Who is 7 00:00:18.519 --> 00:00:21.920 Mark Webber. He's a self made business executive here to 8 00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:24.839 help you find your success from the New York City 9 00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:28.879 projects to the Avenue Montaigne in Paris. His global success 10 00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:32.359 story in the luxury world of fashion is inspirational. 11 00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:36.000 He's gone from clerk to CEO twice. 12 00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:40.079 Mark his classic proof that the American dream is alive. 13 00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:44.439 And well, here's your host of Always in Fashion, Mark Weber. 14 00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:45.159 Mark Weber. 15 00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:48.920 This is Mark Weber, This is business, and this is 16 00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:51.840 a night to talk and Always in Fashion a knight 17 00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:57.799 that talk seriously, face to face. In this world, the complexity, 18 00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:02.000 the differences, the diversity make our ability to communicate so 19 00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:06.640 much more easily and instantaneously than ever before. Yet the 20 00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:09.760 simpler has become to talk, the more difficulty has become 21 00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:14.480 to communicate. Phones. The top priority is no longer the phone. 22 00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:18.040 We pay the least attention to the phone feature for 23 00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:22.959 communicating there's been virtually no effort put forth to improve 24 00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:27.000 the phone listening quality, the speakers, etc. And Apple and 25 00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:30.000 the other makers will admit that because we're not asking 26 00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:34.079 for it. And why because smartphones, when it comes to talking, 27 00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:37.480 are not so smart. We don't seem to care about 28 00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:41.040 the sound quality of the telephone. The consumer is not 29 00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:46.760 demanding better. Yes they're perfect for email, Yes they're perfect 30 00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:51.439 for texting, and yes for accessing any of the social mediums. 31 00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:55.840 It's perfect your phone for finding vast amount of information 32 00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:59.280 on the Internet, and now perfectly convenient for buying and 33 00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:04.640 purchasing just about anything. But as a phone, it's not developing. 34 00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:07.640 We don't realize. I guess how incredible it is to 35 00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:10.639 talk to anyone in the world, anywhere in the world, 36 00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:14.039 from anywhere that you are. We're taking a cell phone 37 00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:17.800 for granted, I drove my car from the onset without 38 00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:21.840 a phone anywhere I would go. I've drived to Pennsylvania 39 00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:25.280 to Flora without a phone, never giving it a moment's thought. 40 00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:29.439 But today I'm uncomfortable. I freak out if I forget 41 00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:32.479 my phone to go to the clean ears. You want 42 00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:35.400 that phone in the car, it's part of you let's 43 00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:38.280 take a moment to think about it. The future's here. 44 00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:42.439 We can talk to anyone any time you want. Yet 45 00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:47.280 we're talking less and less. Texts and emails are growing, 46 00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:51.439 talking not so much. We can't blame the phone. It's 47 00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:55.520 there for us. It's not the phone, it's us, it's you. Really. 48 00:02:56.039 --> 00:02:59.719 Talking is becoming a lost art, and face to face 49 00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:03.639 to discussions are disappearing. Talking face to face seems to 50 00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:08.080 be avoided at all costs. When did you stop talking 51 00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:13.080 and started avoiding? I know it's easy to avoid dialogue 52 00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:17.719 today it's email and texting impersonal to say the least, easy, 53 00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:24.240 non confrontational, and easily avoidable for anything. You're at the 54 00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:29.840 point dating is online. Relationships are vera text. I remember 55 00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:31.960 how difficult it was for me to work up the 56 00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:36.560 courage prepare myself to tell a young lady that I 57 00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:39.639 was dating, that we would be no more. But face 58 00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:43.360 to face was the right way, face to face to communication. 