Red Flags in Business Partnerships

Mike, aside from, you know, like someone who like literally is lying or, you know, like actual sort of fraud or deception, what are some kind of like interpersonal characteristics that over the years just always like really bothered you? Like, like personality traits or styles that like, that got on your, your, on your nerves where maybe you were sort of polite in the meeting, but, but in the back of your head you were just sort of rolling your eyes and saying like, okay, I've seen this way, way too many times. Yeah. I mean, God, the cast of characters I could, I mean, I could fill a prison with them half the time.

And yes, I've been deposed several times because we got into deals with bad people that stole money and so on and so forth. Nothing that I ever got in trouble for. But, you know, listen, I think it's just— I would apply it to normal life. If these people are, you know, overly arrogant and brag too much and, you know, are demeaning to other people, have a superiority complex, those are your freaking greatest red flags.
