[01:16]   Oh, I am so just absolutely excited to be on, and we got connected through some very cool people.  And so, I only like to know cool people who know cool people. That’s how I work. So here we are. [01:30]   Ah, that’s awesome, and the world is full of cool people, right?  That’s probably one of the neatest things that I, discoveries I guess that I have gone through over the last 20 years, is that every person has a story.  The sooner that we can move away from judging and moving towards a place of embracing and understanding, “Gosh, they’ve got a reason why, etc.,” then it all of a sudden creates this concept of inclusion and embracing as opposed to the other direction.  I think this is one of pieces I teach a course in the MBA department here at Fresno State on entrepreneurship. And in that course, I actually tell them look around, take note of the people that are in the class because many of them are going to move into high level positions over the next 15 years, right?

Oh, I am so just absolutely excited to be on, and we got connected through some very cool people.  And so, I only like to know cool people who know cool people. That’s how I work. So here we are.

[01:30]  

Ah, that’s awesome, and the world is full of cool people, right?  That’s probably one of the neatest things that I, discoveries I guess that I have gone through over the last 20 years, is that every person has a story.  The sooner that we can move away from judging and moving towards a place of embracing and understanding, “Gosh, they’ve got a reason why, etc.,” then it all of a sudden creates this concept of inclusion and embracing as opposed to the other direction.  I think this is one of pieces I teach a course in the MBA department here at Fresno State on entrepreneurship. And in that course, I actually tell them look around, take note of the people that are in the class because many of them are going to move into high level positions over the next 15 years, right?  And the sooner they can recognize and treat each other with that level of respect and operate like who that person going to be in the future, then it’s going to create these shortcuts in their career when that person does get advanced, etc. They’re going to be able to pick up the phone, have the conversation, and Boom! – be right there with that same sort of level of opportunity.     

[02:46]

Well, it’s a little bit about also what we go looking for. I mean if we go looking to get offended, we’re going to and, if you go looking to find cool people, guess what?  You’re going to find that too.    

[02:56]

Totally.  And this whole principle of “like produces like”, I think, is just so true.  Gosh,
