I learned the Toyota production system about 25 years ago. I applied it to my business.

My business blew up. I wrote a book about it. So people started following my methodology

or my interpretation of lean production or the toy to production system and i call it two

second lean and that book is in 20 languages all over the world and there are thousands and thousands

of thousands of companies across the globe everywhere that are practicing it and that's basically

what i what i do so so take it back uh from the very beginning have you always been an entrepreneur

or a business owner or you you decided to start a company?

I was pulling weeds and cutting grass. That was my first job when I was probably like 10, 11 years old. I was working for a couple neighbors. And so, yeah, it always was in my spirit to be a business person. You know why? Because I love pleasing people. I love the smile on people's face. man, you did a great job on my line.

Yeah.

It really turns me on,
