you know when you think about blitz scaling to we have 210 employees you know over 2020 we hired another 40 employees you know and so we’re dealing with a lack of infrastructure uh that you know really a decaying infrastructure the fact that there is only i don’t know one or two buildings left in our community you know within a half a mile radius that actually could hold our growth and we did the boot plant we invested in that coronavirus hit we had invested another facility for nutrition oh yeah i forgot to mention about the equipment we want a building yeah so we’re just getting crazy we’re getting crazy and we’re we’re self well when i say self funding i mean you know we’re we’re working with banks working the banks to make all this [ __ ] happen because we can see it now i’m not sure if that’s being naive as a superpower or just being naive but i i believe in our vision you believe in our vision and we know we’ve got something special you know you know how i know that because we have people moving from all over america to work for us i’m talking colorado arizona nevada utah georgia there was i said arizona yeah massachusetts connecticut i’m everywhere and when when everyone’s saying the same thing like i want to be part of this i can see what you guys are doing it’s special i get it like and it’s resonating with them we just got to tell more people so we invest in in that’s part of business i mean it’s the i learned a lot about organizational structure and you know i’ve learned way more than i ever thought i would know about running a a business of this size this magnitude five facilities 210 employees i mean it’s it’s a lot and i never like believed in titles like everybody just do what needs to be done like literally we got done eating steaks last night and i was in the kitchen with the deck we were washing the dick we washed all the dishes all the forks like just do it do it needs to be done like get [ __ ] done but i do understand now because of the situation how you have to really detach to look at to look at i i don’t i hate to use the word battlefield because it’s not a battlefield but to look at the organization and do you have the right players in the right positions are you missing people and sometimes just letting the fire burn and what i mean by that hess malm actually was saying this to me pete you got to just let the fire burn for some of these things you can’t solve all the problems all the time now you don’t want to get it out of control you don’t want to become a blaze i said but if you can’t solve this part of your company like the issues we’re dealing with let’s say in finance we had a cfo but we really need four people in that department because dawn’s working you know 100 hours a week he’s like just you got to let the fire burn and if it’s not done perfectly and if it’s not closed the cordless aren’t closed on time that’s okay let the fire burn media same thing and focus on the on the things that really have a massive impact and then get the people to solve the problems i really really learned that lesson this year yeah um prioritize and execute yep and that’s a huge one and then decentralized command and what decentralized command ultimately the power that it gives you in you when you’re in a leadership position is you have the ability to look up and out instead of down and in so instead of looking down and in at your team instead of looking down and in and what the schedule is for today and who’s on the line and who’s not and who’s sick and who’s not is it looking down at in at that which which takes away your your overall vision of what’s happening on the battlefield you have to be looking up and out and so yeah you you definitely got that um and and look you’re not gonna solve every problem and sometimes you gotta be like oh yeah yeah that’s gonna suck um okay got it we accept that suck fat factor on that thing because we can now focus on our efforts on something that’s gonna that would suck way worse and be much worse for everything that’s going on here