59 00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:47.960 It was uncomfortable, but that's what I did. That's what 60 00:03:48.080 --> 00:03:50.680 I want to talk to you about tonight, face to 61 00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:55.439 face communication in business and in life, and maybe some politics. 62 00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:59.120 Face to face with me tonight. Jesse Weber, my son, 63 00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:02.639 my attorney here and always in fashion. I can't help 64 00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:05.879 but stay current on your relationships. Then I raised this point. 65 00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:08.680 We talk about that a lot my relationships. Apparently, you know, 66 00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:11.879 it's interesting. I went out with somebody recently and she's 67 00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:14.039 a younger girl, and she said to me, I said, 68 00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:17.120 you don't go out to meet people anymore, and she goes, 69 00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:20.040 you know, ever since the online dating and there's so 70 00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:22.439 many different apps. I go out with my friends, my 71 00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:24.800 girlfriend's just to go out to dance. I don't really 72 00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:26.680 look for anybody. If I want to look for somebody, 73 00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:29.000 I use the apps. If I go out, maybe i'll 74 00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:31.360 see somebody. But I really wait for the apps. It's 75 00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:33.120 become a different world. In fact, i'll tell you I 76 00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:35.560 would say it was a couple of years ago. I 77 00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:37.160 met a girl at one of an event. You and 78 00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:39.279 I went to an event. She was working the event. 79 00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:41.560 I went up to her, started talking or got her number. 80 00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:42.360 We went out. 81 00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:43.879 Later on that night. 82 00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:45.360 I met one of her friends, and her friend says 83 00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:47.399 to me, while my date went to the bathroom, she shas, 84 00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:49.959 you know, I heard how you went out. You went 85 00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:52.399 out of your way to get her number. I think 86 00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:55.040 that's really weird. I said, what do you mean she 87 00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:57.439 goes who goes up to somebody? Who gets their number? 88 00:04:57.439 --> 00:04:59.480 I said, how should I have met her? You use 89 00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:02.759 an app like everybody else. Oh geez, that's today's day 90 00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:05.480 and age. I'm telling you things have just changed. And 91 00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:08.920 the worst part about it. You ready for this? Yeah, 92 00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:12.439 when you break up with somebody, they cut you off 93 00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:16.800 of all social media Facebook, Instagram for not just cut 94 00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:19.279 you off. I've been blocked. I can't even search for 95 00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:19.959 them anymore. 96 00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:22.399 Well, I'm glad it's your world. What can I say? 97 00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:26.240 But tonight I want to talk about talking in business 98 00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:29.399 and in life. If you master the oral word, you 99 00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:33.680 will be successful. There's no question your writing skills will 100 00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:37.560 play an important part in your career. But you need 101 00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:40.560 to know how to talk. So much of what is 102 00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:43.800 done via the Internet and writing, and yes, you need 103 00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:47.160 to be capable of organizing your thoughts and articulating them 104 00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:49.920 via the written word. You got to be careful where 105 00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:52.879 you put your exclamation marks. I'm told that's a big deal. 106 00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:56.360 Putting things in capitals is a big deal. But the 107 00:05:56.480 --> 00:05:59.879 decisions in your career will be about FaceTime. 