I never really have been a person that separated work in life I worked in private equ I was working all the time but I liked it I thought it was interesting I thought it was [Music] fun I do that because I started going on longer runs so I need more time and the reason I started going on long runs is it's better for what's called your parasympathetic nervous system which is like your calm relaxed autonomous nervous system I'm finished working out like 5:45 6 I'll shower get ready if I have time I'll check some emails in my home office primarily what I'm looking at then is the numbers from the previous day which start coming in around that time I'll drive into the office it's about a 20-minute drive I'll be in by 7:00 typically or 7:30 my CFO is here my coo will be here we'll typically just pop into each other's offices nothing formal and then my day starts with meetings my first meetings I I'll take it 8 and between meetings I'm trying to keep up with the emails I try to prioritize and get to the most important things first I try to prove things quickly so that people can get to work by the end of the day meetings are finished whatever time I have left I'll go through the emails that I didn't get to during the day so I'll probably finish 5:36 is when I'll head home I typically try to relax and kind of take it easy especially during the week try to read I smoke a cigar and hang out on my patio I get to bed early I try to get some good rest and then I start the next day at 4:00 a.m. I try not to email people on the weekends unless it's an actual emergency so people can go spend the weekends in the mountains or whatever they do so we have a culture that's on when we were're here and try to not be on who we're [Music] not it's one of those things where if you think about it then other people will start to think about it like if I came with an attitude that like I'm young and I need to make up for that somehow then I would over extend on other things I might be harsher than I need to cuz I need to prove that you know I'm the leader or I might make comments that reflect that insecurity I probably was more native to some of the things that we wanted to do specifically the digital you know the delivery services so I was a customer for what was a younger demographic using apps to to order food Etc I'm happy the business is doing well you know it's not about me like honestly I stepped in because it was the best thing to do to get the best outcome for the business the company Jo well helps the people do well and that's ultimately what's most important to me
