 

1516

00:44:20,024 --> 00:44:21,258

they would always bring up his name.

 

1517

00:44:21,258 --> 00:44:23,460

There was nobody like Tony O'Toole

 

1518

00:44:23,460 --> 00:44:24,828

and his son

 

1519

00:44:24,828 --> 00:44:26,063

went to work for him as a carpenter,

 

1520

00:44:26,063 --> 00:44:27,965

and his son's a bright guy,

 

1521

00:44:27,965 --> 00:44:30,200

and they could not work together.

 

1522

00:44:30,601 --> 00:44:31,635

It was comical to me

 

1523

00:44:31,635 --> 00:44:32,770

if they were working in the house

 

1524

00:44:34,171 --> 00:44:34,805

if they were going to,

 

1525

00:44:34,805 --> 00:44:35,205

they're going to lay

 

1526

00:44:35,205 --> 00:44:36,473

tile in the bathroom, whatever.

 

1527

00:44:36,473 --> 00:44:37,474

I mean,

 

1528

00:44:38,876 --> 00:44:40,878

within 5 minutes, it was World War Three.

 

1529

00:44:41,512 --> 00:44:42,680

World War three.

 

1530

00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:43,247

And they

 

1531

00:44:43,247 --> 00:44:44,348

they never resolved it

 

1532

00:44:44,348 --> 00:44:45,849

their entire lives.

 

1533

00:44:45,849 --> 00:44:46,950

They never got to a point

 

1534

00:44:46,950 --> 00:44:48,786

where one would give.

 

1535

00:44:48,786 --> 00:44:49,920

And I used to think, look, he's

 

1536

00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:50,587

your dad, man.

 

1537

00:44:50,587 --> 00:44:51,121

He's helping you.

 

1538

00:44:51,121 --> 00:44:52,856

You're lucky you got this help.

 

1539

00:44:52,856 --> 00:44:55,659

And and or or the old man.

 

1540

00:44:55,659 --> 00:44:56,727

Yeah, he's your kid, man.

 

1541

00:44:56,727 --> 00:44:57,494

You know, he's

 

1542

00:44:58,195 --> 00:44:59,963

he's trying to spread his wings, too.

 

1543

00:44:59,963 --> 00:45:01,231

But you would never neither

 

1544

00:45:01,231 --> 00:45:02,433

one of them ever compromised.

 

1545

00:45:02,433 --> 00:45:04,401

And he never enjoyed working together.

 

1546

00:45:04,401 --> 00:45:05,769

And it was a shame.

 

1547

00:45:05,803 --> 00:45:07,971

You know,

 

1548

00:45:08,305 --> 00:45:09,039

and it was funny

 

1549

00:45:09,039 --> 00:45:10,908

because I was laughing about

 

1550

00:45:10,908 --> 00:45:12,643

I said the bomb at the end of the.

 

1551

00:45:12,643 --> 00:45:13,610

Job, I go.

 

1552

00:45:13,744 --> 00:45:15,512

Hey, you notice anything different?

 

1553

00:45:15,512 --> 00:45:16,080

And he goes, Yeah,

 

1554

00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:17,481

we got along pretty good, you know?

 

1555

00:45:17,481 --> 00:45:20,117

And even he kind of picked up on it.

 

1556

00:45:20,117 --> 00:45:21,285

And I said, yeah, you know why?

 

1557

00:45:21,285 --> 00:45:22,453

Because I just love to do whatever the

 

1558

00:45:22,453 --> 00:45:24,154

hell you want. There you go.

 

1559

00:45:25,189 --> 00:45:27,291

And everything looks great, you know?

 

1560

00:45:27,291 --> 00:45:28,058

So

 

1561

00:45:31,695 --> 00:45:32,062

you know,

 

1562

00:45:32,062 --> 00:45:34,431

we had talked in the last podcast about

 

1563

00:45:36,066 --> 00:45:38,135

taking a look at the negatives, right?

 

1564

00:45:38,135 --> 00:45:40,204

So you don't repeat the negatives

 

1565

00:45:40,204 --> 00:45:41,739

from last year.

