10
00:00:34.359 --> 00:00:38.200
<v Speaker 1>proof that the American dream is alive. And well, here's

11
00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:41.359
<v Speaker 1>your host of Always in Fashion, Mark Weber.

12
00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:45.200
<v Speaker 2>Mark Weber, this is Thanksgiving week. I thought about doing

13
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:49.960
<v Speaker 2>a traditional Thanksgiving show, but I'm not a traditional guy,

14
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:52.600
<v Speaker 2>and I thought I'd mix it up a bit. After all,

15
00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:57.719
<v Speaker 2>Always in Fashion is an original content show. We're not politics,

16
00:00:57.759 --> 00:01:00.439
<v Speaker 2>We're not news and weather, we're not sports. We don't guess.

17
00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:04.400
<v Speaker 2>It's always business. That's what the theme of the show

18
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:07.000
<v Speaker 2>is when you really come down to it. But after

19
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:11.480
<v Speaker 2>all is said and done, were evaluated by Spotify Apple.

20
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:16.200
<v Speaker 2>iHeartMedia is cultural and social or cultural and lifestyle, and

21
00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:18.719
<v Speaker 2>I often think about where the next idea would come from.

22
00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:20.719
<v Speaker 2>It could have been Thanksgiving and a little touch on

23
00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:23.640
<v Speaker 2>that a bit. But if anyone should ever ask where

24
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:26.040
<v Speaker 2>do I come up with the ideas for the show,

25
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:30.159
<v Speaker 2>the answer is anywhere. The other day I happen to

26
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:33.799
<v Speaker 2>catch one of my favorite movies, The Firm, with Tom Cruise.

27
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:37.719
<v Speaker 2>Tom Cruise plays a lawyer, Mitch mcdeer. He gets his

28
00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:41.920
<v Speaker 2>first job working for a company, but he finds that

29
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:46.319
<v Speaker 2>the firm's largest client is the mob. And once that happened,

30
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:49.040
<v Speaker 2>he's approached by the FBI, who inform him that he's

31
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:51.040
<v Speaker 2>working with the mob and if he doesn't help them

32
00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:55.680
<v Speaker 2>capture the people that are involved in this scheme or

33
00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:57.840
<v Speaker 2>in other words, work as a rat or in other words,

34
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:00.640
<v Speaker 2>work as an informant, he's going to lose license, go

35
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:04.120
<v Speaker 2>to jail. Who knows what spoiler alert. Great movie. He

36
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:06.840
<v Speaker 2>protects his client, the Morola family, he brings the firm

37
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:10.560
<v Speaker 2>to justice, and there's a happy ending all around. The

38
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:13.159
<v Speaker 2>key for me, there is there's a scene, as there

39
00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:16.400
<v Speaker 2>often is in movies, that really capture my attention, and

40
00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:19.800
<v Speaker 2>this is in the movie. At one point when Tom

41
00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:23.159
<v Speaker 2>Cruise recognizes the way to bring down the firm is

42
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:27.719
<v Speaker 2>with the law. He's discovering that there's mail fraud and

43
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:32.159
<v Speaker 2>mail fraud because the clients are building, because the clients

44
00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:36.039
<v Speaker 2>are being built incorrectly through the mail. It becomes a

45
00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:38.719
<v Speaker 2>federal case and each of the members of the firm,

46
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:42.319
<v Speaker 2>they're subject to rico indictments. And in spite of the

47
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:45.080
<v Speaker 2>FBI all over him trying to catch through the mob,

48
00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:48.120
<v Speaker 2>in spite of all the threats and everything, he's going down.

49
00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:51.800
<v Speaker 2>He uses the slow in its simplest element, mail fraud

50
00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:57.120
<v Speaker 2>because these bills were mailed. It sounds simple. But there's

51
00:02:57.199 --> 00:03:00.280
<v Speaker 2>my favorite scene is when at one point he answer

52
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:03.080
<v Speaker 2>this over the FBI ah and hent Torrance, who's crazy

53
00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:05.800
<v Speaker 2>and pissed off. This is what you give me, mail

54
00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:08.199
<v Speaker 2>fraud And he doesn't realize the extent of what the

55
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:10.599
<v Speaker 2>problem would be and how we've been able to arrest

56
00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:14.000
<v Speaker 2>everyone and close down the firm. He asked Tom Cruise,

57
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:16.800
<v Speaker 2>how did you come up with mail fraud? And Tom

58
00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:20.400
<v Speaker 2>Cruise advises him, you forced me to think about the

59
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:23.560
<v Speaker 2>law again, and this was on the bar exam. You

60
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:26.919
<v Speaker 2>made me think about the law. Seeing that scene and

61
00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:29.560
<v Speaker 2>thinking about the movie, I asked myself, how do I

62
00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:32.319
<v Speaker 2>come up with ideas for the show. How do I

63
00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:35.319
<v Speaker 2>decide to be on the radio? And I tell you

64
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:39.680
<v Speaker 2>over and over. After a course of many years listening

65
00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:42.400
<v Speaker 2>to talk radio, I realized that I have a lot

66
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:44.960
<v Speaker 2>of things to say in writing my book. I should

67
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:47.599
<v Speaker 2>point out that recently one of our listeners, a friend

68
00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:49.240
<v Speaker 2>of mine named Michael, who wrote me to ask me

69
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:51.520
<v Speaker 2>to send a copy to him. He said he had

70
00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:53.439
<v Speaker 2>a copy. He always reads it, he always looks at

71
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:56.120
<v Speaker 2>it for ideas and lessons, and he asked me to autograph.

72
00:03:56.280 --> 00:03:57.879
<v Speaker 2>I told him i'd send him a new copy, but

73
00:03:57.919 --> 00:03:59.800
<v Speaker 2>he insisted that he send me the one that he's

74
00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:02.280
<v Speaker 2>had from day one, which he bought and he would

75
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:04.120
<v Speaker 2>really appreciate I would signing and return it to him.

76
00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:06.560
<v Speaker 2>So he did. He sent me an envelope. Hessyst that

77
00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:08.120
<v Speaker 2>I did, and I did. When I thought about the

78
00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:10.520
<v Speaker 2>book and I took a look at it, I looked

79
00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:13.560
<v Speaker 2>at the back page where it indicated there were three

80
00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:15.960
<v Speaker 2>major players and gave comments on the book. One of

81
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:19.079
<v Speaker 2>them referred to the book Gilbert Harrison, friend of mine,

82
00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:23.720
<v Speaker 2>investment banker. And there is in the book a chapter

83
00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:27.800
<v Speaker 2>call Just in case you weren't paying attention, Gilbert Harrison's

84
00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:30.879
<v Speaker 2>exact quote about the book was a fascinating tale, with

85
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:35.759
<v Speaker 2>the most intriguing chapter featuring Weber's forty three lessons for success.

86
00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:39.879
<v Speaker 2>Anyone who's considering becoming a success should read those chapters.

87
00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:43.399
<v Speaker 2>So I opened the book that wasn't my bar exam,

88
00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:47.360
<v Speaker 2>but was the answer. He forced me to think about

89
00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:51.720
<v Speaker 2>my career again, and boom, our show, Our evening was

90
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:56.279
<v Speaker 2>born with forty three lessons. These lessons that really defined

91
00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:59.000
<v Speaker 2>my career. Don't get crazy. By the way, there's not

92
00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:00.920
<v Speaker 2>enough time to cover all of them today. I can't

93
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:04.920
<v Speaker 2>do forty three lessons. But certain events and circumstances did

94
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:09.519
<v Speaker 2>happen along the way that I either learned from or

95
00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:12.720
<v Speaker 2>created case studies of people. You know, I don't particularly

96
00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:16.199
<v Speaker 2>like humans, but they're life lessons, business lessons. So I

97
00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:20.319
<v Speaker 2>figured it's Thanksgiving weekend and me rediscovering my book. I

98
00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:24.399
<v Speaker 2>have so much to be grateful for considering I wasn't

99
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:27.079
<v Speaker 2>supposed to have this career. I grew up in the

100
00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:30.519
<v Speaker 2>city projects, I had no advantages. I knew nothing about anything.

101
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:33.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm lucky I went to college. Lucky I found, more

102
00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:37.680
<v Speaker 2>importantly than anything else, when I started working I recognized opportunity.

103
00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:40.439
<v Speaker 2>It was tangible, but there's something surrounding me, and I

104
00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:42.839
<v Speaker 2>realized when I saw this company I was involved. I

105
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:45.120
<v Speaker 2>had a chance to be successful. Yes, I could talk

106
00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:48.000
<v Speaker 2>about the lessons. I could talk about many things, family, friends,

107
00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:50.319
<v Speaker 2>those things that mean so much, but in that this

108
00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:54.079
<v Speaker 2>is a business show, and yes it touches on cultural lifestyle.

109
00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:57.160
<v Speaker 2>I would thought I would take an opportunity to say

110
00:05:57.319 --> 00:06:01.120
<v Speaker 2>thanks to the lessons that I learned, then, perhaps even

111
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:04.399
<v Speaker 2>more importantly, perhaps sharing at the end of this hour,

112
00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:07.839
<v Speaker 2>you'll be grateful for sticking around and listening. Maybe you'll

113
00:06:07.879 --> 00:06:11.079
<v Speaker 2>have a few life lessons of your own having heard

114
00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:14.560
<v Speaker 2>the show tonight. With that in mind, I'm grateful more

115
00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:18.199
<v Speaker 2>than anything tonight to have my lawyer, my co host,

116
00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:22.360
<v Speaker 2>and Jesse Webber talking career lessons or the actual title

117
00:06:22.399 --> 00:06:24.439
<v Speaker 2>of the show is thanks for the memories, because they're

118
00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:27.600
<v Speaker 2>all great memories. Hey, Jess, got any career lessons?

119
00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:30.439
<v Speaker 3>You mentioned one of my favorite movies, The Firm. I

120
00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:32.279
<v Speaker 3>think it was actually one of the reasons I decided

121
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:35.120
<v Speaker 3>to go to law school. That and a Few Good Men.

122
00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:37.959
<v Speaker 3>Those were the two Tom Cruise Legal movies. By the way,

123
00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:42.639
<v Speaker 3>False advertising, Okay, let me be clear, that's not actually

124
00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:45.199
<v Speaker 3>what being a lawyer is like. They kind of it's

125
00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:47.120
<v Speaker 3>same thing with suits. They make it look so much

126
00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:49.480
<v Speaker 3>glamorous than it is. Although he did work a ton

127
00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:51.519
<v Speaker 3>in the firm, But the law I remembered.

128
00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:53.879
<v Speaker 4>I love it. I love the law. Thought it was great.

129
00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:55.079
<v Speaker 4>Love law school.

130
00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:59.560
<v Speaker 3>Did great in law school, But my gosh, practicing it's

131
00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:03.639
<v Speaker 3>a night It's a nightmare. I hated practicing corporate law

132
00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:04.920
<v Speaker 3>and intellectual property loves.

133
00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:08.279
<v Speaker 4>I look learned a lot of lessons, learned from.

134
00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:12.199
<v Speaker 3>Great people, but that practice is very, very tough and daunting,

135
00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:13.199
<v Speaker 3>and as often the case may be.

136
00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:15.480
<v Speaker 2>I got to tell you something. You know, when I

137
00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:18.680
<v Speaker 2>grew up in my roles and I work with corporate

138
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:21.839
<v Speaker 2>attorneys sitting on the board solving problems with us, they

139
00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:25.040
<v Speaker 2>were having great times and they were talking about strategy,

140
00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:27.120
<v Speaker 2>and you know, they had people working for them to

141
00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:29.120
<v Speaker 2>do the dirty works. So you weren't there yet.

142
00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:32.800
<v Speaker 3>Wait a minute, were these outside lawyers or were they

143
00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:33.839
<v Speaker 3>your general counsel?

144
00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:36.160
<v Speaker 2>Uh? Outside lawyers?

145
00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:38.800
<v Speaker 3>Oh, that's surprising because usually they hate their lives. But

146
00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:43.600
<v Speaker 3>in house counsel loved their positions anyway, So I wasn't

147
00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:45.439
<v Speaker 3>for me I knew it wasn't going to be for me.

