Didn't that say to take time off,
enjoy the holidays with family and friends.
So it's Christmas week.
You know, there's really only a few weeks in a year
that everyone agrees we're going to take time off.
And so actually, we're doing pretty well.
I think we made it to about Wednesday of Christmas week,
and I was a bit surprised I had not heard from Matt or Hervé.
Emails were really late and we were all doing pretty well.
And then I got a call from Matt
a couple of months ago, winter Christmas holiday,
and it would be the time between Christmas and New Year's.
And I was still working, still doing stuff and I like checking emails
and we were in the middle of a capital raise
because of the capital raise going up into Christmas.
My brain was still in work mode, right?
I hadn't allowed myself to cool my jets yet.
Soon as I pick up the phone, he starts talking work and I'm like Hallmark,
and they can wait.
Going to be call me with Merry Christmas Eve, at least on.
My God.
Kind of. Hold on here.
Why are we digging in work here?
This is vacation. We're all on vacation right now.
So, Matt, where are you at This?
I mean, all my kids. Where are you?
Is it go?
I'm at beach, and we were down at the Jersey Shore
trying to relax, but I'm still in work mode.
And then an email comes in
and it roughly the wrong way and it gets gets my brain going. So.
CALLER psychology
does.
So you think is cool, man.
He and I kind of get each other all riled up,
and so I'm riled up already and like, let me go roll up.
So I call him and he doesn't answer, Who are you thinking is calling
in the middle of the day right here at Christmas
trying to help me pick up the phone?
I'm not even thinking up Nobody little nap come up,
do it.
I don't even know why we have a discussion
about calling over the Christmas holiday.
It's the Christmas holiday.
I'm not picking up the phone for some nap bear claw.
I'm not picking up the phone from anybody.
It's the holiday weekend, please.
So, okay, I'll call Justin and Justin's my more peace of mind guy
that is willing to hear me out and he answers when we talk
and he hears me out for a little bit and he's like, What are you doing?
But why are you working over this time?
We just had a conversation.
Matt This is something that we need to address
and something we have to talk about,
but let's figure out when when's the right time to talk about it.
These few days between Christmas and New Year's are pretty much in America,
the only universally accepted days that everyone agrees
we're not going to honor each other.
Yeah, we can get fired up about an email and go back and respond.
But guess what?
Even in the best case scenario, we craft the best response and we send it back.
It's going to sit in their inbox until after New Year's.
Anyway, that's call now.
And it's not just because
I was with my kids and I didn't want to address that email
right there,
but that it's so important for us to actually take the time and disconnect.
You did this, give you the truth?
And then I really appreciate it.
And Cornell, thank him.
And I was able to put the phone down in that moment,
not think about work for like the next four or five days,
really just able to be present and enjoy my time with family.
Spending time with your family.
You're on the beach, for crying out loud.
This problem is still going to be there next Monday.
Let's set some time will happen.
We'll address it then. But you have to meet with politicians.
You have to tell them where their blind spots are.
And in this instance, Matt had a blind spot.
He wanted to hop right in.
But I encourage him, take a few days. And you know what?
We can talk for the rest of the week.
And he came back and I think it worked out.
Sometimes you just have to hear it.
You have to hear your partner say, Hey, it's okay.
Take the time for your family.
It's time
to recharge that we can all get back and be stronger together and get back.
What I got out of that out of that experience is that it's
take the time off between Christmas and New Year's
because not many people are working during that time.
When the whole world is closed for a bit,
you should close down too, because nobody's really waiting here for.
The second thing that I got is
it is phenomenal to have partners that are willing to call you out.
I'm not sure where it was that day,
but I'm sure he would have called me out as well.
But it was great to have Justin there to give me real honest feedback on things.
You guys have partner ers that you work with that are just
being nice to you all the time and just giving you what you want to hear.
That's from all the partners.
Their partners are really there to call you out.
Maybe that's what a jerk to you, but to give it to you straight
and your partners regularity and strength.
Then you got our friends, not.
Hey, guys,
that was a quick lesson about just what you want to expect out of your partners.
I hope you guys liked it.
