Yeah, I say early mistakes that I learned was sometimes I knew that I didn't have the right person, but I kept just hoping it would work out, making that hard decision to sell somebody, you knew a different career.

So I would say early on I did not let people go as early as I should have, even though I knew I'd hired wrong because I was learning how to hire.

So obviously, my skills weren't too good at doing that in the beginning.

I learned through the process that actually it's a double negative. One, I'm hiring somebody that I

don't need, is not able to do the job. And two, they don't, they're not getting ready to go

to their next opportunity.

Hey, it's great to have you back for another episode of the Leadership Podcast. And today, I have a guest that is going to

encourage you, equip you, and inspire you in a massive way. I want to tell you about my very good

friend, Mark Green, who is the founder of Bardell Christian in Education Supply with over 40 locations

and over 800 employees.

Mart is the Ministry Investment Officer of Hobby Lobby,

a business started by his family with over 1,000 stores across the United States.

He is one of the most successful business leaders, truly, that I know, anywhere in the world and one of the biggest forces for good making a difference in the world.

Mart has a new book out called Learning to Be Loved.

I'll show you the book if you're watching.

It's a great book, The Everyday Believers Guide to a Rich Relationship with God.

Outside of all these business and ministry accomplishments, this is one

the most humble men that I know, one of the most generous men alive today and full of

integrity. It's an honor to have you on. Mart, on one hand, I've got five trusted voices that I call when I need good advice, and you

are on that hand is one of the five top most trusted voices.

And so I'm really excited to introduce you to our leadership community.

Welcome aboard.