148
00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:47.079
<v Speaker 4>I knew that wasn't going to be the next thirty

149
00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:48.079
<v Speaker 4>forty years of my life.

150
00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:50.879
<v Speaker 3>So, as often the case may be, it's who you

151
00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:55.319
<v Speaker 3>know and through your contacts in radio, we were introduced

152
00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:57.639
<v Speaker 3>to tams and Vidal. If you don't who Tamsin is,

153
00:07:57.680 --> 00:07:59.439
<v Speaker 3>first of all, shame on you, because she's one of

154
00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:04.319
<v Speaker 3>the anchors and Picks eleven and TAM's in was always

155
00:08:04.439 --> 00:08:06.279
<v Speaker 3>in the news business and we met with her and

156
00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:08.079
<v Speaker 3>she was so kind and I said, listen, I want

157
00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:08.680
<v Speaker 3>to be on TV.

158
00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:10.319
<v Speaker 4>I want to be a host, I want to host

159
00:08:10.399 --> 00:08:10.920
<v Speaker 4>game shows.

160
00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:13.040
<v Speaker 3>I want to be like the next Ryan Seacrest, I

161
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:15.079
<v Speaker 3>want to be an anchor, all these different things.

162
00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:15.800
<v Speaker 4>And she says, what WHOA.

163
00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:19.399
<v Speaker 3>You need to focus You need to focus on what

164
00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:21.720
<v Speaker 3>your skills are, and you need to focus on what

165
00:08:21.879 --> 00:08:24.079
<v Speaker 3>you can do. What's the easiest way for you to

166
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:27.040
<v Speaker 3>get into media. The easiest way is you're an attorney.

167
00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:30.879
<v Speaker 3>You should go on television and be a legal analyst.

168
00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:34.240
<v Speaker 3>That is a way to break through. And I said, wow,

169
00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:37.200
<v Speaker 3>that's a really good idea. And I'll never forget the

170
00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:39.279
<v Speaker 3>first thing that I did. One of the very first

171
00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:41.879
<v Speaker 3>things I did was Fox News because I and I

172
00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:43.919
<v Speaker 3>tell you, I've never been more nervous in my life

173
00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:47.120
<v Speaker 3>being on Fox News. And I was a legal analyst

174
00:08:47.240 --> 00:08:49.320
<v Speaker 3>for a session for a Hit. And from there, I

175
00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:53.320
<v Speaker 3>started doing CNN, CBS, I did Crime Watch Daily with

176
00:08:53.399 --> 00:08:54.000
<v Speaker 3>Chris Hansen.

177
00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:56.120
<v Speaker 4>I did all these different shows.

178
00:08:56.679 --> 00:08:59.240
<v Speaker 3>And as you're doing that and you're meeting different lawyers,

179
00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:01.799
<v Speaker 3>you're meeting different people in media. I came to find

180
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:05.000
<v Speaker 3>out that Dan Abrams from ABC News was starting a

181
00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:08.679
<v Speaker 3>company called law News. It's now law on Crime, and

182
00:09:08.759 --> 00:09:12.320
<v Speaker 3>they were doing live trial coverage, and so I got

183
00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:14.360
<v Speaker 3>on there as a guest. I made a few guest

184
00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:16.799
<v Speaker 3>appearances as a legal analyst, and then I said, are

185
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:18.639
<v Speaker 3>you looking for a host? I asked the president, you're

186
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:20.240
<v Speaker 3>looking for a host, and she said, yeah, I want

187
00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:23.279
<v Speaker 3>to audition. I auditioned, I got the part. One thing

188
00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:26.440
<v Speaker 3>led to another. I became their permanent host for five years,

189
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:30.799
<v Speaker 3>hosting that morning show Monday through Friday, and hosting led

190
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:33.320
<v Speaker 3>into reporting, it led into a podcast, it led into

191
00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:36.000
<v Speaker 3>a true crime documentary show. I went into News Nation,

192
00:09:36.159 --> 00:09:39.320
<v Speaker 3>I went into Sirius, and one thing led into another,

193
00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:41.639
<v Speaker 3>and I will tell you you have no idea what

194
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:44.360
<v Speaker 3>direction your career will go. All I can tell you

195
00:09:44.559 --> 00:09:46.720
<v Speaker 3>is you have to figure out what you like. You

196
00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:48.799
<v Speaker 3>have to figure out what your skill set is, and

197
00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:50.799
<v Speaker 3>you just have to do a great job. And when

198
00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:53.480
<v Speaker 3>you do a great job, you never know what else

199
00:09:53.559 --> 00:09:56.399
<v Speaker 3>can happen, what else can happen? And look, luck is

200
00:09:56.440 --> 00:09:58.440
<v Speaker 3>a luck. You have to have luck, of course, and

201
00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:00.799
<v Speaker 3>we all need help. It's not bad thing to ask

202
00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:04.240
<v Speaker 3>for people for help. To also ask people for contacts.

203
00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:07.559
<v Speaker 3>I think that's a really important thing. And look, her advice.

204
00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:11.879
<v Speaker 3>Hamsen's advice changed everything for me. I'm incredibly grateful for her.

205
00:10:12.279 --> 00:10:14.519
<v Speaker 3>It was a career change that made me very, very happy.

206
00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:17.799
<v Speaker 3>Work doesn't work anymore. I counted the hours, the minutes

207
00:10:17.919 --> 00:10:19.960
<v Speaker 3>at my law firm until I could leave, and sometimes

208
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:22.399
<v Speaker 3>I couldn't leave. But now I'm working more than I've

209
00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:27.120
<v Speaker 3>ever worked in my life, early mornings, late nights, weekends, holidays.

210
00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:29.360
<v Speaker 4>But I love it. And so I'm very lucky in

211
00:10:29.440 --> 00:10:31.679
<v Speaker 4>that sense. And you know you have a line. You

212
00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:34.480
<v Speaker 4>have a line that I think is so apropos.

213
00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:38.240
<v Speaker 3>You said, once the company pays me for my head,

214
00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:41.320
<v Speaker 3>I've thrown in my heart for free. That's how I

215
00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:44.000
<v Speaker 3>feel so now let me ask you the same question

216
00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:45.120
<v Speaker 3>harder head.

217
00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:48.600
<v Speaker 2>What a great question? What a great question. Look, I

218
00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:54.000
<v Speaker 2>spent thirty years of my career running major corporations, and

219
00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:56.320
<v Speaker 2>I have to tell you every step of the way,

220
00:10:57.000 --> 00:10:59.960
<v Speaker 2>I was energized. Every step of the way, I was excited.

221
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:04.279
<v Speaker 2>I had so many ups and downs and so many disappointments,

222
00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:07.200
<v Speaker 2>so I can't tell you I enjoyed everything along the way.

223
00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:11.159
<v Speaker 2>Many times I was miserable. Many times someone else got

224
00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:13.960
<v Speaker 2>the job I wanted. But there's a great lesson there.

225
00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:15.639
<v Speaker 2>If you don't get the job you want, you have

226
00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:19.440
<v Speaker 2>two choices to mope, to complain, to leave the company,

227
00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:24.000
<v Speaker 2>to behave appropriately, or understand that it's not personal. For

228
00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:26.440
<v Speaker 2>whatever the reasons are. The people that made this election

229
00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:29.919
<v Speaker 2>believe that someone else was more qualified for you than

230
00:11:29.960 --> 00:11:32.679
<v Speaker 2>you were at that time. I learned to be the

231
00:11:32.799 --> 00:11:36.279
<v Speaker 2>happiest I could be when I was disappointed. I learned

232
00:11:36.320 --> 00:11:39.240
<v Speaker 2>to work harder, to work smarter, and to put aside

233
00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:42.799
<v Speaker 2>by disappointment, and it really really helped. That's a very

234
00:11:42.879 --> 00:11:45.559
<v Speaker 2>important lesson. On a show I want to talk about lessons,

235
00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:50.080
<v Speaker 2>but I would tell you that the radio became so

236
00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:55.039
<v Speaker 2>important to me that today, it's all about the heart.

237
00:11:55.159 --> 00:11:57.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm here for the heart. I love it. I will

238
00:11:58.039 --> 00:12:01.559
<v Speaker 2>tell you it is harder to do this show then

239
00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:04.120
<v Speaker 2>manage a nine billion dollar company. Now I know when

240
00:12:04.159 --> 00:12:05.000
<v Speaker 2>I say that, no.

241
00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:07.159
<v Speaker 4>Way, no way, yeah yeah.

242
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:12.159
<v Speaker 2>But the difference is really once you manage a company,

243
00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:13.879
<v Speaker 2>Once you learn how to manage a company, you know

244
00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:16.639
<v Speaker 2>everything to do. You know all the rules, all the tricks,

245
00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:19.559
<v Speaker 2>all the games, all the technical information that you need

246
00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:24.360
<v Speaker 2>to get the job done. If somebody cancels merchandise, you

247
00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:27.000
<v Speaker 2>know what to say. Somebody wants to increase their order,

248
00:12:27.080 --> 00:12:29.000
<v Speaker 2>but you have to fly it. You'll make less money.

249
00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:32.919
<v Speaker 2>You know what to do whatever comes up. You're anticipated

250
00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:35.559
<v Speaker 2>the board questions, when you're looking at your numbers, you

251
00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:37.240
<v Speaker 2>know when you're doing well. You know when you have

252
00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:41.679
<v Speaker 2>things to fix. It's a matter of training. It's like

253
00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:45.399
<v Speaker 2>Olympic athletes. You have to watch these people in gymnastics,

254
00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:47.799
<v Speaker 2>for example. How do they do the things they do?

255
00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:50.279
<v Speaker 2>How do they do those floor exercise? How do they

256
00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:52.360
<v Speaker 2>do the high meat, how do they do whatever? That

257
00:12:53.080 --> 00:12:55.679
<v Speaker 2>thing is the bench they walk across that's four inches.

258
00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:58.360
<v Speaker 2>It's crazy. No one in this world should be able

259
00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:00.600
<v Speaker 2>to do that, but they can do it because they've

260
00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:05.120
<v Speaker 2>practiced and practiced and practiced. So in corporate life, I

261
00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:07.919
<v Speaker 2>had done it for so long it was became easy.

262
00:13:08.080 --> 00:13:12.480
<v Speaker 2>There was an answer for everything. Radio podcasts totally different.

263
00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:16.679
<v Speaker 2>It is Saturday night, Sunday night, this show is on.

264
00:13:17.960 --> 00:13:21.399
<v Speaker 2>I wake up Monday morning. I have no idea what

265
00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:24.720
<v Speaker 2>next week's show is. Tuesday night, idea, Wednesday, no idea.

266
00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:27.879
<v Speaker 2>I'm looking something. Hit me please. And then not only

267
00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:30.039
<v Speaker 2>do I have to get an idea out of the sky,

268
00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:33.720
<v Speaker 2>something luckily happens, I have to ask myself, how is

269
00:13:33.799 --> 00:13:36.639
<v Speaker 2>this relevant? How do we turn it into something that's

270
00:13:36.679 --> 00:13:39.480
<v Speaker 2>going to be interesting. How do we give the listeners

271
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:42.559
<v Speaker 2>you out there, something that you could remember, that you

272
00:13:42.679 --> 00:13:45.360
<v Speaker 2>could turn to, that you could use. One of my

273
00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:50.240
<v Speaker 2>favorite things on the radio. Even the the program manager

274
00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:53.120
<v Speaker 2>of War has told me that he's been listening to

275
00:13:53.279 --> 00:13:56.679
<v Speaker 2>my show. And there are circumstances when he gets home

276
00:13:56.799 --> 00:13:59.879
<v Speaker 2>to have his dinner, he's in the driveway listening to

277
00:13:59.919 --> 00:14:02.879
<v Speaker 2>the show and it hasn't ended yet, and he texts

278
00:14:02.919 --> 00:14:05.159
<v Speaker 2>his wife, I can't come in right now. I have

279
00:14:05.320 --> 00:14:07.840
<v Speaker 2>to finish this. I am amazed at what I'm listening to.

280
00:14:08.200 --> 00:14:11.000
<v Speaker 2>And he listens to the show. So those things that

281
00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:13.360
<v Speaker 2>happened to me really mean a lot to me. And

282
00:14:14.440 --> 00:14:18.399
<v Speaker 2>it's turned out that radio is not for the money.

