In this brief monologue, the speaker explains their hiring philosophy: they deliberately avoid hiring through personal networks, family, or friend referrals because such connections impose bias and limit growth. By seeking candidates from outside their immediate “pond” and “fishing in the ocean,” they aim to prevent being boxed into preconceived roles and to expand the talent pool, which they argue strengthens the business. The speaker emphasizes that reliance on a narrow network is a weakness, while broader sourcing is a strategic advantage.

This is why I buy my employees. A lot of people, their business is limited by the fact that they can't get outside their network, and the people in their network have a bias about them. They put them in a box and they say, you sit over here. I want to find people who they don't put me in a box, and they're going to come in, I'm going to be their boss, they're not going to be their friend or their uncle's sister, whatever it is, right? The second piece of that is that it's a weakness of your business if you cannot go find people from the ocean, right? If you just have to fish in your pond, then you have limited your business. And so learning how to fish early from the ocean is a strength for your business. That's why I do it, and that's why I don't do referrals from family and friends.
