A CEO that plays pinball and Pacman with the people. Positive Talk Radio guest Richard Blank Costa Rica's Call Center

Well, I know you say of course, but that is a very enlightened viewpoint. There are a lot of companies that just don't operate that way. There are CEOs that cannot find their way to the employee lunchroom. I'm willing to bet that, you know, your way there, not only that I know everybody's name and besides that, I have a gamification culture here.

So I play pinball and Pacman with my people. have it the way that we were raised by our grandparents and parents. Is a certain way. And to me, I wish I could give you a financial tip or trick or a CEO cracked code, but I mentioned that one word it's empathy. And just by going old school with people and not being their best friend, but being someone they respect.

And I respect them. There's no reason why we can't have a wonderful working relationship together. And, and I will say this it's very important to know people's names and it's very important to onboard them. And if you do then besides just being a good leader, you're a mentor. You can also be a teacher.

And so these are the things, especially in this delicate age of when people are building their careers and their self-confidence that I take it very seriously. It's it's not just giving them a job, Kevin, this is a multi-generational society here. And so a lot of these young men and women could be supporting their families and buying medicine for people.

And so I really look at it as more as feeding families. Compared to how much money I'm making.