283
00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:21.039
<v Speaker 2>I have worked long enough not to have to think

284
00:14:21.080 --> 00:14:27.240
<v Speaker 2>about money. It's not for it's not other than what

285
00:14:27.399 --> 00:14:30.080
<v Speaker 2>it does for me in my heart. It makes me

286
00:14:30.360 --> 00:14:33.320
<v Speaker 2>feel good to know that I can do this, that

287
00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:35.679
<v Speaker 2>I have listened to enjoy what we have to say.

288
00:14:36.120 --> 00:14:38.159
<v Speaker 2>And while I'm not a big guy and having to

289
00:14:38.279 --> 00:14:41.360
<v Speaker 2>give back, I could care less about anyone. But the

290
00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:45.000
<v Speaker 2>reality is when I talk my lessons and I know

291
00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:47.080
<v Speaker 2>they're going to help someone, and I know know what

292
00:14:47.200 --> 00:14:49.240
<v Speaker 2>he thought about it before, I love it and it

293
00:14:49.320 --> 00:14:52.720
<v Speaker 2>all means so much to me now before we leave.

294
00:14:53.200 --> 00:14:55.639
<v Speaker 2>Has that for an answer, Jess, good answer.

295
00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:56.679
<v Speaker 4>It's a good answer.

296
00:14:57.360 --> 00:14:57.480
<v Speaker 1>Now.

297
00:14:57.559 --> 00:15:01.639
<v Speaker 2>Having said that, before we leave, it's time to talk Trump.

298
00:15:02.240 --> 00:15:03.320
<v Speaker 2>What's going on with him?

299
00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:07.360
<v Speaker 4>Big thing this week? His uh Remember the we talked

300
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:08.879
<v Speaker 4>about this last time we were on the show.

301
00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:12.120
<v Speaker 3>Remember I told you that the prosecutor who's been going

302
00:15:12.159 --> 00:15:15.559
<v Speaker 3>after him on the federal cases will he officially moved

303
00:15:15.639 --> 00:15:18.279
<v Speaker 3>to dismiss the case against Donald Trump. He's gonna throw

304
00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:21.600
<v Speaker 3>it out. That's that's something we expected was gonna happen.

305
00:15:21.879 --> 00:15:25.120
<v Speaker 3>It's a big win for Donald Trump. I can't imagine

306
00:15:25.120 --> 00:15:28.440
<v Speaker 3>that there would be any situation where it revives itself currently,

307
00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:31.159
<v Speaker 3>so it's one less headache for him to think about.

308
00:15:32.240 --> 00:15:34.799
<v Speaker 2>That's great, let's get on with it. I'm doing the

309
00:15:34.879 --> 00:15:35.519
<v Speaker 2>Trump Well.

310
00:15:36.679 --> 00:15:38.720
<v Speaker 4>Let's well, well, let's be clear.

311
00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:41.679
<v Speaker 3>The prosecutor didn't dismiss it for the merits. He said

312
00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:43.480
<v Speaker 3>he could have proved the case. He said that he

313
00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:47.879
<v Speaker 3>still thinks Donald Trump committed Yeah, yeah, yeah, but because

314
00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:50.000
<v Speaker 3>but because he's the president of the United States, he

315
00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:51.279
<v Speaker 3>has no choice but to drop it.

316
00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:55.399
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Well, that's good. Having said that, tonight's show, there's

317
00:15:55.440 --> 00:15:58.639
<v Speaker 2>something to be grateful. Tonight's show is part thankful and

318
00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:01.879
<v Speaker 2>tonight's show has a lot to do with something called

319
00:16:01.960 --> 00:16:05.000
<v Speaker 2>the forty three Lessons. Well, take a break, we'll be

330
00:16:39.519 --> 00:16:42.320
<v Speaker 2>for one, love to shop. I love going around and

332
00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:48.519
<v Speaker 2>make me feel good to wear now. I don't wear

341
00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:21.119
<v Speaker 2>unlike my appreciation of women's clothes. I'm a modern guy.

346
00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:34.119
<v Speaker 2>whether it's a stripe on the sleeve or button at

347
00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:36.519
<v Speaker 2>the neck or on the shoulder. There's a lot of

348
00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:40.119
<v Speaker 2>details that go into Carlagafel because he's always been, he

349

350
00:17:43.279 --> 00:17:46.400
<v Speaker 2>this legacy and goes on and on. I can't speak

351
00:17:46.480 --> 00:17:48.400
<v Speaker 2>enough about it except to say to you, you want

352
00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:50.519
<v Speaker 2>to feel good about yourself. You want to know that

353

<v Speaker 2>you're dressing properly. You want to clothes that fits you well.

354
00:17:53.559 --> 00:17:58.920
<v Speaker 2>Carl Lagafeld Paris at Macy's Orcarl Lagafel dot com and

355
00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:02.680
<v Speaker 2>a lifetime of my life career building the Van uesen Brand,

356
00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:05.559
<v Speaker 2>and I am so pleased that they're back with us

357
00:18:05.680 --> 00:18:11.039
<v Speaker 2>now talking about suits. Men were dressing up again, and

358
00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:13.920
<v Speaker 2>it's become cool to wear a suit. Suits can be

359
00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:17.480
<v Speaker 2>won on multiple occasions, in multiple ways. You could wear

360
00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:19.680
<v Speaker 2>a suit formally to go out at night or to

361
00:18:19.759 --> 00:18:22.200
<v Speaker 2>an event. You wear a suit to the office with

362
00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:25.759
<v Speaker 2>or without a tie. If you look closely, now fashion trends,

363
00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:29.200
<v Speaker 2>suits are being worn with turtlenecks or mark next. The

364
00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:34.359
<v Speaker 2>choices are endless and every one of them looks right

365
00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:37.880
<v Speaker 2>you could really really look the part. I believe that

366
00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:41.480
<v Speaker 2>packaging yourself is as important as the products you package,

367
00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:43.680
<v Speaker 2>and wearing a suit is one of those things that

368
00:18:43.960 --> 00:18:48.480
<v Speaker 2>make men look their best. Venues In invented a new idea.

369
00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:52.000
<v Speaker 2>It's called the cool Flex suit. It's been engineered with

370
00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:56.079
<v Speaker 2>stretch technology, giving you the most comfortable fit and mobility.

371
00:18:56.359 --> 00:19:00.279
<v Speaker 2>It's wrinkle resistant fabric, it's cool moisture wiki makes it

372
00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:03.759
<v Speaker 2>perfect for all occasions. As we discussed just now, this

373
00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:07.880
<v Speaker 2>new style of looking sharp while feeling cool and comfortable

374
00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:11.400
<v Speaker 2>is amazing, and I'm so excited that the van Using

375
00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:15.680
<v Speaker 2>company is involved in this new technology and is embracing

376
00:19:16.119 --> 00:19:19.039
<v Speaker 2>the whole idea of dressing up. Let's not forget van

377
00:19:19.079 --> 00:19:22.079
<v Speaker 2>Using made it's name with dress shirts. It's only proper

378
00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:25.920
<v Speaker 2>that the suit business follows strongly in its way. You

379

381
00:19:34.400 --> 00:19:35.359
<v Speaker 2>You should go look at them.

382
00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:38.799
<v Speaker 1>Welcome back to Always in Fashion.

383
00:19:39.079 --> 00:19:40.799
<v Speaker 4>Here's your host, Mark Webber.

384
00:19:42.079 --> 00:19:48.000
<v Speaker 2>Even though it's Thanksgiving weekend, I'm not doing a Thanksgiving show. Hi,

385
00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:51.000
<v Speaker 2>I would say to you, it's kind of mixed. This

386
00:19:51.240 --> 00:19:56.079
<v Speaker 2>is about lessons learned, a lot of great memories. But

387
00:19:56.240 --> 00:19:59.880
<v Speaker 2>in the end, it's not Thanksgiving. But I am thankful,

388
00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:03.279
<v Speaker 2>and there are certain things that I want to talk

389
00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:07.279
<v Speaker 2>about that are a little different than most Thanksgiving shows

390
00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:10.279
<v Speaker 2>would be. If we were to do one right now,

391
00:20:11.279 --> 00:20:15.079
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to talk about greatest inventions. I want to

392
00:20:15.119 --> 00:20:17.920
<v Speaker 2>talk about the greatest inventions because they have to be

393
00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:21.359
<v Speaker 2>thankful for them. Now. I know for a fact what

394
00:20:21.519 --> 00:20:24.920
<v Speaker 2>the world thinks is the greatest invention. You're ready, do

395
00:20:24.960 --> 00:20:25.559
<v Speaker 2>you know what it is?

396
00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:27.279
<v Speaker 4>Jesse the cell phone?

397
00:20:27.920 --> 00:20:32.079
<v Speaker 2>Haha? Will come to that. No, the greatest invention considered

398
00:20:32.119 --> 00:20:35.079
<v Speaker 2>by all the scientists and the people in the know

399
00:20:35.519 --> 00:20:38.920
<v Speaker 2>are the following I'll read it. The wheel. The wheel

400
00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:43.279
<v Speaker 2>can be considered mankind's most important invention, the utility of

401
00:20:43.319 --> 00:20:46.440
<v Speaker 2>which it's still applied in multiple spheres of our daily life.

402
00:20:46.799 --> 00:20:50.119
<v Speaker 2>While most other inventions have been derived from nature itself,

403
00:20:50.480 --> 00:20:53.920
<v Speaker 2>the wheel is one hundred percent of product of human invention.

404
00:20:54.440 --> 00:20:56.880
<v Speaker 2>If you think back to the chariots in the old days,

405
00:20:56.920 --> 00:20:59.599
<v Speaker 2>there's not a machine that doesn't have a wheel. This

406
00:20:59.720 --> 00:21:02.359
<v Speaker 2>is not a travel vehicle that doesn't have a wheel.

407
00:21:02.559 --> 00:21:06.359
<v Speaker 2>The wheel is the greatest invention. Having said it, there

408
00:21:06.400 --> 00:21:09.039
<v Speaker 2>are modern day inventions that you know are so important.

409
00:21:09.079 --> 00:21:11.519
<v Speaker 2>So let's talk about that, Jesse, while we're talking about

410
00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:14.440
<v Speaker 2>a different view of Thanksgiving. What do you think are

411
00:21:14.440 --> 00:21:16.640
<v Speaker 2>the most important modern day inventions?

412
00:21:16.720 --> 00:21:16.920
<v Speaker 1>And what?

413
00:21:18.279 --> 00:21:21.480
<v Speaker 3>Look I as I say this, because I know this

414
00:21:21.640 --> 00:21:23.559
<v Speaker 3>is the most important invention, but I hate it.

415
00:21:24.119 --> 00:21:24.839
<v Speaker 4>The cell phone.

416
00:21:25.240 --> 00:21:28.759
<v Speaker 3>It's in many ways, nothing has revolutionized our life more

417
00:21:28.799 --> 00:21:32.440
<v Speaker 3>in the last twenty years. Nothing nothing, and their access

418
00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:36.000
<v Speaker 3>to information, What it's done for your life, your ability

419
00:21:36.039 --> 00:21:39.400
<v Speaker 3>to communicate with people, how it's helped your career, everything.

420
00:21:39.839 --> 00:21:42.440
<v Speaker 3>But at the same time, everybody's glued to their phones.

421
00:21:42.759 --> 00:21:44.119
<v Speaker 4>No one's in the moment anymore.

422
00:21:44.440 --> 00:21:47.519
<v Speaker 3>So many people are addicted to social media. They've lost

423
00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:50.200
<v Speaker 3>their ability to communicate. So it's one of those inventions

424
00:21:50.279 --> 00:21:52.880
<v Speaker 3>that I if it went away tomorrow, I don't even

425
00:21:52.920 --> 00:21:57.119
<v Speaker 3>know how our society would function. But b it's it's

426
00:21:57.319 --> 00:21:59.680
<v Speaker 3>it's not my favorite thing that's been invented.