 

1566

00:45:41,739 --> 00:45:44,942

But you know, since this is a podcast

 

1567

00:45:44,942 --> 00:45:48,212

on being happy and happiness,

 

1568

00:45:48,212 --> 00:45:49,646

one of the things that I really liked

 

1569

00:45:49,646 --> 00:45:51,648

when I read this was

 

1570

00:45:51,648 --> 00:45:54,451

focusing on last year's positives

 

1571

00:45:55,352 --> 00:45:57,521

because one of the things that,

 

1572

00:45:58,288 --> 00:46:00,891

well, I like I know, you know,

 

1573

00:46:00,891 --> 00:46:03,527

you're national, he's a sales manager

 

1574

00:46:03,527 --> 00:46:04,795

right now.

 

1575

00:46:04,795 --> 00:46:07,798

Your number is at zero

 

1576

00:46:07,865 --> 00:46:09,800

and you're thinking of, oh my God,

 

1577

00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:11,301

I'm it's zero.

 

1578

00:46:11,969 --> 00:46:14,304

Where if you focus on the positives

 

1579

00:46:14,304 --> 00:46:16,173

from last year,

 

1580

00:46:16,173 --> 00:46:17,941

it's a quick start to the new year

 

1581

00:46:17,941 --> 00:46:19,276

rather than feeling

 

1582

00:46:19,276 --> 00:46:21,345

like we're starting at zero

 

1583

00:46:22,412 --> 00:46:23,213

and last year's

 

1584

00:46:23,213 --> 00:46:23,947

accomplishments

 

1585

00:46:23,947 --> 00:46:25,783

is going to help this year

 

1586

00:46:25,783 --> 00:46:27,351

with some really good momentum

 

1587

00:46:27,351 --> 00:46:28,085

and excitement

 

1588

00:46:28,085 --> 00:46:30,654

building off of last year's positive.

 

1589

00:46:30,654 --> 00:46:32,856

Yeah, I was like, wow, that.

 

1590

00:46:32,856 --> 00:46:33,857

That makes a whole hell of

 

1591

00:46:33,857 --> 00:46:35,192

a lot of sense. Yeah.

 

1592

00:46:36,527 --> 00:46:36,693

You're

 

1593

00:46:36,693 --> 00:46:38,829

still at zero yeah.

 

1594

00:46:39,696 --> 00:46:41,999

But but here's the thing, too, and I know

 

1595

00:46:42,466 --> 00:46:43,500

people hear me say this a lot,

 

1596

00:46:43,500 --> 00:46:44,902

but I really do

 

1597

00:46:44,902 --> 00:46:45,302

wish people

 

1598

00:46:45,302 --> 00:46:46,470

would pat themselves on the back

 

1599

00:46:46,470 --> 00:46:48,605

more and and really hope they realize,

 

1600

00:46:49,173 --> 00:46:50,174

you know,

 

1601

00:46:50,240 --> 00:46:52,042

how important it is to do this job,

 

1602

00:46:52,042 --> 00:46:54,044

especially of these guys with longevity

 

1603

00:46:54,044 --> 00:46:55,712

been doing for years and years.

 

1604

00:46:55,712 --> 00:46:57,080

I really think it's important

 

1605

00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:58,048

that you acknowledge that.

 

1606

00:46:58,048 --> 00:46:58,682

And you, you know,

 

1607

00:46:58,682 --> 00:47:00,417

you, you find that in yourself

 

1608

00:47:00,417 --> 00:47:03,787

and appreciate that about yourself

 

1609

00:47:03,787 --> 00:47:04,454

and yeah.

 

1610

00:47:04,454 --> 00:47:05,722

And even right down

 

1611

00:47:05,722 --> 00:47:06,757

here, the positive things

 

1612

00:47:06,757 --> 00:47:08,091

we did last year yeah.

