A case for hiring based on what people can do, not who they are. The speaker argues that talent and job performance should be the only criteria, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, or where someone lives.

Would we hire someone based on if they're straight, gay, specific races, or they change their gender? We have people in our organization that meet all those criteria. We do try to give equal opportunity and try to hire people of all races, genders, etc. But the big thing that we really look for in an organization is qualifications. People on our team want to do— they have the right to do whatever they want to do. If they're amazing at their job, you know, they're amazing at their job. That's all that matters. Let people have their own opinions. It's their life. Exactly. And if people are great at what they do, I don't care if they want to live in some remote part of the world. If they're the best at something, I want to go find that person and hire them. Heck, they could be an alien, all I care. If they're really good at something and I can pay them and afford that alien, I would actually do it.