427
00:21:59.680 --> 00:22:03.079
<v Speaker 2>Would agree. Three times in the last month, I forgot

428
00:22:03.160 --> 00:22:04.839
<v Speaker 2>to take my phone with me when I went out

429
00:22:04.839 --> 00:22:07.759
<v Speaker 2>to dinner. I was lost. I was lost. I was

430
00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:10.519
<v Speaker 2>so unhappy. Twice I went back to the house because

431
00:22:10.559 --> 00:22:12.799
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't too far away to pick up the phone.

432
00:22:12.839 --> 00:22:16.000
<v Speaker 2>What do you do there sitting look around nobody to

433
00:22:16.079 --> 00:22:19.200
<v Speaker 2>talk to. I mean it was crazy that it's like

434
00:22:20.880 --> 00:22:23.680
<v Speaker 2>a vast emptiness. You could feel it like in a

435
00:22:23.759 --> 00:22:27.000
<v Speaker 2>pit of your stomach. So, yeah, cell phone is incredibly important.

436
00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:29.799
<v Speaker 2>But you know, the predecessor to the cell phone was

437
00:22:29.880 --> 00:22:33.039
<v Speaker 2>the printing press. People again will tell you that the

438
00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:35.640
<v Speaker 2>printing press was one of the most important inventions that

439
00:22:35.720 --> 00:22:38.200
<v Speaker 2>ever back in the cowboy days. There's a method for

440
00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:40.720
<v Speaker 2>people to communicate. You know, when you watch those movies,

441
00:22:40.759 --> 00:22:43.279
<v Speaker 2>you see the sign wanted and all these things, so

442
00:22:43.359 --> 00:22:47.279
<v Speaker 2>they have that. There's another one we don't think about.

443
00:22:47.319 --> 00:22:51.240
<v Speaker 2>We take for granted the incandescent light bulb. You imagine

444
00:22:51.240 --> 00:22:53.400
<v Speaker 2>if we're still lighting the world with candles.

445
00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:57.559
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, electricity, Yeah, yeah.

446
00:22:57.480 --> 00:23:01.559
<v Speaker 2>It's amazing, amazing. Tell me, Jesse, give me an invention.

447
00:23:01.680 --> 00:23:02.319
<v Speaker 2>You can't live.

448
00:23:02.240 --> 00:23:07.000
<v Speaker 4>Without bottled water. Does anybody think about bottle water? Think

449
00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:07.319
<v Speaker 4>about that?

450
00:23:07.440 --> 00:23:09.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the bottles are poisonous.

451
00:23:10.440 --> 00:23:12.799
<v Speaker 3>After those reports that plastic is like the worst thing

452
00:23:12.880 --> 00:23:15.680
<v Speaker 3>ever for you, there's so many glass bottles that are circulating.

453
00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:16.880
<v Speaker 4>Now, what about you, what do you think is a

454
00:23:16.880 --> 00:23:17.359
<v Speaker 4>good invention?

455
00:23:17.599 --> 00:23:23.319
<v Speaker 2>HM? For me? If you're asking me what's important to me,

456
00:23:24.160 --> 00:23:26.640
<v Speaker 2>I would tell you one of the most important inventions

457
00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:28.240
<v Speaker 2>is heating and air conditioning.

458
00:23:28.920 --> 00:23:30.839
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's fair, believe it.

459
00:23:30.920 --> 00:23:32.440
<v Speaker 2>Or I grew up at a building when I was

460
00:23:32.519 --> 00:23:36.400
<v Speaker 2>really young in the city projects that wasn't wired for

461
00:23:36.519 --> 00:23:40.640
<v Speaker 2>air conditioning. Can you believe it? Because the tenants weren't paying,

462
00:23:40.920 --> 00:23:44.200
<v Speaker 2>they didn't fill it up with air conditioning events. It

463
00:23:44.440 --> 00:23:47.920
<v Speaker 2>was a misery. It was a misery in the summer.

464
00:23:48.559 --> 00:23:51.640
<v Speaker 2>Oh crazy, So air conditioning.

465
00:23:51.200 --> 00:23:53.799
<v Speaker 4>You know, it's yeah, you know, it's an amazing invention.

466
00:23:54.279 --> 00:23:58.480
<v Speaker 4>The toilet not a good society.

467
00:23:58.599 --> 00:24:01.519
<v Speaker 2>Let me tell you, well to the Beatles, why don't

468
00:24:01.519 --> 00:24:05.480
<v Speaker 2>you do it in the road. Yeah, that's a really

469
00:24:05.559 --> 00:24:08.759
<v Speaker 2>great invention, you know, no question about it. All right.

470
00:24:08.839 --> 00:24:10.640
<v Speaker 2>Now it's your turn. What do you have out there

471
00:24:10.680 --> 00:24:13.920
<v Speaker 2>that you can't live without that we take for granted.

472
00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:15.359
<v Speaker 4>A blow dryer?

473
00:24:15.759 --> 00:24:17.759
<v Speaker 2>I need it, I need it. It's important.

474
00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:19.400
<v Speaker 4>What about you?

475
00:24:21.000 --> 00:24:24.599
<v Speaker 2>Oh you come back to me. Huh hmmm. I haven't

476
00:24:24.640 --> 00:24:26.839
<v Speaker 2>given this my thought. I'm ready to talk on the radio,

477
00:24:26.839 --> 00:24:30.079
<v Speaker 2>and I haven't given enough thought. Well, of course, the automobile.

478
00:24:30.119 --> 00:24:33.079
<v Speaker 2>Where would we be without an automobile? I mean, it's

479
00:24:33.240 --> 00:24:36.720
<v Speaker 2>changed the world in which we live, and I love cars.

480
00:24:36.759 --> 00:24:40.599
<v Speaker 2>I love what they represent and really made the world smaller.

481
00:24:40.720 --> 00:24:42.480
<v Speaker 2>Before we finish, we're going to talk about I got

482
00:24:42.519 --> 00:24:44.640
<v Speaker 2>a great question for you. I'm not ready to talk

483
00:24:44.640 --> 00:24:46.359
<v Speaker 2>about it. Yes, I'll give you a chance to think.

484
00:24:46.759 --> 00:24:50.839
<v Speaker 2>What hasn't been invented that you want to be invented?

485
00:24:51.079 --> 00:24:51.640
<v Speaker 2>Good question?

486
00:24:51.759 --> 00:24:55.480
<v Speaker 3>But yet I think, I mean, when you think about it,

487
00:24:55.920 --> 00:24:59.240
<v Speaker 3>the airplane. What an invention to get across the country?

488
00:24:59.319 --> 00:25:00.440
<v Speaker 4>When what what do we do?

489
00:25:00.519 --> 00:25:02.119
<v Speaker 3>Back in the day, we were on ships that took

490
00:25:02.559 --> 00:25:05.759
<v Speaker 3>months to get from A to B. It's amazing the airplane.

491
00:25:05.799 --> 00:25:09.440
<v Speaker 3>And now I've seen I've seen reports that they're trying

492
00:25:09.440 --> 00:25:12.079
<v Speaker 3>to build a hypersonic airplane that could take you to

493
00:25:12.160 --> 00:25:13.559
<v Speaker 3>New York to London in an hour.

494
00:25:13.799 --> 00:25:15.039
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if that'll happen.

495
00:25:14.920 --> 00:25:18.880
<v Speaker 2>But well, it's interesting you mentioned that because the part

496
00:25:18.960 --> 00:25:22.799
<v Speaker 2>of the show that's Thanksgiving, let's say thanks to travel,

497
00:25:23.000 --> 00:25:26.599
<v Speaker 2>and let's say thank you to the airplane. But I

498
00:25:26.720 --> 00:25:29.759
<v Speaker 2>have to say, when it comes to the airplane, it

499
00:25:29.880 --> 00:25:33.680
<v Speaker 2>has not been very good for me politically. I've had

500
00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:38.839
<v Speaker 2>a lot of political problems at places I worked because

501
00:25:38.880 --> 00:25:39.640
<v Speaker 2>of the airplane.

502
00:25:40.480 --> 00:25:41.799
<v Speaker 4>Wait, what do you mean politically.

503
00:25:42.680 --> 00:25:47.039
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So you mentioned hypersonic plights. I used to travel

504
00:25:47.079 --> 00:25:50.839
<v Speaker 2>the Concord all the time. One time, the first time,

505
00:25:51.000 --> 00:25:53.119
<v Speaker 2>my boss invites me to go to London on the

506
00:25:53.240 --> 00:25:56.119
<v Speaker 2>Concorde and he says to me, listen, we're going to

507
00:25:56.200 --> 00:25:58.519
<v Speaker 2>leave in the morning. We have meeting in the afternoon,

508
00:25:58.519 --> 00:25:59.960
<v Speaker 2>and then we're having dinner. So we're going to take

509
00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:02.559
<v Speaker 2>the concorder. Allows us to get there and we'll be

510
00:26:02.640 --> 00:26:04.480
<v Speaker 2>able to do everything. It still be the same day.

511
00:26:04.519 --> 00:26:06.240
<v Speaker 2>We'll go home. Tomorrow, we'll be home. We wouldn't even

512
00:26:06.279 --> 00:26:10.519
<v Speaker 2>miss New York. But it is amazing. So I said, great.

513
00:26:10.880 --> 00:26:13.160
<v Speaker 2>So I said to myself, you know, I'm going to

514
00:26:13.279 --> 00:26:16.279
<v Speaker 2>have to change my clothes. I'm going to bring one suitcase.

515
00:26:17.039 --> 00:26:19.279
<v Speaker 2>I bring a suitcase and I decide to check it.

516
00:26:20.079 --> 00:26:23.119
<v Speaker 2>Never thought twice about it. It's concord, small plane. Whatever.

517
00:26:23.559 --> 00:26:26.759
<v Speaker 2>We land in London, my boss starts getting off the plane.

518
00:26:27.119 --> 00:26:29.960
<v Speaker 2>He goes upstairs. You can't the concord the way it

519
00:26:30.039 --> 00:26:32.640
<v Speaker 2>was set up. The bins overhead were so small you

520
00:26:32.680 --> 00:26:35.160
<v Speaker 2>couldn't put anything in but a briefcase. But when you

521
00:26:35.279 --> 00:26:38.720
<v Speaker 2>walked on the plane, the steward or the stewardess would

522
00:26:38.839 --> 00:26:41.319
<v Speaker 2>or the flight attend or whatever's the correct political way

523
00:26:41.400 --> 00:26:43.559
<v Speaker 2>to say it now, would take your bag, and there

524
00:26:43.640 --> 00:26:46.920
<v Speaker 2>was a section for storage on the plane. I didn't

525
00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:49.440
<v Speaker 2>know this. I packed my bag. So he takes this

526
00:26:49.559 --> 00:26:53.640
<v Speaker 2>thing and he starts to walk. I said, I checked

527
00:26:53.680 --> 00:26:56.680
<v Speaker 2>my bag, and in slow motion he was walking in

528
00:26:56.759 --> 00:27:00.279
<v Speaker 2>front of me. He turns around and makes this look

529
00:27:00.319 --> 00:27:03.759
<v Speaker 2>on his face. What did you say to me? I

530
00:27:04.519 --> 00:27:08.119
<v Speaker 2>checked my bag? He said, are you a mutant? We

531
00:27:08.240 --> 00:27:11.000
<v Speaker 2>took the concord. What are you checking a bag for?

532
00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:12.839
<v Speaker 2>You know how to check your bag. We want to

533
00:27:12.839 --> 00:27:14.880
<v Speaker 2>get out of you. I can't believe you check a bag.

534
00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:17.599
<v Speaker 2>I can't believe I'm traveling with an amateur. As it

535
00:27:17.680 --> 00:27:20.319
<v Speaker 2>turns out, my bag was the last one off the plane.

536
00:27:20.559 --> 00:27:23.000
<v Speaker 2>It took twenty five minutes to get the bag. I

537
00:27:23.119 --> 00:27:26.440
<v Speaker 2>was so embarrassed in my life that they never ended.

538
00:27:26.519 --> 00:27:29.359
<v Speaker 2>We got in the car, finally checked your bag.

539
00:27:30.039 --> 00:27:30.599
<v Speaker 4>What are you?

540
00:27:30.880 --> 00:27:33.519
<v Speaker 2>Who are you? Why am I traveling with you? If

541
00:27:33.519 --> 00:27:35.400
<v Speaker 2>you don't know that you don't check a bag on

542
00:27:35.480 --> 00:27:39.000
<v Speaker 2>that concord. So that's one example of political problems.