108 00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:02.959 Wait, I'm sorry I have to terrupt you. Coming from here. 109 00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:04.600 Your emails need a lot of work. 110 00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:07.040 It's like, I care about talking. 111 00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:08.480 I don't even know what it's like. 112 00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:09.240 Morse code. 113 00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:12.240 What's the thing called that changes your words around? 114 00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:14.600 If you don't, don't blame it on the Apple Typeoh, 115 00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:17.800 that's not what it is. You structure your emails like 116 00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:21.040 three three words. Then the next sentence it's like. 117 00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:24.839 Well, spell check, don't blame it on spellcheck? What spell check? 118 00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:29.600 Listen to me, I'm on the radio. I'm master at 119 00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:33.759 communicating the oral word writing. Yeah, I do it when 120 00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:35.920 I have to do, and it's certainly part of our culture. 121 00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:41.560 But tonight I want to talk about FaceTime, not Apple time, 122 00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:47.639 not Apple FaceTime, real FaceTime, face to face communication. You're 123 00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:51.759 expressing of ideas, your relationships with your boss, your important 124 00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:56.040 communications with your subordinates, the people working for you, will 125 00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:59.759 be face to face. Your ideas, your follow through direction, 126 00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:04.600 execution may take place through email, but think about it 127 00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:08.639 and trust me, it's the FaceTime that leaves the impressions. 128 00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:12.079 It's the face time that can make or break you. 129 00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:16.759 Your ability to communicate and talk is the key. Now, 130 00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:18.800 if you're a listener to the show, you know I 131 00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:21.560 don't like humans I don't have much faith in them. 132 00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:24.319 I just don't like them. If I were to work 133 00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:26.519 with only people i'd like, I'd be in a room 134 00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:27.399 by myself. 135 00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:29.720 What does that say about me? 136 00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:32.639 Ah, you're not included. Don't be ridiculous. I don't but 137 00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:36.079 I really don't like humans. And everyone I know knows 138 00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:38.199 that I don't like humans. But in business, you have 139 00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:42.839 a responsibility to communicate with them. And in spite of Twitter, Instagram, 140 00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:46.439 emails and texts, talking sets the stage that is the 141 00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:50.399 best vehicle to get your ideas and thoughts across directly 142 00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:54.879 to all the people you interact with. The political world 143 00:07:55.480 --> 00:07:57.879 is all about FaceTime, you know. I want to talk 144 00:07:57.879 --> 00:08:02.360 about Gina Haspell, the woman who was interviewing this week 145 00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:06.439 to be the head of the CIA. She was amazing 146 00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:09.519 if you listened to her interview, and I'll tell you why. 147 00:08:10.399 --> 00:08:14.839 Running the CIA, it's got to be an incredibly difficult job. 148 00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:18.399 And if you listen to this woman, she began in 149 00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:24.120 the field, making clandestine meetings with spies and people in 150 00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:28.279 the middle of nowhere in foreign countries. The courage she 151 00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:31.879 displayed throughout her career to get where she got, and 152 00:08:31.920 --> 00:08:35.000 when you listen to her talk. I was so impressed 153 00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:38.080 with the degree of information she had at her figuretips. 154 00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:42.360 She had done it all, and now she's interviewing for 155 00:08:42.440 --> 00:08:46.440 the top spot in spite of all the scandals. I 156 00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:51.080 respect our congressmen and senators. Yet when you heard the 157 00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:56.799 questions they were asking her, trying to get personal information 158 00:08:57.000 --> 00:09:02.840 from one of America's most important covert operatives. When they 159 00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:08.559 started to talk about America is behind the scenes investigating principles, 160 00:09:08.919 --> 00:09:11.720 Why are they asking those questions? It makes no sense. 