 

1613

00:47:08,091 --> 00:47:08,358

I mean,

 

1614

00:47:08,358 --> 00:47:09,660

you think about it,

 

1615

00:47:09,660 --> 00:47:11,762

if you did 50 jobs last year,

 

1616

00:47:11,762 --> 00:47:12,529

I'd say most

 

1617

00:47:12,529 --> 00:47:13,463

people get through this

 

1618

00:47:13,463 --> 00:47:14,231

without having to do

 

1619

00:47:14,231 --> 00:47:15,833

any stand overs, right?

 

1620

00:47:15,833 --> 00:47:17,100

Maybe you got one or two.

 

1621

00:47:17,100 --> 00:47:18,001

OK,

 

1622

00:47:18,202 --> 00:47:19,670

look how many times

 

1623

00:47:19,670 --> 00:47:21,839

you had to be damn near perfect

 

1624

00:47:21,839 --> 00:47:23,040

to get paid.

 

1625

00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:24,241

I mean, you really in

 

1626

00:47:24,241 --> 00:47:25,576

this climate, man, I mean,

 

1627

00:47:26,510 --> 00:47:27,211

you know,

 

1628

00:47:27,211 --> 00:47:27,811

customers are

 

1629

00:47:27,811 --> 00:47:29,646

more aware than ever before.

 

1630

00:47:29,646 --> 00:47:31,949

The standards seem to be more elevated.

 

1631

00:47:31,949 --> 00:47:32,649

And

 

1632

00:47:32,916 --> 00:47:35,118

and you went into some people's houses

 

1633

00:47:35,352 --> 00:47:37,154

and you got paid for doing this craft.

 

1634

00:47:37,154 --> 00:47:39,056

I think it's it's amazing.

 

1635

00:47:39,056 --> 00:47:40,991

And I hope people do.

 

1636

00:47:40,991 --> 00:47:43,293

And I think that I know

 

1637

00:47:43,293 --> 00:47:44,761

you get caught up in the game so much

 

1638

00:47:44,761 --> 00:47:45,963

when you're doing it that you don't

 

1639

00:47:45,963 --> 00:47:46,897

you don't recognize it.

 

1640

00:47:46,897 --> 00:47:48,599

Or acknowledge it when at the time.

 

1641

00:47:48,599 --> 00:47:51,168

So I think that's a mistake that I made,

 

1642

00:47:52,469 --> 00:47:52,703

you know,

 

1643

00:47:52,703 --> 00:47:54,371

but sometimes a journey man is like

 

1644

00:47:54,371 --> 00:47:55,072

they say the is

 

1645

00:47:55,072 --> 00:47:57,174

that's better than the destination

 

1646

00:47:57,174 --> 00:47:59,409

so I think it's important to do that

 

1647

00:47:59,409 --> 00:48:01,278

and recognize that and

 

1648

00:48:01,278 --> 00:48:02,212

and recognize

 

1649

00:48:02,212 --> 00:48:02,913

that people around you

 

1650

00:48:02,913 --> 00:48:05,215

that have helped you in any way at all,

 

1651

00:48:05,215 --> 00:48:06,350

any way at all the

 

1652

00:48:06,350 --> 00:48:07,384

guys behind the counter

 

1653

00:48:08,352 --> 00:48:09,887

are such a good help

 

1654

00:48:09,887 --> 00:48:11,321

you know, to give them a

 

1655

00:48:11,321 --> 00:48:12,189

hey man you know

 

1656

00:48:12,189 --> 00:48:13,290

we've got a lot of come in here

 

1657

00:48:13,290 --> 00:48:14,224

a lot of times last year

 

1658

00:48:14,224 --> 00:48:15,425

you always had the pride for us.

 

1659

00:48:15,425 --> 00:48:16,660

We thank you for that.

 

1660

00:48:16,660 --> 00:48:17,794

Thanks for your partnership

 

1661

00:48:17,794 --> 00:48:18,195

and everything

 

1662

00:48:18,195 --> 00:48:19,196

because it is a partnership

 

1663

00:48:19,196 --> 00:48:20,464

there in it, too.

 

1664

00:48:20,464 --> 00:48:21,231

There is no easy job

 

1665

00:48:21,231 --> 00:48:22,599

in this law business

 

1666

00:48:22,599 --> 00:48:24,835

now working behind that counter.

