Okay, we're in the mix.

Right?

We're recording?

Yeah, we're on.

Don't pull a mic on me.

You're recording.

Sorry for, you might hear some, you know, you might hear a little bit of background.

A little background.

This is the first scene with them.

You heard I got an F last week is because we didn't set up video like we should have. So this week we came back strong. We have audio. We have video. And we're right now on Facebook Live. What? Yeah, DC's got the whole phone rigged up just in case you can't get enough. All right. So I got a bunch of notes. This one, there's one question that we've gotten from listeners more than any other question, and they want to know. Do you have any guesses? Absolutely. As you'll note, now that you can see off on video and Facebook Live, Dave has a laptop full of questions, and my desk is empty. There's nothing here. Good. That's what the

people come for. They don't want to see you prepared. All right. That's not the point.

The number one question that people ask is to like I think the most popular topics are when we

talk about work and how we do things at drifts, right, just tactically. The number one question that

we get is how do we handle internal communication? Really? Yeah. Wow, I would have never guessed. At least five people have written in to specifically ask about that. Let's talk about that. All right. So I have a whole outline of things I want to go through. We'll talk about how we do it here. But I want to ask you this question. Why do you think so many people ask that? Like, does that say something about internal communication that so many people want to hear that topic? I don't know. When you said that, I was thinking, is it because I'm always railing against process and consensus? Maybe. That might be it. Yeah. You're like, no meetings, no dates, no roadmaps. How the hell do they get anything done? They're just like, how the hell is this work? What is this guy talking about? I don't know.

I just feel like it's because so many people have they, you know, we do, we talk about this in the interview process too. It's like, you know, I said to somebody recently, I was like, all the questions they were pushing back on us during the interview process. I said, somebody has obviously scarred you before. before.

You know, it's all just like, how do you manage this?

And it's all internal politics type stuff.

Yeah. said somebody has obviously scarred you before you know it's all just like how do you manage this

and it's all internal politics type stuff yeah don't have that um that's how all right so let's do

let's do this like uh if somebody were to ask you so before we go on the tactics if somebody asked

you how do we handle internal communication at drift like what would you what would you talk about

our guardrails are kind of like what's our process or what's the process you want us to have as a company sure so i'd say the the guardrails are push as much communication to be one-on-one as possible so ideally face-to-face if you can right that's the best. You can't always do that. And so, you know,