161 00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:13.960 Why don't we just tell the whole world how we 162 00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:17.000 do everything. Now. I know they're smart. I know they 163 00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:21.399 have very learned their lawyers, their attorneys, they're very smart people. 164 00:09:21.879 --> 00:09:25.159 But yet they kept probing, probing, probing. But what I 165 00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:29.039 took away is the more they asked her, the better 166 00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:32.559 she was. The more I was excited about her because 167 00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:36.440 she had done every single job there was to be done. 168 00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:40.480 She knew how to run the CIA. This should have 169 00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:45.080 been simple, but it wasn't. I will tell you that 170 00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:48.399 the theme of tonight's show, face to face, was remarkable, 171 00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:53.519 watching her testify face to face in front of the committee, 172 00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:57.279 and with that in mind, you could never do that 173 00:09:57.639 --> 00:10:01.559 via text. The eye contact, the face to face questioning 174 00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:03.840 whether I like the questions or not. I don't even 175 00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:06.279 know why the whole thing wasn't done in closed session. 176 00:10:06.279 --> 00:10:08.399 You know, we're talking about the CIA here, We're not 177 00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:12.440 talking about your favorite food. But it was interesting to 178 00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:15.879 watch the face to face while I'm on the subject 179 00:10:15.960 --> 00:10:18.440 of politics. You know who else I want to talk about, 180 00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:25.159 Jesse Donald Trump. Absolutely, he is perhaps one of the 181 00:10:25.159 --> 00:10:30.639 most effective communicators ever to occupy the Oval Office. Before 182 00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:32.799 you run a revolt on me, I know there's a 183 00:10:32.799 --> 00:10:35.759 lot of you out there that doesn't like the President. 184 00:10:36.759 --> 00:10:40.399 I happen to think he's an effective communicator, and I'll 185 00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:43.320 dissuade you for the moment, and I give you a 186 00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:46.240 point of view on whether I like Donald Trump or not. 187 00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:51.399 In fact, I know Donald Trump. I actually devoted a 188 00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:54.000 chapter in my book Always in Fashion to Donald Trump, 189 00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:57.639 Chapter seventeen, and I entitled it Negotiating with the Master. 190 00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:01.759 Donald Trump has a licensing business. He is a brand. 191 00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:04.559 He believes in the Trump brand, and with that brand, 192 00:11:04.559 --> 00:11:06.919 he likes to put his name on various different products, 193 00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:12.399 products ranging from vodka to buildings, to hotels to golf courses. 194 00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:14.879 And when I met him, he wanted to be in 195 00:11:14.919 --> 00:11:18.440 the men's apparel business. He believed during his period in 196 00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:24.440 the Apprentice that he was creating a demand for shirts, ties, suits, clothing, 197 00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:27.159 and he wanted my company, at the time, the van 198 00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:30.399 using company, to be his licensee. And my guys came 199 00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:33.200 to me one day and said, Donald Trump wants to 200 00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:37.519 be our partner in shirts and ties and suits. I said, 201 00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:40.519 you know what, what do I need that for? Forget it, 202 00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:41.840 go back and tell him we don't need it. We 203 00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:45.519 got enough good things going on. The following morning, the 204 00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:48.879 president of our licensing business came into me and said, 205 00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:51.759 Donald Trump wants to come up here. I said, come on. 206 00:11:51.919 --> 00:11:54.840 He said, no, Donald Trump wants to come up here. Now, 207 00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:57.080 this was way before he was going to run for office. 