Nick Perry won't work with anyone who badmouths former partners or bosses. He sees it as a preview of how they'd treat him. Talent doesn't matter if someone has what he calls a poison-mouth.
I don't do business with people who talk shit about others. Not because I'm a pussy, but because I pay attention. See, talking trash about your ex-business partner shows something about how you handle commitments. Mocking your old boss is a sneak peek of how you will talk about me when I'm not in the room. And disrespecting the people who gave you an opportunity, even if it ended badly, tells me everything about how you will handle pressure, growth, and power. I don't give a shit how talented a person is. If their mouth leaks poison, they're not welcome at my table. Because in business, character is a currency, and I don't invest in people who don't have it.
