chuckle I got a question regarding the quote if there is a doubt there’s no doubt alright remember that yeah the last time okay this would seem to indicate avoiding taking risks many many businesses or many business decisions involve risk often there can be a doubt about either of two options doubt that you should maintain the status quo and doubt about pursuing a new opportunity to frequent or you frequently talk about dichotomies would you mind sharing your thoughts on this principle yeah this is this is a classic thing and and it’s a great point and that’s why these little sound bites can be a little bit dangerous sometimes a little power sound bites because they are that simple and of course I love I like things to be simple right that’s the number two law of combat is to keep things simple but sometimes things like this need a little bit of amplifying information and yes this could be construed as being extremely risk-averse and like hey if I have any doubt about the safety of success of this mission that we’re not gonna do it which if that was the case then I would have done a zero missions during my deployments to Iraq same with business never would have started victory MMA never would have started echelon front because there was risk involved in starting those things never would have done anything really because there’s always gonna be done so this is a accurate statement and of course every business has risk and so so I guess that idea that if there is a doubt there is no doubt it’s not to be taken literally when it comes to risk when it comes to risk don’t take it literally but what it should be I think is like a a warning right like a little warning that’s in your head if there’s a doubt like okay we need to think about what’s going on here we need to understand what what is at risk here because and I just had this conversation with the CEO of a company as a matter of fact let’s talk about that I caught me of leadership I was talking about how you know giving him examples like for instance in and he was in a technology company and I said you know if you didn’t take risk you wouldn’t you wouldn’t make any progress but if you took too much risk you wouldn’t be where you are right now because they’re dominating so it’s like oh you’re you’re balancing that dichotomy all the time so if you would have said hey if there was a doubt there is no doubt you never would have gotten off the ground now where I think it becomes a more solid statement is from like a moral or an ethical standpoint and that is if you think that something is wrong all that it probably is think you’re doing something that you probably shouldn’t be doing then there’s doubt and you probably shouldn’t be doing it I think an easy way to keep yourself in check and these days it’s a very real possibility is just if you think that you’re being recorded at all times like if you just think oh I’m being recorded which probably somebody is recording you yeah like if you decide you think you can get away with something you’re probably not gonna get away with it look at all the just go watch YouTube you’re the caught in the act or whatever people need call all the time so whatever you’re doing think that there could be somebody there with a phone recording you and I think that’s keeps you a morally and ethically in check you know I used to tell my guys that you could be getting watched by CNN or Al Jazeera or some reporter you know whoever you you know you could be getting watched and if you’re doing something that you shouldn’t be doing you’re you’re gonna get caught so don’t do it not to mention these days we got the aircraft overhead they can see everything so do with the right thing mmm that’s what you do you do the right thing yeah if you have any doubt that what you’re doing is the right thing then you should probably shouldn’t do it a lot of those a lot of the horrible police actions yeah are you know recorded by some random person with the phone now of course I always need to point out that there’s all these good actions that take place every single day millions and millions of police do the right thing yeah no one publishes those no one uploads those onto YouTube or Facebook but the bad acts that are caught they’re caught because someone has a camera yeah and so like that’s great advice for a cop hey act like you’re being recorded all the time yeah yeah it’s yeah that’s interesting well it makes me very well might be yeah yeah so do the right thing next question thank God I didn’t have cameras when I was a kid for all the dumb stuff I did yeah yeah oh I always want to make sure that I’m not sitting here saying like I everyone out there should do the right thing like me yeah yeah I’m not saying that if you thought I was saying that I’m not saying that I apologize for even sounding them like I was as dumb and stupid as the next person and still do dumb stuff try not to even man you don’t do dumb stuff right no it was bad when when when we had Charlie plum and Jim Conklin yeah and I’m like thinking they’re like you know hey this is the way to act right I’m like don’t put me with you guys you guys are awesome heroes and I’m just over here yeah yeah don’t say that about me you guys can say like a talk about character you have character I’m just over here yeah
