| 0:06.0 | business partners. But within the projects of our business, we call it the 51-49. There is always somebody |
| 0:12.5 | who has 51% ownership of that project. And he or she is the person who gets the final say if you |
| 0:19.5 | are at odds. It has saved as time and money |
| 0:23.1 | and therapy. It makes no sense to get into an argument when you know whose lane that is. So, |