543
00:27:39.680 --> 00:27:43.079
<v Speaker 4>You have more than one political example of traveling.

544
00:27:44.119 --> 00:27:48.079
<v Speaker 2>Oh, my goodness, my goodness, my goodness. The next one

545
00:27:48.200 --> 00:27:50.680
<v Speaker 2>takes place in the Philippines. You ever been to the Philippines.

546
00:27:50.960 --> 00:27:53.200
<v Speaker 4>I have not. I've been to Japan, I've been to

547
00:27:53.720 --> 00:27:55.119
<v Speaker 4>Hong Kong, never the Philippines.

548
00:27:55.839 --> 00:27:58.240
<v Speaker 2>I had never been to the Philippines either. And I

549
00:27:58.400 --> 00:28:01.440
<v Speaker 2>was in Asia. I was working, you know, I said

550
00:28:01.480 --> 00:28:03.880
<v Speaker 2>in my book again mentioned the book always in fashion.

551
00:28:03.920 --> 00:28:05.960
<v Speaker 2>Yul should buy it, you should read it. But I'm

552
00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:07.920
<v Speaker 2>not really hawking books, nor do I care if you

553
00:28:08.000 --> 00:28:13.200
<v Speaker 2>buy it. Stay stupid your whole lives. Anyway, get my book,

554
00:28:13.240 --> 00:28:16.400
<v Speaker 2>You'll be very thankful. But anyway, I'm in Asia. I'm

555
00:28:16.440 --> 00:28:19.200
<v Speaker 2>in Hong Kong. I just spent two weeks in Hong Kong.

556
00:28:19.279 --> 00:28:22.599
<v Speaker 2>I finished my work and record time. I really really

557
00:28:22.680 --> 00:28:25.920
<v Speaker 2>had a successful trip. I acquired everything we needed. I

558
00:28:25.960 --> 00:28:28.880
<v Speaker 2>got great prices for the company. I carried the flag

559
00:28:28.960 --> 00:28:32.160
<v Speaker 2>well for the company, good political meetings. Everything was great,

560
00:28:32.480 --> 00:28:35.720
<v Speaker 2>made new allies, made new suppliers. I'm done, and I'm

561
00:28:35.799 --> 00:28:37.680
<v Speaker 2>ready to get on the plane the next morning to

562
00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:40.240
<v Speaker 2>fly home. And I get a text from then my

563
00:28:40.440 --> 00:28:43.279
<v Speaker 2>new boss, who I've been working for maybe a couple

564
00:28:43.359 --> 00:28:45.920
<v Speaker 2>of months at Max. He says, I'm coming to Asia tomorrow.

565
00:28:46.319 --> 00:28:48.240
<v Speaker 2>He said, this is Sunday, He says, I'm coming to

566
00:28:48.319 --> 00:28:51.119
<v Speaker 2>Asia on Tuesday, that we'll meet on Wednesday. So I

567
00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:55.160
<v Speaker 2>write them back, it's saturday. I'm ready to go home.

568
00:28:55.559 --> 00:28:58.680
<v Speaker 2>He says, well, we're meeting on Wednesday. I said, I

569
00:28:58.799 --> 00:29:01.640
<v Speaker 2>finished all my work, and he said to me he's

570
00:29:01.680 --> 00:29:05.279
<v Speaker 2>senior VP of whatever his title general merchandise. He smark,

571
00:29:05.359 --> 00:29:07.599
<v Speaker 2>let me repeat it again. I don't care if it's Saturday.

572
00:29:07.640 --> 00:29:09.119
<v Speaker 2>I don't care if it's Monday, I don't care if

573
00:29:09.160 --> 00:29:11.559
<v Speaker 2>it's Wednesday. I'm getting in Wednesday night. We're going to

574
00:29:11.599 --> 00:29:15.000
<v Speaker 2>meet on Thursday. Stick around. I'll see you then. So

575
00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:18.880
<v Speaker 2>I stopped texting. You know, I got really really pissed off,

576
00:29:19.759 --> 00:29:21.880
<v Speaker 2>really really pissed off. I was with two other guys,

577
00:29:21.920 --> 00:29:24.440
<v Speaker 2>one of them was from our office in Asia, and

578
00:29:24.559 --> 00:29:26.839
<v Speaker 2>I said, you know, I'm not sticking around. He said

579
00:29:26.839 --> 00:29:28.240
<v Speaker 2>to me, what do you mean you're not sticking around.

580
00:29:28.559 --> 00:29:30.759
<v Speaker 2>I said, it's going to be the weekend. I want

581
00:29:30.759 --> 00:29:32.759
<v Speaker 2>to enjoy myself. I want to go somewhere i've never been.

582
00:29:32.759 --> 00:29:35.160
<v Speaker 2>I've never been to the Philippines. And he looks at

583
00:29:35.200 --> 00:29:37.759
<v Speaker 2>me like I'm crazy. He says, the Philippines. How are

584
00:29:37.759 --> 00:29:39.519
<v Speaker 2>you going to justify that? I said, I told you,

585
00:29:39.599 --> 00:29:41.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm ready to finish my work. I have nothing to

586
00:29:41.599 --> 00:29:43.519
<v Speaker 2>do here. I did everything we need to do. Well.

587
00:29:43.519 --> 00:29:45.759
<v Speaker 2>You accomplished. You should be going home. You should be

588
00:29:45.839 --> 00:29:47.880
<v Speaker 2>going home. There was another guy from New York. I

589
00:29:47.920 --> 00:29:49.880
<v Speaker 2>should be going home. I don't want to sit around

590
00:29:49.880 --> 00:29:53.359
<v Speaker 2>and with take a vacation. They're like freaking out. They

591
00:29:53.359 --> 00:29:55.839
<v Speaker 2>don't know what to do. I said, you can come

592
00:29:55.920 --> 00:29:58.359
<v Speaker 2>with me. There's no reason you should sit here. So

593
00:29:58.480 --> 00:30:01.920
<v Speaker 2>the three of us TechEd the travel office in Hong

594
00:30:02.039 --> 00:30:04.119
<v Speaker 2>Kong where we are, and I said, book me to

595
00:30:04.160 --> 00:30:06.200
<v Speaker 2>the Philippines. I want to stay in the Manila hotel.

596
00:30:06.559 --> 00:30:07.920
<v Speaker 2>We're going to spend the week that we're gonna fly

597
00:30:08.039 --> 00:30:11.200
<v Speaker 2>home Wednesday night. So I got on an airplane went

598
00:30:11.240 --> 00:30:14.359
<v Speaker 2>to the Philippines to hang out. Now, the Philippines is

599
00:30:14.400 --> 00:30:17.640
<v Speaker 2>an interesting place. Didn't at the time. It felt a

600
00:30:17.720 --> 00:30:20.599
<v Speaker 2>little like an arm camp at the time. But beautiful

601
00:30:20.680 --> 00:30:24.119
<v Speaker 2>beach is beautiful hotel. I loved it. And here we

602
00:30:24.240 --> 00:30:27.240
<v Speaker 2>are staying on the beach, getting out tan, hanging out

603
00:30:27.279 --> 00:30:30.160
<v Speaker 2>in the beach. And I got a text Wednesday night.

604
00:30:30.400 --> 00:30:32.359
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know. We wanted to have dinner. Where are

605
00:30:32.400 --> 00:30:34.680
<v Speaker 2>you I'm having dinner? What time you were coming down,

606
00:30:35.279 --> 00:30:40.759
<v Speaker 2>and I said, uh, well, I'm stuttering and I didn't

607
00:30:40.759 --> 00:30:43.599
<v Speaker 2>even text it yet. I said, we're still in the Philippines,

608
00:30:44.039 --> 00:30:48.119
<v Speaker 2>so silence. What are you doing in the Philippines? Silence?

609
00:30:48.839 --> 00:30:51.519
<v Speaker 2>Hanging out? What do you mean hanging out? Are you

610
00:30:51.680 --> 00:30:55.279
<v Speaker 2>visiting with suppliers? Did you have business meetings there? Silence?

611
00:30:55.559 --> 00:30:55.599
<v Speaker 1>No?

612
00:30:56.240 --> 00:30:58.519
<v Speaker 2>Then what are you doing there waiting for you? You

613
00:30:59.640 --> 00:31:01.559
<v Speaker 2>were in a Hong Kong. Who authorized you to go

614
00:31:01.599 --> 00:31:05.440
<v Speaker 2>to the Philippines? Silence. I didn't think I need authorization.

615
00:31:05.680 --> 00:31:13.920
<v Speaker 2>I should have been going home. I will see you tomorrow. Yeah,

616
00:31:14.119 --> 00:31:16.759
<v Speaker 2>I'll see you tomorrow that following morning. Now, this is

617
00:31:16.839 --> 00:31:19.160
<v Speaker 2>my new boss. He was seeing the VP exact VP.

618
00:31:19.400 --> 00:31:21.480
<v Speaker 2>I was a VP. He was a heavyweight, and you

619
00:31:21.519 --> 00:31:23.680
<v Speaker 2>know he was pissed. He looks at me. He said,

620
00:31:23.680 --> 00:31:26.400
<v Speaker 2>mister Weber, you do know how companies work, don't you?

621
00:31:27.160 --> 00:31:29.640
<v Speaker 2>I said, in what regard? He said, who you work for?

622
00:31:30.359 --> 00:31:32.319
<v Speaker 2>I said yes. He said, I told you I want

623
00:31:32.359 --> 00:31:34.599
<v Speaker 2>to meet me with you Thursday. I said, it's Thursday.

624
00:31:34.640 --> 00:31:36.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm here because I didn't tell you to go take

625
00:31:36.720 --> 00:31:39.200
<v Speaker 2>a vacation in the Philippines. No, you didn't. I did

626
00:31:39.240 --> 00:31:43.599
<v Speaker 2>that on my own. So he said who's paying for it?

627
00:31:44.160 --> 00:31:46.160
<v Speaker 2>I said, I used a company credit card. Who would

628
00:31:46.200 --> 00:31:50.400
<v Speaker 2>be paying for it? Silence? Silence, He said, mister Weber,

629
00:31:50.720 --> 00:31:52.720
<v Speaker 2>I would call you Mark, but I'm really upset with

630
00:31:52.799 --> 00:31:55.799
<v Speaker 2>you right now. No one authorized you to take a vacation,

631
00:31:56.319 --> 00:31:58.359
<v Speaker 2>I said, you know what, his name was John. In

632
00:31:58.440 --> 00:32:00.240
<v Speaker 2>the history of my time with the company, I've been

633
00:32:00.279 --> 00:32:02.920
<v Speaker 2>to Asia, probably at this point thirty times, and in

634
00:32:03.039 --> 00:32:05.519
<v Speaker 2>thirty times, no one ever asked me to stay longer

635
00:32:05.559 --> 00:32:07.440
<v Speaker 2>than I had to. Having been away for two weeks,

636
00:32:07.680 --> 00:32:10.079
<v Speaker 2>you asked me to stay. I stayed. I spent some

637
00:32:10.240 --> 00:32:13.599
<v Speaker 2>quiet downtime over the weekend in the Philippines. Did you

638
00:32:13.680 --> 00:32:14.640
<v Speaker 2>take any appointments?

639
00:32:14.799 --> 00:32:14.839
<v Speaker 3>No?

640
00:32:15.200 --> 00:32:17.440
<v Speaker 2>Why not? I instructed our team that I didn't want

641
00:32:17.440 --> 00:32:19.200
<v Speaker 2>to have any meetings. We were taking the time off.

642
00:32:20.319 --> 00:32:22.640
<v Speaker 2>He was so pissed. So when I say to you,

643
00:32:23.279 --> 00:32:27.839
<v Speaker 2>I had trouble with airplanes, you know this is the

644
00:32:28.000 --> 00:32:29.440
<v Speaker 2>kind of thing I was talking about.

645
00:32:29.559 --> 00:32:31.480
<v Speaker 4>Why were you such a wise guy? To him?

