A personal reflection on a trip to the Philippines that shifted the speaker's perspective on work and relationships. Meeting colleagues in person revealed the importance of surrounding yourself with supportive people, turning what could have been routine into something that changed how they think about their career.
For me, it was when I met you guys in person in the Philippines, that, that day, that night I went, I got on my knees and just thank God that I got a chance to meet you guys. I will tell you this, and I want the rock stars to hear this too, is that this is what happens when we hire great people, is they see the good in us. I've had employees, Joe and Andre, that thought I was the worst, and there was a time where that was probably true. But I will tell you that the biggest difference in terms of value for me, in terms of like, my purpose has been to just surround myself with people who see the good side of me and believe in that. And let me just tell you, it is so easy, you guys make it so easy to see the good side and what's potential for you. So rockstars, as you're listening, that's what's possible when we hire great people. They. They are able to see the good and, and help you overcome the challenges that you face, which for me are many. Joe and Andre, I can't thank you enough.
