1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,040
when i first got out of uni i had this boss and um he was uh an interesting character

2
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:14,000
let's put it that way he was um was a really weird situation it was my dad's business partner but he

3
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:19,920
was um he was the one that always worked 80 hours a week when you could do it in 40 but he also

4
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:24,240
brought in most of the revenue for the business because he was out selling all the time and he

5
00:00:24,240 --> 00:00:26,040
and he took me under his wing.

6
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,400
But everything had to be exactly his way.

7
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:31,760
And I'm not one to follow rules,

8
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:33,840
so we had a lot of clashes.

9
00:00:35,380 --> 00:00:37,760
But there was this road trip we went on

10
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:41,040
and his brother was the one that's out there

11
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,340
partying all night and then he meets the decision maker

12
00:00:44,340 --> 00:00:45,960
and they have this great time

13
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:47,920
and they become best friends and they give him the business

14
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:49,960
and this other brother's like, you know,

15
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,680
the one that will then be at the boardroom at 7 a.m.

16
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:54,920
knocking on the door with a 100 page proposal.

17
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,520
And so, you know, I was jumping between the two brothers

18
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,680
who technically had the same authority in the company.

19
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:03,400
But I'd go from one and he'd say,

20
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,020
all right, let's just go out for a nice lunch

21
00:01:05,020 --> 00:01:08,480
and we'll meet the customer and we'll get the business

22
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:09,600
because we're nice people.

23
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,120
And then I'd talk to the other brother like this

24
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:14,420
and he'd say, no, no, no, you can't do that.

25
00:01:14,420 --> 00:01:16,520
You need this 100 page form that needs to be signed

26
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,760
and dotted on 10 different pages.

27
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,840
And I'm not, this isn't coming out as well

28
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:23,520
because it happened in the time,

29
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,760
but it was quite funny how many misunderstandings

30
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,600
there were between going from two completely opposite

31
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:52,240
sets of expectations on a weekly basis.
