What do you do for self care, diet and exercise a lot. But that's more of a recent thing like I said. And then the bigger aspect is, you know, really diving into that emotional intelligence, self awareness, have a good routine that I wake up at 5 o' clock in the morning and start with some reading and hang out with Ashley, my wife and we have coffee and do some reading and really take a slow approach into the day. After that I kind of go work out and then get ready for the day and get into work and meet with all my team and kind of try to get out of their way. If they need guidance, keep them there so that I can go work on what we need to do to grow the business. And you know, we have some pretty big goals over the next few years to expand into more places and I'm the one that's got to set that that direction that we're.
If your restaurant only works because you work 80 hours a week, it doesn't work.