 

1667

00:48:24,835 --> 00:48:27,004

There really isn't. You're right there.

 

1668

00:48:27,004 --> 00:48:28,639

There's not an easy job here.

 

1669

00:48:28,639 --> 00:48:29,940

You're right. Yeah.

 

1670

00:48:30,240 --> 00:48:30,540

Yeah.

 

1671

00:48:30,540 --> 00:48:32,476

So, I mean, what it would mean

 

1672

00:48:32,476 --> 00:48:33,477

to the guy behind the counter,

 

1673

00:48:33,477 --> 00:48:34,511

you say, man,

 

1674

00:48:34,511 --> 00:48:35,846

shake the shake the guys in

 

1675

00:48:35,846 --> 00:48:36,880

I really appreciate everything

 

1676

00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:37,915

last year you did for us

 

1677

00:48:37,915 --> 00:48:39,883

and and I appreciate everything.

 

1678

00:48:39,883 --> 00:48:42,386

And it goes, Miles, man, he goes, Miles.

 

1679

00:48:42,386 --> 00:48:43,153

So.

 

1680

00:48:43,186 --> 00:48:43,720

You know,

 

1681

00:48:43,720 --> 00:48:45,856

I'm not pat myself on the back but it's

 

1682

00:48:45,856 --> 00:48:47,357

little things, OK?

 

1683

00:48:48,625 --> 00:48:49,927

I was buying something.

 

1684

00:48:49,927 --> 00:48:52,529

I had to go grab something.

 

1685

00:48:52,796 --> 00:48:54,731

Christmas, Christmas night.

 

1686

00:48:54,731 --> 00:48:55,933

It convenience store.

 

1687

00:48:55,933 --> 00:48:58,268

I go, I picked up,

 

1688

00:48:58,268 --> 00:48:59,503

but I walked in

 

1689

00:48:59,503 --> 00:49:01,271

and this kid at the counter was like,

 

1690

00:49:01,271 --> 00:49:02,973

hey, merry Christmas.

 

1691

00:49:02,973 --> 00:49:04,241

And I'm thinking, you know,

 

1692

00:49:04,241 --> 00:49:04,574

there's

 

1693

00:49:04,574 --> 00:49:06,009

this poor bastard working

 

1694

00:49:06,009 --> 00:49:08,478

Christmas Day, right?

 

1695

00:49:08,478 --> 00:49:10,847

God knows how long he's been there.

 

1696

00:49:10,847 --> 00:49:12,549

Christmas Day.

 

1697

00:49:12,549 --> 00:49:14,751

Big smile on his face.

 

1698

00:49:14,751 --> 00:49:15,585

Wishing everybody

 

1699

00:49:15,585 --> 00:49:16,353

who walked through the door

 

1700

00:49:16,353 --> 00:49:18,255

Merry Christmas. Yeah.

 

1701

00:49:18,255 --> 00:49:18,922

So I said, oh,

 

1702

00:49:18,922 --> 00:49:21,024

give me that $5 scratch ticket there.

 

1703

00:49:21,792 --> 00:49:22,893

And he gave me a ticket,

 

1704

00:49:22,893 --> 00:49:23,627

and I just turned around,

 

1705

00:49:23,627 --> 00:49:24,361

handed back to him.

 

1706

00:49:24,361 --> 00:49:26,063

I go here, merry Christmas, man.

 

1707

00:49:26,063 --> 00:49:27,597

And oh, my God,

 

1708

00:49:27,597 --> 00:49:28,332

you should have seen

 

1709

00:49:28,332 --> 00:49:29,199

the look in this kid's

 

1710

00:49:29,199 --> 00:49:32,235

face, you know, for $5,

 

1711

00:49:32,235 --> 00:49:33,203

I they would hope

 

1712

00:49:33,203 --> 00:49:33,971

that he would want

 

1713

00:49:33,971 --> 00:49:35,405

some money off of the damn thing.