646
00:32:31.839 --> 00:32:34.640
<v Speaker 2>The honest answer, because I could be. I was so

647
00:32:34.839 --> 00:32:38.839
<v Speaker 2>highly regarded at this time. I walked on water. I

648
00:32:38.920 --> 00:32:41.000
<v Speaker 2>didn't do it without knowing that there was nothing he

649
00:32:41.079 --> 00:32:43.839
<v Speaker 2>can do. He was new to the position. He desperately

650
00:32:43.960 --> 00:32:46.119
<v Speaker 2>needed me at the time. He didn't need me in

651
00:32:46.200 --> 00:32:48.079
<v Speaker 2>the pat in the future, you know, no, it did.

652
00:32:48.440 --> 00:32:52.119
<v Speaker 2>No one's irreplaceable. But at that moment in time, doing

653
00:32:52.200 --> 00:32:54.240
<v Speaker 2>the job I was doing, he had nowhere to go,

654
00:32:54.319 --> 00:32:55.200
<v Speaker 2>and I knew I had him.

655
00:32:55.880 --> 00:32:59.960
<v Speaker 4>So I'm imagining this is the only other political issue

656
00:33:00.039 --> 00:33:00.480
<v Speaker 4>that you've had.

657
00:33:00.559 --> 00:33:06.759
<v Speaker 2>Traveling not so fast, all right. You know, I used

658
00:33:06.759 --> 00:33:10.200
<v Speaker 2>to enjoy hanging out in the sun. Before you know,

659
00:33:10.319 --> 00:33:12.400
<v Speaker 2>we all realized how danger it is. I used to

660
00:33:12.519 --> 00:33:14.720
<v Speaker 2>love it. And I was with a group of people

661
00:33:14.799 --> 00:33:18.119
<v Speaker 2>in Taiwan staying the Grand Hotel in Taiwan. The Grand

662
00:33:18.160 --> 00:33:21.079
<v Speaker 2>Hotel in Taiwan is the biggest hotel you've ever seen.

663
00:33:21.640 --> 00:33:25.400
<v Speaker 2>It's I can't explain it. Every room it's first of all,

664
00:33:25.440 --> 00:33:29.920
<v Speaker 2>it's modeled after ancient China. Every room has floor to

665
00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:32.519
<v Speaker 2>ceilings got to be thirty feet. It's all in that

666
00:33:32.799 --> 00:33:37.279
<v Speaker 2>old mahogany wood. The beds are used. My floor must

667
00:33:37.319 --> 00:33:39.359
<v Speaker 2>have been three thousand square feet. It was the nicest

668
00:33:39.400 --> 00:33:42.079
<v Speaker 2>room in the world, and they had the greatest swimming pool.

669
00:33:42.519 --> 00:33:44.640
<v Speaker 2>And people who knew when they travel, if they had

670
00:33:44.640 --> 00:33:46.839
<v Speaker 2>to go to Taiwan and they needed to be there

671
00:33:46.920 --> 00:33:49.519
<v Speaker 2>near the weekend. They stay in Taiwan at that hotel

672
00:33:49.599 --> 00:33:52.119
<v Speaker 2>for the weekend because between the tennis courts and the

673
00:33:52.200 --> 00:33:54.960
<v Speaker 2>swimming pool and the weather is always beautiful, great place

674
00:33:55.039 --> 00:33:58.119
<v Speaker 2>to stay, so no reason to get in trouble, right,

675
00:33:58.720 --> 00:34:01.759
<v Speaker 2>So what happened? Good question, now that you asked. So

676
00:34:02.559 --> 00:34:06.839
<v Speaker 2>Saturday night, we stayed the day in Taiwan, stayed by

677
00:34:06.920 --> 00:34:11.119
<v Speaker 2>the pool. It was unbelievably gorgeous, and the next day

678
00:34:11.320 --> 00:34:14.519
<v Speaker 2>Sunday was going to be even more gorgeous. And instead

679
00:34:14.519 --> 00:34:17.039
<v Speaker 2>of having to fly in on Saturday in the morning,

680
00:34:17.079 --> 00:34:18.880
<v Speaker 2>we got there at twelve. We didn't have a full day.

681
00:34:19.320 --> 00:34:22.159
<v Speaker 2>I said to myself, can you imagine how great it

682
00:34:22.199 --> 00:34:24.320
<v Speaker 2>would be to stay here a full day, wake up

683
00:34:24.360 --> 00:34:26.440
<v Speaker 2>in the morning, have breakfast, go down to the pool,

684
00:34:26.639 --> 00:34:28.920
<v Speaker 2>play some tennis with everybody, and have a great time,

685
00:34:29.280 --> 00:34:31.880
<v Speaker 2>and then fly to Hong Kong on Monday. Like we

686
00:34:32.000 --> 00:34:35.559
<v Speaker 2>all agreed in the first place. There is one problem though.

687
00:34:36.000 --> 00:34:38.679
<v Speaker 2>The president of the company, who's a very close business

688
00:34:38.760 --> 00:34:41.800
<v Speaker 2>friend of mine, was having a birthday party Sunday night,

689
00:34:42.199 --> 00:34:44.119
<v Speaker 2>and a lot of people from the Hong Kong office

690
00:34:44.159 --> 00:34:47.559
<v Speaker 2>were going as well as me and my entourage of

691
00:34:47.639 --> 00:34:50.280
<v Speaker 2>eight people, and I had a choice to make go

692
00:34:50.519 --> 00:34:53.400
<v Speaker 2>to his birthday party and eat another Chinese dinner with

693
00:34:53.519 --> 00:34:56.760
<v Speaker 2>our Chinese office, or take the day off and stay

694
00:34:56.920 --> 00:35:00.679
<v Speaker 2>in Hong Kong and miss his birthday party. Guess which

695
00:35:00.760 --> 00:35:04.639
<v Speaker 2>I did. Stayed in Taiwan, I stayed at the Grand Hotel,

696
00:35:05.079 --> 00:35:07.760
<v Speaker 2>didn't show up for the party. He got crazy. We

697
00:35:07.880 --> 00:35:10.519
<v Speaker 2>worked together for the next ten years. You couldn't have

698
00:35:10.719 --> 00:35:13.599
<v Speaker 2>people who liked each other more, respected each other more,

699
00:35:13.840 --> 00:35:16.320
<v Speaker 2>who enjoyed each other more. He was more of a

700
00:35:16.440 --> 00:35:19.440
<v Speaker 2>father than a boss to me. Never forgave me.

701
00:35:20.239 --> 00:35:20.280
<v Speaker 3>So.

702
00:35:20.400 --> 00:35:23.840
<v Speaker 2>When it comes to inventions, in particular the airplane, while

703
00:35:23.880 --> 00:35:26.400
<v Speaker 2>I love it, it just made the world a small place.

704
00:35:26.679 --> 00:35:30.920
<v Speaker 2>It's taken me everywhere you can possibly manage. Politically, it

705
00:35:31.159 --> 00:35:35.199
<v Speaker 2>hasn't been a good friend, Okay, Jesse. Now the best

706
00:35:35.320 --> 00:35:40.159
<v Speaker 2>question of all, best question ever on inventions. What invention

707
00:35:40.639 --> 00:35:43.559
<v Speaker 2>hasn't been invented yet that you'd like to be invented?

708
00:35:44.280 --> 00:35:47.599
<v Speaker 3>You mean, aside from the cure to every single disease.

709
00:35:47.719 --> 00:35:48.679
<v Speaker 3>Put that to the side.

710
00:35:48.840 --> 00:35:50.920
<v Speaker 4>I would say this is I've been thought about this

711
00:35:51.039 --> 00:35:52.920
<v Speaker 4>a while. Teleportation.

712
00:35:53.840 --> 00:35:56.480
<v Speaker 3>How amazing would it be to teleport wherever you want

713
00:35:56.519 --> 00:35:58.239
<v Speaker 3>to go, anywhere, at any time?

714
00:35:59.000 --> 00:36:02.639
<v Speaker 4>Great idea, I want to go anywhere I want at

715
00:36:02.719 --> 00:36:05.000
<v Speaker 4>any time. That's what I think. That would be an

716
00:36:05.039 --> 00:36:06.280
<v Speaker 4>amazing life.

717
00:36:06.840 --> 00:36:13.119
<v Speaker 2>And is your teleportation instantaneous instantaneous? Oh, that's a great one.

718
00:36:13.800 --> 00:36:16.920
<v Speaker 2>What about you, You're almost touched on it. I want

719
00:36:16.960 --> 00:36:19.599
<v Speaker 2>a fountain a youth. I want to be twenty three

720
00:36:19.679 --> 00:36:24.920
<v Speaker 2>years old again. You imagine anybody in this world who

721
00:36:25.000 --> 00:36:28.079
<v Speaker 2>could get young again? What they pay for it? What

722
00:36:28.280 --> 00:36:32.079
<v Speaker 2>a what an incredible idea to get young again. I

723
00:36:32.159 --> 00:36:34.480
<v Speaker 2>would like that to happen. And by the way, if

724
00:36:34.559 --> 00:36:38.480
<v Speaker 2>it is, let's go, let's make it soon. I miss

725
00:36:38.559 --> 00:36:41.800
<v Speaker 2>those days at twenty three. So yeah, that would be

726
00:36:41.840 --> 00:36:42.280
<v Speaker 2>a great one.

727
00:36:42.480 --> 00:36:44.400
<v Speaker 3>That's a good one. That's a good one. I can't

728
00:36:44.440 --> 00:36:45.719
<v Speaker 3>I can't deny. That's a great one.

729
00:36:46.519 --> 00:36:47.960
<v Speaker 2>And those of you who look in the mirror all

730
00:36:48.039 --> 00:36:51.440
<v Speaker 2>the time, I'm sure some of you are thinking hair growth,

731
00:36:52.320 --> 00:36:56.079
<v Speaker 2>elimination of humidity in your hair, elimination of wrinkles.

732
00:36:56.239 --> 00:37:01.400
<v Speaker 3>They you know, like like what's it called weight loss drugs,

733
00:37:01.519 --> 00:37:04.239
<v Speaker 3>instantaneous weight loss drugs, but those have already been invented,

734
00:37:04.280 --> 00:37:05.320
<v Speaker 3>have kind of caused issues.

735
00:37:06.199 --> 00:37:08.440
<v Speaker 2>I'd like to invent good tastes for all of you

736
00:37:08.559 --> 00:37:11.320
<v Speaker 2>out there. Have absolutely the worst taste so many of you.

737
00:37:11.400 --> 00:37:13.360
<v Speaker 2>If it wasn't for bad taste, I have no taste

738
00:37:13.400 --> 00:37:15.519
<v Speaker 2>at all. I wish I could just teach everyone how

739
00:37:15.559 --> 00:37:17.760
<v Speaker 2>to dress so I wouldn't have to look at you

740
00:37:17.880 --> 00:37:21.159
<v Speaker 2>the way you do. I would re uninvent shorts and

741
00:37:21.360 --> 00:37:24.039
<v Speaker 2>uninvent sandals for men. I would do a whole bunch

742
00:37:24.079 --> 00:37:27.079
<v Speaker 2>of things. You uninvent brown shoes on navy suits. No

743
00:37:27.239 --> 00:37:30.199
<v Speaker 2>brown shoes at night, for sure. But having said that,

744
00:37:30.920 --> 00:37:35.239
<v Speaker 2>I'm thankful for inventions. Having said that, if you're listening closely,

745
00:37:35.599 --> 00:37:40.079
<v Speaker 2>there's some good lessons there. Back in a minute. Always

746
00:37:40.360 --> 00:37:44.199
<v Speaker 2>in fashion, I spent a lifetime of my career building

747
00:37:44.400 --> 00:37:47.519
<v Speaker 2>the van Usen Brand, and I am so pleased that

748
00:37:47.639 --> 00:37:52.519
<v Speaker 2>they're back with us now talking about suits. Men were

749
00:37:52.599 --> 00:37:55.840
<v Speaker 2>dressing up again, and it's become cool to wear a suit.

750
00:37:56.239 --> 00:38:00.199
<v Speaker 2>Suits can be won on multiplccasions in multiple ways. Could

751
00:38:00.199 --> 00:38:02.440
<v Speaker 2>wear a suit formally to go out at night or

752
00:38:02.480 --> 00:38:04.960
<v Speaker 2>to an event, to wear a suit to the office

753
00:38:05.000 --> 00:38:07.639
<v Speaker 2>with or without a tie. If you look closely, now

754
00:38:07.760 --> 00:38:11.480
<v Speaker 2>fashion trends, suits are being worn with turtlenecks or mack next,

755
00:38:12.000 --> 00:38:17.199
<v Speaker 2>the choices are endless, and every one of them looks right.

