| 0:00.0 | I try to be a very empathetic leader, even as a lawyer. I try to be an empathetic lawyer, |
| 0:11.0 | and I know that seems like doesn't match up, but people sometimes will ask, like, when someone's |
| 0:16.1 | leaving and someone's quitting, why can't they say goodbye? Why can't you just let someone have all their |
| 0:21.1 | goodbyes and all those things? And sometimes I have to respond, I quit this bitch. |
| 0:28.9 | Yes. And what I mean by that is there was a radio DJ. This was like, oh gosh, 20 years ago maybe, |
| 0:39.2 | named Arnetta. And you can look it up on YouTube. Wait, I think I remember this. Arnetta, the Mood Setta, I think. Oh, that's clever. |
| 0:47.1 | She was on air and she was talking and she's talking. And it's very funny. I would give it a language |
| 0:53.2 | warning, but you're already listed in this podcast, but so I'll say it, language warning. And again, we have our blanket language warning here. But she's talking.

| 1:37.1 | I was in the industry. |
| 1:38.3 | And so I know you have to consider all angles. |
| 1:42.0 | And of course, like the human being in me finds these things fascinating |
| 1:46.2 | and like very interesting to listen to. I also know sometimes, again, if you have someone |
| 1:51.4 | that's leaving that's like going to a competitor, people take files. It is amazing. Generally, |
| 1:55.8 | people have taken all the files before they quit. That's when it tends to happen. But |
| 2:00.1 | anyway, sometimes when people |