208 00:11:57.120 --> 00:11:59.600 This is when he was running his business. I said, 209 00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:01.879 I'll tell you what. If Donald Trump, the man wants 210 00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:03.360 to come up here and see me, then I'm going 211 00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:05.559 to come up and see him, and lo and behold. 212 00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:09.679 Two days later, Donald Trump and his entourage, which weren't 213 00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:14.080 very many, came up to see me in my conference room. Hi, Mark, 214 00:12:14.120 --> 00:12:16.639 I've heard so much about you. I love your company. 215 00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:18.759 I have this brand that I want you guys to 216 00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:22.840 be involved to make money. I was absolutely not interested. 217 00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:25.120 I had no interest in whatsoever. I didn't need it. 218 00:12:25.159 --> 00:12:27.039 You know, mister Trump, we have all a good business 219 00:12:27.039 --> 00:12:29.559 going on. Why do I need this? He said? You know, 220 00:12:29.559 --> 00:12:31.919 I've done celebrity brands before. They come and go. They 221 00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:33.919 don't last the time, he said, you don't understand the 222 00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:37.080 Trump brand. And the point of the story is is 223 00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:42.279 face to face he was so articulate, so clever, so 224 00:12:42.799 --> 00:12:46.840 interested in building a brand with our company. He was flattering, 225 00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:50.799 he was tough. I was tougher and made him crazy. 226 00:12:51.080 --> 00:12:53.919 He said, listen to me, you're very tough. I'm not 227 00:12:53.919 --> 00:12:56.120 sure I have ht met anyone tougher than you. But 228 00:12:56.159 --> 00:12:58.399 if you trust me, we could build this brand together. 229 00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:00.320 And I please, I'd like you to think about it. 230 00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:03.240 Make a long story short. Our people were enthused. We 231 00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:06.279 ended up doing it. We had a great run until 232 00:13:06.279 --> 00:13:09.679 he ran for office. The point is, face to face 233 00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:12.639 makes a difference. On the phone, I would have never 234 00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:17.679 agreed to anything but face to face communicating. Looking in 235 00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:21.000 his eyes, seeing how serious he was, seeing how important 236 00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:24.360 it was to him, really really made a difference. And 237 00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:27.639 when I watch him communicate as president in his town 238 00:13:27.720 --> 00:13:31.240 halls or in his pep rallies from city to city. 239 00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:34.679 I found him to be the most effective communicator I've 240 00:13:34.720 --> 00:13:38.000 ever seen in the Oval office. Now, does he get 241 00:13:38.080 --> 00:13:41.919 himself in trouble, yes, Do some people dislike him, yes, 242 00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:44.799 But those people there listening to him talk to them 243 00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:49.720 face to face hearing him tell you what's important to him, 244 00:13:49.960 --> 00:13:52.600 whether it's a border wall, whether it's peace in Korea, 245 00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:56.440 whether it's trade, whether it's being treated respectfully, whether it's 246 00:13:56.480 --> 00:13:59.840 putting America first. How come we all know all of 247 00:13:59.879 --> 00:14:03.519 that these things as second nature? Because he wants to 248 00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:07.000 make America great again? And how is he doing it 249 00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:10.600 face to face? I'm gonna take a break. When we 250 00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:12.039 come back, we'll talk some more. 251 00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:15.440 Always in fashion, spent. 252 00:14:15.320 --> 00:14:19.039 A lifetime of my career building the van Usen brand, 253 00:14:19.240 --> 00:14:21.720 and I am so pleased that they're back with us 254 00:14:21.799 --> 00:14:26.879 now talking about suits. Men were dressing up again, and 255 00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:29.720 it's become cool to wear a suit. Suits can be 256 00:14:29.759 --> 00:14:33.240 won on multiple occasions in multiple ways. You could wear 257 00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:35.480 a suit formally to go out at night or to 258 00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:37.639 an event. You wear a suit to the office with 259 00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:40.759 or without a tie. If you look closely. Now fashion 260 00:14:40.840 --> 00:14:44.279 trends suits are being worn with turtlenecks or mark next. 261 00:14:44.559 --> 00:14:49.840 The choices are endless and every one of them looks right. 262 00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:53.159 You could really really look the part.

