trying to hire an executive assistant about two years ago. And I was really excited because this executive assistant had a lot of experience with some very interesting people. And I was like, if they can put up with them, we will be a cake walk. My team was very excited about this candidate. They're like, oh, you're going to be so excited to meet her. She's fantastic. Like great, can't wait. So she comes in and I just asked her. I said, can you give me a brief overview of what your previous experience was with these three employers. And she spent the next 15 minutes sharing the most personal details, the most personal, like dirty laundry details of her three previous employers, which if I said the names of them to you guys in this room, every one of you would know them. They're like mega mega stars. It's like, do you think that she's going to do this to me when I'm out of the room? Of course she is. Huge rent flag, any sort of negativity. If somebody can't figure out how to be professional in this context, then you know that that is what they are going to do when you are out of the room inside your business. So just don't even hire them.
