Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of result.
We're going to re-enter this world where we have to learn how to work with it, rather than it has to learn how to work with us. And that's just a reality we're in and so what I've heard a lot of was well, we're either going to do this or we're going to do that.
We're either going to you know, do we make a choice between our health and our profit our business and livelihood or our principles, right? And what I'm suggesting to all of us today is that we can't live in an either-or world, that day is over, that day is long gone. We will not enter the either or world, right? Either you're going to work with me or I'm gonna have to decide how to do this without you. Nope. Nope. We will work together. That's the way it's going to go.