756
00:38:17.519 --> 00:38:20.760
<v Speaker 2>You could really, really look the part. I believe that

757
00:38:21.280 --> 00:38:24.320
<v Speaker 2>packaging yourself is as important does the products you package,

758
00:38:24.639 --> 00:38:26.519
<v Speaker 2>and wearing a suit is one of those things that

759
00:38:26.800 --> 00:38:31.320
<v Speaker 2>make men look their best. Venues In invented a new idea.

760
00:38:31.440 --> 00:38:34.840
<v Speaker 2>It's called the cool Flex suit. It's been engineered with

761
00:38:35.000 --> 00:38:38.920
<v Speaker 2>stretch technology, giving you the most comfortable fit and mobility.

762
00:38:39.199 --> 00:38:43.000
<v Speaker 2>Its wrinkle resistant fabric, it's cool moisture WICKI it makes

763
00:38:43.079 --> 00:38:46.119
<v Speaker 2>it perfect for all occasions. As we discussed just now,

764
00:38:46.559 --> 00:38:50.159
<v Speaker 2>this new style of looking sharp while feeling cool and

765
00:38:50.239 --> 00:38:53.800
<v Speaker 2>comfortable is amazing, and I'm so excited that the ven

766
00:38:53.880 --> 00:38:57.800
<v Speaker 2>Using company is involved in this new technology and is

767
00:38:57.920 --> 00:39:01.639
<v Speaker 2>embracing the whole idea of dressing up. Let's not forget

768
00:39:01.760 --> 00:39:04.400
<v Speaker 2>van Using made its name with dress shirts. It's only

769
00:39:04.599 --> 00:39:08.159
<v Speaker 2>proper that the suit business follows strongly in its way.

770
00:39:08.719 --> 00:39:11.840
<v Speaker 2>You can find van Using cool Flex Men's stretch suits

771
00:39:11.840 --> 00:39:17.159
<v Speaker 2>at jcpenny or online at jcpenny dot com. Guys, they're great.

772
00:39:17.239 --> 00:39:20.440
<v Speaker 2>You should go look at them. I've been shopping for

773
00:39:20.559 --> 00:39:23.039
<v Speaker 2>fun lately, and while I'm out, I always look at

774
00:39:23.119 --> 00:39:25.159
<v Speaker 2>men's and I look at women's. What's going on? And

775
00:39:25.280 --> 00:39:29.599
<v Speaker 2>I was particularly interested in DKY because of their sponsorship

776
00:39:29.639 --> 00:39:33.280
<v Speaker 2>of the show. I went downstairs at Macy's thirty fourth

777
00:39:33.320 --> 00:39:36.320
<v Speaker 2>Street to look around and I saw DKY Activewear, and

778
00:39:36.400 --> 00:39:40.199
<v Speaker 2>I promise you, ladies, it is sensational. From the sports

779
00:39:40.320 --> 00:39:43.599
<v Speaker 2>bras to the crop tops, to the leggings and the sweats.

780
00:39:43.960 --> 00:39:46.360
<v Speaker 2>It really is a great look. And dk Y had

781
00:39:46.480 --> 00:39:51.400
<v Speaker 2>begun as an all American brand dressing casual clothes engines,

782
00:39:51.480 --> 00:39:54.480
<v Speaker 2>and the stuff looks incredible and right now the colors

783
00:39:55.000 --> 00:39:57.800
<v Speaker 2>and the styles is so exciting that I feel great

784
00:39:57.800 --> 00:40:00.800
<v Speaker 2>about the company. I always do. I wear the men's

785
00:40:00.840 --> 00:40:04.079
<v Speaker 2>were all the time. I've had situations where I've gone

786
00:40:04.119 --> 00:40:07.639
<v Speaker 2>to big events and been interviewed TV or the radio,

787
00:40:07.760 --> 00:40:09.880
<v Speaker 2>and someone comes up to me with a microphone and

788
00:40:10.039 --> 00:40:12.480
<v Speaker 2>like they always do, who you're wearing? And here I am,

789
00:40:12.559 --> 00:40:14.559
<v Speaker 2>this big shot with big company and they say, well,

790
00:40:14.559 --> 00:40:17.119
<v Speaker 2>I'm wearing a DKY and they laugh and say, no,

791
00:40:17.199 --> 00:40:19.119
<v Speaker 2>you're not. I actually have one on the internet where

792
00:40:19.159 --> 00:40:22.039
<v Speaker 2>you could see me. They asked me what suit I'm wearing,

793
00:40:22.079 --> 00:40:23.639
<v Speaker 2>and I say dk and why and open it up

794
00:40:23.639 --> 00:40:27.079
<v Speaker 2>and there's the DKY label. Great fashion, It fits well,

795
00:40:27.280 --> 00:40:30.880
<v Speaker 2>it looks right. It's designed to make you comfortable in

796
00:40:30.960 --> 00:40:33.159
<v Speaker 2>the city. Goes from day and tonight. You could wear

797
00:40:33.159 --> 00:40:34.840
<v Speaker 2>it in the morning, you wear it in the afternoon,

798
00:40:34.920 --> 00:40:36.639
<v Speaker 2>and you look cool at night as well. It's great

799
00:40:36.639 --> 00:40:39.000
<v Speaker 2>for the office, it's a great for leisure. But I'm

800
00:40:39.000 --> 00:40:42.079
<v Speaker 2>talking about the DKY activewear. The first time I really

801
00:40:42.159 --> 00:40:44.960
<v Speaker 2>became aware of Jesse and I were up at Sirius Radio.

802
00:40:45.360 --> 00:40:48.440
<v Speaker 2>He was doing a job for Serious He does Dan

803
00:40:48.559 --> 00:40:52.039
<v Speaker 2>Abrams show, he fills in on the Potus Network, and

804
00:40:52.119 --> 00:40:54.079
<v Speaker 2>we were in the lobby and this hip hop group

805
00:40:54.199 --> 00:40:59.800
<v Speaker 2>came up with this really great looking Latino singer girl

806
00:41:00.320 --> 00:41:03.159
<v Speaker 2>young beautiful, and she was wearing a DKY sports bra,

807
00:41:03.320 --> 00:41:05.719
<v Speaker 2>and I said to myself, this is amazing. Actually went

808
00:41:05.760 --> 00:41:08.960
<v Speaker 2>to Macy's to see it, and I'm excited about the brand.

809
00:41:09.119 --> 00:41:11.519
<v Speaker 2>And I tell you what, ladies, DKY always has great

810
00:41:11.559 --> 00:41:15.960
<v Speaker 2>fashion for work, always wonderful dresses and things that you'd wear.

811
00:41:16.000 --> 00:41:19.480
<v Speaker 2>Their accessories are great, the shoes are always very cool.

812
00:41:19.800 --> 00:41:22.480
<v Speaker 2>But active wear in particular right now looks sensational and

813
00:41:22.559 --> 00:41:25.400
<v Speaker 2>being that everyone's athleasure and active where it's a great time.

814
00:41:25.519 --> 00:41:26.760
<v Speaker 2>Dkhy go take a.

815
00:41:26.800 --> 00:41:31.039
<v Speaker 4>Look, welcome back to it. Always in fashion. Here's your host,

816
00:41:31.360 --> 00:41:32.000
<v Speaker 4>Mark Webber.

817
00:41:32.480 --> 00:41:34.000
<v Speaker 2>You know, I have such a good time tonight. I

818
00:41:34.039 --> 00:41:35.920
<v Speaker 2>didn't even get to what the show was really about.

819
00:41:36.519 --> 00:41:39.960
<v Speaker 2>What happened really to me this week is I saw

820
00:41:41.360 --> 00:41:45.320
<v Speaker 2>the movie Tom Cruise The Firm, where he remembered that

821
00:41:45.480 --> 00:41:47.719
<v Speaker 2>the law He went back and remembered that the law

822
00:41:48.000 --> 00:41:50.800
<v Speaker 2>was this answer to the puzzle in this movie The Firm,

823
00:41:50.840 --> 00:41:52.239
<v Speaker 2>And I want to go into the movie. You don't

824
00:41:52.280 --> 00:41:54.239
<v Speaker 2>know it too bad, You should go watch. It's a

825
00:41:54.280 --> 00:41:57.480
<v Speaker 2>great movie, only be greater, not quite as great as

826
00:41:57.519 --> 00:42:00.400
<v Speaker 2>a few Good Men, but two great movies. But what

827
00:42:00.519 --> 00:42:03.559
<v Speaker 2>it did for me, it remembered for me. I had

828
00:42:03.599 --> 00:42:05.519
<v Speaker 2>a fellow who asked me to send him a copy

829
00:42:05.559 --> 00:42:07.079
<v Speaker 2>of the book, a friend of the named named Michael,

830
00:42:07.599 --> 00:42:10.079
<v Speaker 2>and he sent me his copy. I signed it and

831
00:42:10.159 --> 00:42:11.719
<v Speaker 2>sent it back to him. And when I was looking

832
00:42:11.800 --> 00:42:13.719
<v Speaker 2>at his book, I happened to notice on the back

833
00:42:13.800 --> 00:42:16.719
<v Speaker 2>page one of the quotes given by a fellow named

834
00:42:16.719 --> 00:42:21.159
<v Speaker 2>Gilbert Harrison, who wrote in a chapter called in case

835
00:42:21.239 --> 00:42:24.960
<v Speaker 2>you weren't paying attention, Gilbert Harrison wrote a fascinating tale

836
00:42:25.239 --> 00:42:27.800
<v Speaker 2>about the book. He wrote about the book, a fascinating

837
00:42:27.880 --> 00:42:31.239
<v Speaker 2>tale with the most intriguing chapter featuring Weber's forty three

838
00:42:31.360 --> 00:42:36.039
<v Speaker 2>lessons everyone should consider to becoming a success, and it

839
00:42:36.119 --> 00:42:37.840
<v Speaker 2>reminded me that I went and I looked at the

840
00:42:37.920 --> 00:42:40.320
<v Speaker 2>forty one lessons. I went and looked at the forty

841
00:42:40.360 --> 00:42:42.400
<v Speaker 2>three lessons, and that's where the whole show came from.

842
00:42:42.679 --> 00:42:44.719
<v Speaker 2>Having said that we have so of these topics to cover.

843
00:42:44.800 --> 00:42:47.159
<v Speaker 2>I didn't get it until just now, and I wanted

844
00:42:47.199 --> 00:42:51.039
<v Speaker 2>to give you a little insight. I over time intended

845
00:42:51.079 --> 00:42:53.440
<v Speaker 2>to do all forty three of those lessons and talk

846
00:42:53.519 --> 00:42:56.280
<v Speaker 2>about them, particularly those that I haven't ever covered before.

847
00:42:56.920 --> 00:42:59.440
<v Speaker 2>Don't get nervous. I don't have time tonight to do

848
00:42:59.519 --> 00:43:02.320
<v Speaker 2>all forty one. I'll pick the first one in the book,

849
00:43:02.840 --> 00:43:04.679
<v Speaker 2>and maybe then I'll make an impression with you, and

850
00:43:04.800 --> 00:43:07.199
<v Speaker 2>on a night we're talking Thanksgiving at the same time,

851
00:43:07.679 --> 00:43:09.599
<v Speaker 2>something that you might give thanks to when you think

852
00:43:09.639 --> 00:43:13.159
<v Speaker 2>about it all alone. This is a career lesson. When

853
00:43:13.199 --> 00:43:16.920
<v Speaker 2>I first started working, I was so respectful of all

854
00:43:16.960 --> 00:43:21.159
<v Speaker 2>the people around me. I realized that as a team,

855
00:43:21.960 --> 00:43:24.760
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't like baseball. When I played baseball, everyone on

856
00:43:24.880 --> 00:43:27.280
<v Speaker 2>the baseball team had a role. Now I'm in corporate

857
00:43:27.320 --> 00:43:29.360
<v Speaker 2>life with no experience of sitting around a room and

858
00:43:29.400 --> 00:43:33.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm watching everyone has a different role, and the team

859
00:43:33.599 --> 00:43:36.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm with I see as a financial officer who's talking

860
00:43:36.559 --> 00:43:39.519
<v Speaker 2>about the money and the finances. There's a sales team

861
00:43:39.639 --> 00:43:42.320
<v Speaker 2>talking about what they need to get done. There's an

862
00:43:42.360 --> 00:43:45.519
<v Speaker 2>operation team whose job it is to take all the ideas,

863
00:43:45.639 --> 00:43:47.880
<v Speaker 2>make products and make sure they get delivered on time.