 

1714

00:49:35,405 --> 00:49:37,841

But I have a problem with that.

 

1715

00:49:37,841 --> 00:49:39,843

I'll I really do.

 

1716

00:49:40,177 --> 00:49:41,645

I probably wouldn't have done it

 

1717

00:49:41,645 --> 00:49:43,914

if the kid wasn't so nice and said, Hey,

 

1718

00:49:44,581 --> 00:49:45,615

Merry Christmas to me.

 

1719

00:49:45,615 --> 00:49:45,849

You know,

 

1720

00:49:45,849 --> 00:49:47,150

as soon as I walk through the door

 

1721

00:49:47,150 --> 00:49:49,019

very happy. You know.

 

1722

00:49:49,019 --> 00:49:49,753

If there's one thing

 

1723

00:49:49,753 --> 00:49:50,887

I'm not going to buy, somebody is

 

1724

00:49:50,887 --> 00:49:51,655

lottery tickets.

 

1725

00:49:54,291 --> 00:49:56,159

That dude cashed out for.

 

1726

00:49:56,159 --> 00:49:59,262

Oh, he won $3 million

 

1727

00:49:59,730 --> 00:50:00,931

that's a problem.

 

1728

00:50:00,931 --> 00:50:03,367

Wow. You know what I mean?

 

1729

00:50:03,367 --> 00:50:04,735

I'll give the guy five bucks,

 

1730

00:50:04,735 --> 00:50:05,302

or I'll do whatever,

 

1731

00:50:05,302 --> 00:50:06,336

but I'm not buying anybody

 

1732

00:50:06,336 --> 00:50:07,537

a lottery ticket.

 

1733

00:50:07,537 --> 00:50:09,506

Just in case they win of.

 

1734

00:50:09,506 --> 00:50:10,307

Course.

 

1735

00:50:10,307 --> 00:50:11,541

That's the reason.

 

1736

00:50:11,541 --> 00:50:13,110

Of 100%.

 

1737

00:50:13,110 --> 00:50:16,646

Didn't we just do a 45 minute show

 

1738

00:50:16,980 --> 00:50:18,682

on being happy.

 

1739

00:50:18,682 --> 00:50:22,252

I'm that look.

 

1740

00:50:22,252 --> 00:50:23,820

That's got to do with being happy.

 

1741

00:50:23,820 --> 00:50:25,922

You are talking about making me unhappy.

 

1742

00:50:25,922 --> 00:50:28,392

If I give somebody

 

1743

00:50:29,192 --> 00:50:31,762

a, you know, $30 million lottery ticket

 

1744

00:50:32,529 --> 00:50:33,764

that falls under the category

 

1745

00:50:33,764 --> 00:50:35,632

now, stupid.

 

1746

00:50:35,632 --> 00:50:37,601

So, hey, honey, guess what happened.

 

1747

00:50:37,601 --> 00:50:38,568

Oh, you're not going to believe this.

 

1748

00:50:38,568 --> 00:50:39,169

I work today.

 

1749

00:50:39,169 --> 00:50:39,970

Yeah,

 

1750

00:50:39,970 --> 00:50:42,105

I really like the guy behind 7-Eleven,

 

1751

00:50:42,105 --> 00:50:43,340

so I got him

 

1752

00:50:43,340 --> 00:50:45,409

a $5 scratch off lottery ticket,

 

1753

00:50:45,409 --> 00:50:47,144

and he won 3 million bucks in that great

 

1754

00:50:49,246 --> 00:50:49,880

that's not great.

 

1755

00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:50,947

That's bad.

 

1756

00:50:51,148 --> 00:50:52,082

Wow.

 

1757

00:50:52,082 --> 00:50:53,150

You got a different way

 

1758

00:50:53,150 --> 00:50:54,785

of looking at things, man.

 

1759

00:50:54,785 --> 00:50:55,385

Are you telling me

 

1760

00:50:55,385 --> 00:50:57,320

that you'd be OK with that?

 

1761

00:51:00,457 --> 00:51:01,191

Rob.

 

1762

00:51:01,358 --> 00:51:01,725

I.

