when i first got out of uni i had this boss and um he was uh an interesting character
let's put it that way he was um was a really weird situation it was my dad's business partner but he
was um he was the one that always worked 80 hours a week when you could do it in 40 but he also
brought in most of the revenue for the business because he was out selling all the time and he
and he took me under his wing.
But everything had to be exactly his way.
And I'm not one to follow rules,
so we had a lot of clashes.
But there was this road trip we went on
and his brother was the one that's out there
partying all night and then he meets the decision maker
and they have this great time
and they become best friends and they give him the business
and this other brother's like, you know,
the one that will then be at the boardroom at 7 a.m.
knocking on the door with a 100 page proposal.
And so, you know, I was jumping between the two brothers
who technically had the same authority in the company.
But I'd go from one and he'd say,
all right, let's just go out for a nice lunch
and we'll meet the customer and we'll get the business
because we're nice people.
And then I'd talk to the other brother like this
and he'd say, no, no, no, you can't do that.
You need this 100 page form that needs to be signed
and dotted on 10 different pages.
And I'm not, this isn't coming out as well
because it happened in the time,
but it was quite funny how many misunderstandings
there were between going from two completely opposite
sets of expectations on a weekly basis.