864
00:43:48.320 --> 00:43:50.679
<v Speaker 2>And of course there was a design team that's sitting

865
00:43:50.760 --> 00:43:53.519
<v Speaker 2>there coming up with the ideas of what will be next.

866
00:43:54.119 --> 00:43:56.559
<v Speaker 2>And it doesn't matter what business you're in. Pretty much,

867
00:43:56.639 --> 00:43:59.880
<v Speaker 2>I just define those most important things. I'm not counting.

868
00:44:00.159 --> 00:44:03.000
<v Speaker 2>Concluded is I'm not kind of a warehouse. I should,

869
00:44:03.079 --> 00:44:05.639
<v Speaker 2>but I'm not because they were represented as well. But

870
00:44:06.239 --> 00:44:09.360
<v Speaker 2>those few jobs are what make companies run. It doesn't

871
00:44:09.400 --> 00:44:12.159
<v Speaker 2>matter if you're selling automobiles, you're selling shirts, or you're

872
00:44:12.199 --> 00:44:15.320
<v Speaker 2>selling rocket ships. So all the same principles have to

873
00:44:15.400 --> 00:44:19.920
<v Speaker 2>come in play. Ideas, selling them, paying for them, and

874
00:44:20.000 --> 00:44:22.320
<v Speaker 2>then delivering on the idea. And I'm in this room,

875
00:44:22.840 --> 00:44:25.239
<v Speaker 2>which was called at the time of bull session where

876
00:44:25.239 --> 00:44:28.440
<v Speaker 2>everyone came together. The designers in the company would present

877
00:44:28.519 --> 00:44:31.239
<v Speaker 2>their ideas and everyone would look and rate them and

878
00:44:31.360 --> 00:44:33.280
<v Speaker 2>decide what to go and what to do from that.

879
00:44:34.159 --> 00:44:37.519
<v Speaker 2>And I sat in that room and I realized, watching

880
00:44:38.079 --> 00:44:41.920
<v Speaker 2>these designs so hard, We're working so hard to convince

881
00:44:42.079 --> 00:44:46.360
<v Speaker 2>everyone that their ideas would make sense and that they

882
00:44:46.440 --> 00:44:50.360
<v Speaker 2>should be told go forward with everything you suggested. You're brilliant,

883
00:44:50.440 --> 00:44:53.079
<v Speaker 2>we get it, we'd love it, Just go ahead. It

884
00:44:53.159 --> 00:44:55.760
<v Speaker 2>didn't work that way. It didn't work that way when

885
00:44:55.800 --> 00:44:58.480
<v Speaker 2>it got into financial side. You know, the financial guy

886
00:44:58.519 --> 00:45:01.599
<v Speaker 2>would say something to the effect of, our shirts have

887
00:45:01.679 --> 00:45:04.360
<v Speaker 2>to sell for twenty five dollars. If we use that

888
00:45:04.519 --> 00:45:07.960
<v Speaker 2>fabricus suggesting, and we use that quality of details in

889
00:45:08.039 --> 00:45:10.599
<v Speaker 2>the collars and the cuffs, we'll we be able to

890
00:45:10.719 --> 00:45:13.679
<v Speaker 2>sell that shirt for twenty five dollars and make money.

891
00:45:14.559 --> 00:45:17.920
<v Speaker 2>The designer couldn't answer the question because those days or

892
00:45:18.000 --> 00:45:23.000
<v Speaker 2>that particular designer didn't understand his own finances. How could

893
00:45:23.039 --> 00:45:25.599
<v Speaker 2>you be valid? How could you be designer? How could

894
00:45:25.599 --> 00:45:29.400
<v Speaker 2>you represent any product whatsoever if you don't understand what

895
00:45:29.559 --> 00:45:33.079
<v Speaker 2>it costs. Then the question became how long will it

896
00:45:33.119 --> 00:45:35.599
<v Speaker 2>take to get here? You're talking about a style that's

897
00:45:35.639 --> 00:45:39.000
<v Speaker 2>starting to develop, now you're seeing it in the stores.

898
00:45:39.280 --> 00:45:41.000
<v Speaker 2>We're going to be at the tail end of it.

899
00:45:41.199 --> 00:45:44.239
<v Speaker 2>We're going to miss the initial rust thrust. We're going

900
00:45:44.280 --> 00:45:46.480
<v Speaker 2>to miss the initial thrust. How and when are you

901
00:45:46.559 --> 00:45:49.840
<v Speaker 2>going to get it here? And unfortunately, the same designers

902
00:45:49.880 --> 00:45:53.280
<v Speaker 2>sitting there, and he doesn't answer the question. He knows

903
00:45:53.400 --> 00:45:57.280
<v Speaker 2>that his designs are done, but he doesn't understand the cycle.

904
00:45:57.599 --> 00:45:59.760
<v Speaker 2>He doesn't understand, let alone the life cycle of the

905
00:45:59.800 --> 00:46:01.599
<v Speaker 2>p when do you gotta have it and when do

906
00:46:01.599 --> 00:46:03.360
<v Speaker 2>you have to be finished with it? But he didn't

907
00:46:03.400 --> 00:46:08.000
<v Speaker 2>understand from development to execution when it would be delivered.

908
00:46:08.320 --> 00:46:11.960
<v Speaker 2>The sales team were doing their own calculations about how

909
00:46:12.039 --> 00:46:14.920
<v Speaker 2>many should we buy and who will buy it, and

910
00:46:15.000 --> 00:46:16.920
<v Speaker 2>they started to talk about it, and you could see

911
00:46:17.000 --> 00:46:20.360
<v Speaker 2>on pretty much everyone else's face blank stares. Because only

912
00:46:20.480 --> 00:46:24.400
<v Speaker 2>the salespeople understood the potential and how to develop it.

913
00:46:24.800 --> 00:46:27.440
<v Speaker 2>The operation people in the warehouse had to make room

914
00:46:27.519 --> 00:46:29.639
<v Speaker 2>for it. They had to be ready if these things

915
00:46:29.719 --> 00:46:31.920
<v Speaker 2>came in late and they had to be delivered in October.

916
00:46:32.480 --> 00:46:34.000
<v Speaker 2>If they came in in October, how are they going

917
00:46:34.079 --> 00:46:35.679
<v Speaker 2>to turn it around and get it out in October?

918
00:46:36.400 --> 00:46:40.000
<v Speaker 2>And it was at that moment that I realized how

919
00:46:40.159 --> 00:46:44.800
<v Speaker 2>important it was to understand every aspect of the business.

920
00:46:45.239 --> 00:46:47.840
<v Speaker 2>I began in design. I was good at it. I

921
00:46:48.000 --> 00:46:52.519
<v Speaker 2>wasn't great. I was smart, but I wasn't great. I

922
00:46:52.639 --> 00:46:54.840
<v Speaker 2>wasn't a donna Karen. I wasn't a Calvin Klein. I

923
00:46:54.960 --> 00:46:58.880
<v Speaker 2>was more of an operational designer. I knew that from

924
00:46:58.920 --> 00:47:01.320
<v Speaker 2>a talent point of view, I didn't care about design

925
00:47:01.360 --> 00:47:04.519
<v Speaker 2>to the extent those other people would. So I had

926
00:47:04.559 --> 00:47:08.000
<v Speaker 2>to bring something different to the table. And it was

927
00:47:08.280 --> 00:47:12.840
<v Speaker 2>all those subjects that I knew nothing about for my

928
00:47:13.199 --> 00:47:15.960
<v Speaker 2>entire career. If you asked me to come speak at

929
00:47:16.000 --> 00:47:20.239
<v Speaker 2>your school, speak at your office, speak in your facilities,

930
00:47:20.559 --> 00:47:23.320
<v Speaker 2>if you're a congressman of senator, anybody asked to me

931
00:47:23.480 --> 00:47:27.239
<v Speaker 2>to come and speak, my speech will always be do

932
00:47:27.320 --> 00:47:30.679
<v Speaker 2>you want to be the puppet master or the puppet?

933
00:47:31.360 --> 00:47:34.639
<v Speaker 2>It comes from the visual of the movie The Godfather,

934
00:47:34.760 --> 00:47:37.360
<v Speaker 2>which to this day has stayed and lasted to test

935
00:47:37.440 --> 00:47:39.199
<v Speaker 2>the time. To me, I'm so into movies. It's still

936
00:47:39.199 --> 00:47:41.480
<v Speaker 2>my favorite movie of all time. And I remember in

937
00:47:41.519 --> 00:47:43.719
<v Speaker 2>the early days looking at the cover of that movie

938
00:47:44.079 --> 00:47:46.159
<v Speaker 2>on the book Mario Pusa, and I'm just trying to

939
00:47:46.239 --> 00:47:49.239
<v Speaker 2>understand what it meant. And I realized that the Godfather

940
00:47:49.440 --> 00:47:52.920
<v Speaker 2>was the puppet master. It's a marionette strings And I

941
00:47:53.039 --> 00:47:56.239
<v Speaker 2>asked myself right then and there, do I want to

942
00:47:56.280 --> 00:47:59.840
<v Speaker 2>be in control or being told what to do? My

943
00:48:00.079 --> 00:48:02.800
<v Speaker 2>whole life? The Godfather hadn't come out yet in later

944
00:48:03.000 --> 00:48:05.760
<v Speaker 2>years when I saw it, it became the theme for

945
00:48:05.880 --> 00:48:09.119
<v Speaker 2>my speaking engagements and the theme for lesson number one

946
00:48:09.159 --> 00:48:11.719
<v Speaker 2>of the forty three lessons that everyone should read if

947
00:48:11.719 --> 00:48:14.119
<v Speaker 2>they want a great career in the book. So what

948
00:48:14.239 --> 00:48:16.280
<v Speaker 2>I say to you tonight is I talk about this.

949
00:48:16.960 --> 00:48:19.360
<v Speaker 2>You want to be successful in your own business. You

950
00:48:19.400 --> 00:48:22.159
<v Speaker 2>want to be successful in a company. The more you know,

951
00:48:22.360 --> 00:48:26.400
<v Speaker 2>the better you'll be. If you understand all the components

952
00:48:26.599 --> 00:48:30.880
<v Speaker 2>that it takes to getting your product out there, from development,

953
00:48:31.079 --> 00:48:36.039
<v Speaker 2>inception to delivery, you will be in a position to

954
00:48:36.199 --> 00:48:40.440
<v Speaker 2>make decisions. You'll be holding the strings rather than dangling

955
00:48:40.960 --> 00:48:43.440
<v Speaker 2>at the bottom of them. And if there was ever

956
00:48:43.559 --> 00:48:47.320
<v Speaker 2>a lesson, there's a reason why. In my book, chapter

957
00:48:47.440 --> 00:48:51.039
<v Speaker 2>forty three, in case you forgot to pay attention, lesson

958
00:48:51.159 --> 00:48:53.440
<v Speaker 2>number one is do you want to be the puppet

959
00:48:53.519 --> 00:48:57.159
<v Speaker 2>master or the puppet? Having said this, I had fun

960
00:48:57.239 --> 00:49:00.679
<v Speaker 2>talking to you tonight. Happy Thanksgiving week. I hope you

961
00:49:00.800 --> 00:49:04.199
<v Speaker 2>all have sponderful times with your families and friends. As

962
00:49:04.239 --> 00:49:07.159
<v Speaker 2>far as we're concerned, we touched on Thanksgiving a little.

963
00:49:07.599 --> 00:49:10.679
<v Speaker 2>From my vantage point, I hope you got something from

964
00:49:10.760 --> 00:49:12.239
<v Speaker 2>to Night Show, Good Night