 

1763

00:51:01,725 --> 00:51:03,226

I'm thinking,

 

1764

00:51:03,393 --> 00:51:05,395

well, I have to be OK with it.

 

1765

00:51:05,395 --> 00:51:06,763

What are I going to

 

1766

00:51:07,264 --> 00:51:08,065

let it?

 

1767

00:51:08,965 --> 00:51:10,200

And maybe I'll give him a buzz,

 

1768

00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:11,668

and he could, you know,

 

1769

00:51:11,668 --> 00:51:12,836

maybe he'll give me a chunk.

 

1770

00:51:12,836 --> 00:51:13,837

I don't know.

 

1771

00:51:15,138 --> 00:51:16,106

OK.

 

1772

00:51:16,606 --> 00:51:18,642

If you were that guy at the counter

 

1773

00:51:18,642 --> 00:51:20,043

and you won,

 

1774

00:51:20,043 --> 00:51:20,911

would you keep it all

 

1775

00:51:20,911 --> 00:51:23,013

or try to find the guy who gave it to you

 

1776

00:51:23,346 --> 00:51:24,848

and split it with him?

 

1777

00:51:24,848 --> 00:51:26,349

I keep every dime of it.

 

1778

00:51:26,349 --> 00:51:27,084

Yeah,

 

1779

00:51:31,621 --> 00:51:33,623

but you know what I would do?

 

1780

00:51:33,623 --> 00:51:35,659

I'd buy him a $5 lottery ticket.

 

1781

00:51:37,727 --> 00:51:38,628

OK?

 

1782

00:51:39,729 --> 00:51:40,931

I don't know what I'd do.

 

1783

00:51:40,931 --> 00:51:41,331

I'm sure.

 

1784

00:51:41,331 --> 00:51:42,833

I don't know, man.

 

1785

00:51:42,833 --> 00:51:45,268

Happiness is not a result.

 

1786

00:51:45,268 --> 00:51:46,803

It's a choice

 

1787

00:51:46,803 --> 00:51:48,538

that needs to be cultivated, buddy.

 

1788

00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:50,941

Yep.

 

1789

00:51:50,941 --> 00:51:53,210

I know. We talked about that. I do.

 

1790

00:51:53,210 --> 00:51:54,744

I think that's something.

 

1791

00:51:54,744 --> 00:51:55,445

Some for some people,

 

1792

00:51:55,445 --> 00:51:56,746

you have to work on it.

 

1793

00:51:56,746 --> 00:51:58,748

Yeah, and it is a choice.

 

1794

00:51:58,748 --> 00:52:00,383

I mean, you be miserable or whatever.

 

1795

00:52:00,383 --> 00:52:02,252

I mean, I perception,

 

1796

00:52:02,252 --> 00:52:03,787

you know, it is reality.

 

1797

00:52:03,787 --> 00:52:04,721

They say you can

 

1798

00:52:04,721 --> 00:52:05,922

be miserable or whatever.

 

1799

00:52:05,922 --> 00:52:07,124

Or you could just

 

1800

00:52:07,124 --> 00:52:08,525

you could just try to try

 

1801

00:52:08,525 --> 00:52:11,661

to see the positive and,

 

1802

00:52:11,661 --> 00:52:12,929

you know, like I said, the guy working

 

1803

00:52:12,929 --> 00:52:13,563

behind the counter

 

1804

00:52:13,563 --> 00:52:14,865

probably makes a hell of a lot less money

 

1805

00:52:14,865 --> 00:52:15,332

than you do.

 

1806

00:52:15,332 --> 00:52:17,934

And he had a good attitude, you know, so.

 

1807

00:52:19,569 --> 00:52:20,570

So next time up,

 

1808

00:52:20,570 --> 00:52:22,472

I don't know, buy him a muffin.

 

1809

00:52:22,472 --> 00:52:24,107

My yeah.

 

1810

00:52:24,107 --> 00:52:25,609

Anything but a ticket.

