Summary:

1. When we went to USPS there were five of us. I told my team to me do all the talking. But if I need some help, bring it because I didn't want confusion. I want to make sure this is done very professionally and very methodically. Communication is very important because they have to know what you're doing, what you can contribute how this can work out. (8:18)

2. We need to break this down for people watching this because it didn't happen in a day it happened over years of relationship building, right? always important. (27:57)

3. Anytime you get an opportunity and you feel like it is the right person, you should go and get the person on your side. And because of that our management team has been extremely stable. I mean, people left because they want to retire, not because they went work for somebody else. (37:42)