Here's your host, Mark webber. 319 00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:25.680 Tonight, I'm Always in Fashion. I'm talking face to face. 320 00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:29.559 I'm talking about the importance of talking face to face. 321 00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:35.119 I think speeches are incredibly important. I've spent a career 322 00:18:35.279 --> 00:18:38.440 out front of the companies that I work for From 323 00:18:38.480 --> 00:18:42.720 as early as I can remember, you needed to be smart. 324 00:18:43.240 --> 00:18:45.559 I needed to be smart. I needed to be able 325 00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:48.079 to communicate. I needed to do all those things that 326 00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:51.279 I needed to do. But what I realized early on 327 00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:56.440 that my oral skills mattered my ability to communicate orally 328 00:18:56.519 --> 00:19:01.240 with people. Nothing is as clear as talking to someone 329 00:19:01.359 --> 00:19:03.799 face to face. You see their whites of their eyes, 330 00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:09.000 you see their expressions, the psychology of you, your ability 331 00:19:09.039 --> 00:19:12.359 to read people, comes into play. It's so important face 332 00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:16.559 to face. Otherwise people are talking for you. You're being misrepresented. 333 00:19:16.599 --> 00:19:20.799 Perhaps you're not getting your points across as well. There 334 00:19:20.880 --> 00:19:23.240 is a game that we all know. It's called telephone. 335 00:19:23.880 --> 00:19:28.759 I whisper something in Jesse's ear, Jesse, and it comes 336 00:19:28.799 --> 00:19:32.759 out something completely different exactly, and that's telephone. And you 337 00:19:32.799 --> 00:19:34.880 pass it along, and you pass it along and you 338 00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:40.720 end up your message is misconstrued. It happens every day 339 00:19:40.759 --> 00:19:44.640 in politics, it happens every day everywhere. But when you 340 00:19:44.680 --> 00:19:47.599 do it face to face and it's clear from you. 341 00:19:48.279 --> 00:19:49.759 First of all, you have no one else to blame 342 00:19:49.799 --> 00:19:51.680 but yourself. You're the one doing the talking. See you 343 00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:55.559 better know what you're talking about. But at least it's 344 00:19:55.599 --> 00:19:59.359 coming from you. You're making the points that you want 345 00:19:59.559 --> 00:20:04.480 to make. I like to communicate in speeches. I've done 346 00:20:04.480 --> 00:20:07.079 it my whole career, as I said, starting out till 347 00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:12.480 the days I became senior VP, executive VP, president, CEO, 348 00:20:12.680 --> 00:20:16.000 board member, I've had to make my own speeches, and 349 00:20:16.079 --> 00:20:21.319 I think it's really important to communicate directly with the 350 00:20:21.359 --> 00:20:25.839 people I work with, face to face, ensuring that you 351 00:20:25.960 --> 00:20:30.119 hear it direct from the horse's mouth. In this case, 352 00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:34.200 me my ideas, my vision, my view of the company, 353 00:20:34.440 --> 00:20:38.799 what I'm doing, no interpretations. I'm leaving you with what 354 00:20:38.920 --> 00:20:40.599 I want you to be left with. 355 00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:44.240 I love your speeches, Ah do you love your speeches? 356 00:20:44.359 --> 00:20:47.319 Five hundred people knew at the end of your speech 357 00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:49.400 what you wanted them to know, and I think that's 358 00:20:49.480 --> 00:20:52.079 the key. That's the key to giving a good speech. 359 00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:54.160 Thank you, Jesse. That's what I'm trying to do and 360 00:20:54.200 --> 00:20:56.720 thanks for the nice words. I always try to set 361 00:20:56.759 --> 00:20:59.559 an example for you and for the people that were 362 00:20:59.599 --> 00:21:02.640 standing there. I have an idea. Why don't we do 363 00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:05.759 the following? Why don't I make a speech right now? 364 00:21:05.839 --> 00:21:08.240 Just to make the point first, of course, welcoming the 365 00:21:08.319 --> 00:21:13.200 audience to the speech. I think, although I am a 366 00:21:13.279 --> 00:21:15.039 CEO and a big shot, I want to be a 367 00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:17.400 man of the people. I want to come across like 368 00:21:17.480 --> 00:21:21.279 I'm one of them, that I'm not above them. I 369 00:21:21.359 --> 00:21:25.160 want to make sure I have a clear message, make 370 00:21:25.200 --> 00:21:28.960 sure they understand that this is a great company, that 371 00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:31.400 there are reasons that they're at this company. We're going 372 00:21:31.480 --> 00:21:35.119 to talk about right now. Why don't you take the 373 00:21:35.119 --> 00:21:38.960 anchor position and introduce me. Let's see take one of 374 00:21:38.960 --> 00:21:40.759 my titles. Which title would you like to use? 375 00:21:40.880 --> 00:21:45.319 Let's do CEO of LVMH Inc. Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy, Inc. 376 00:21:45.400 --> 00:21:48.200 It's the US subsidiary Oppressive. 377 00:21:48.559 --> 00:21:52.000 That was me, that was you. Let's go, let's do 378 00:21:52.200 --> 00:21:55.160 that speech. So Jesse, why don't we do this? Why 379 00:21:55.200 --> 00:21:57.440 don't you introduce me and I will give a speech 380 00:21:57.440 --> 00:21:58.160 to the audience. 381 00:21:58.400 --> 00:22:04.440 Okay, here, everybody, I'm Jesse Weber.