 

1811

00:52:25,609 --> 00:52:27,110

Anything but a lottery ticket I'm

 

1812

00:52:27,110 --> 00:52:28,478

giving away. Yeah. All right.

 

1813

00:52:29,813 --> 00:52:31,748

OK, well.

 

1814

00:52:31,748 --> 00:52:33,817

Now you got me thinking like art is.

 

1815

00:52:34,084 --> 00:52:34,651

Yeah,

 

1816

00:52:36,186 --> 00:52:39,055

go back to the guy if

 

1817

00:52:39,055 --> 00:52:40,991

see. OK, he's not there anymore.

 

1818

00:52:40,991 --> 00:52:42,993

He cashed out and he moved to Miami.

 

1819

00:52:42,993 --> 00:52:43,860

Yeah, there you go.

 

1820

00:52:43,860 --> 00:52:45,662

Yeah, he's out of here.

 

1821

00:52:45,662 --> 00:52:46,530

Mm hmm.

 

1822

00:52:47,430 --> 00:52:48,932

OK, Rob, the good stuff.

 

1823

00:52:48,932 --> 00:52:49,533

I say

 

1824

00:52:49,533 --> 00:52:50,867

we, you know, I really do

 

1825

00:52:50,867 --> 00:52:51,735

think is important

 

1826

00:52:51,735 --> 00:52:53,436

because attitude is everything.

 

1827

00:52:53,436 --> 00:52:53,870

I mean,

 

1828

00:52:53,870 --> 00:52:54,671

you look at the numbers

 

1829

00:52:54,671 --> 00:52:55,505

you put out with

 

1830

00:52:55,505 --> 00:52:57,807

those Harvard studies is shocking.

 

1831

00:52:57,807 --> 00:53:00,076

And so in a way, man

 

1832

00:53:00,277 --> 00:53:02,579

absolutely blew me away.

 

1833

00:53:02,579 --> 00:53:03,914

And it's everybody's business.

 

1834

00:53:03,914 --> 00:53:06,349

It's it's, you know, everybody working.

 

1835

00:53:06,349 --> 00:53:07,651

They're the owners.

 

1836

00:53:07,651 --> 00:53:09,119

You're self and everything.

 

1837

00:53:09,119 --> 00:53:10,420

I think it is a

 

1838

00:53:10,420 --> 00:53:11,054

is a good time

 

1839

00:53:11,054 --> 00:53:12,355

to start looking at it that way.

 

1840

00:53:12,355 --> 00:53:14,457

So maybe on the way out,

 

1841

00:53:14,457 --> 00:53:15,692

Chris can play that happy

 

1842

00:53:15,692 --> 00:53:17,527

song by Pharrell.

 

1843

00:53:17,527 --> 00:53:18,328

Yeah.

 

1844

00:53:18,828 --> 00:53:20,463

Yes, sir. Yeah.

 

1845

00:53:20,463 --> 00:53:21,498

I don't know if we have the rights

 

1846

00:53:21,498 --> 00:53:22,933

that we have.

 

1847

00:53:22,933 --> 00:53:24,234

You know, I don't think we can afford to.

 

1848

00:53:24,234 --> 00:53:25,335

So we're going to do our usual

 

1849

00:53:26,369 --> 00:53:27,871

happy song Mm hmm.

 

1850

00:53:27,871 --> 00:53:29,573

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm hmm

 

1851

00:53:29,573 --> 00:53:31,274

hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm.

 

1852

00:53:31,274 --> 00:53:33,610

Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm. Hmm hmm.

 

1853

00:53:34,077 --> 00:53:35,912

Even that song makes me.

 

1854

00:53:35,912 --> 00:53:37,547

Want to yeah.

 

1855

00:53:37,547 --> 00:53:38,949

I want to dance a little bit.

 

1856

00:53:38,949 --> 00:53:41,051

Oh, there you go. Save it for later.

 

1857

00:53:41,051 --> 00:53:42,052

Save it. Yeah.

 

1858

00:53:42,052 --> 00:53:43,653

All right, Rob, thank you very much.

 

1859

00:53:43,653 --> 00:53:45,522
