| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the win make give podcast season two. It's all about winning. And I'm joined today |
| 0:13.4 | with Chad Himes and Bob Stewart say hi boys. Yeah, we got the band back together. Yeah, |
| 0:18.9 | Bob's back in town. They're those going to start singing boys are back in town. Actually, |
| 0:25.0 | I just think we can do to avoid that. I'm going to hold back. Hey, let me ask you guys |
| 0:29.7 | a question. Have you ever been in a meeting? Yes, I've been in a meeting. Oh, there was more to |
| 0:36.9 | that question. I hate these guys like these guys are like the vein of my existence. Bob Stewart, |
| 0:42.2 | have you ever been in a meeting? And you felt like it was a complete waste of time. Everybody spoke |
| 0:47.4 | over each other. Nobody actually got anything done at the end of the day. Like you walk out, |

| 1:41.7 | And this book was called The Six Thinking Hats. Yep. You read it in 2012. I think I probably |
| 1:51.4 | read it before that. It was long. You brought it to the rest of us in 2000. Yeah, it's a long, |
| 1:55.8 | long old book in my world. Well, The Six Thinking Hats walks through how many hats, Chad? Six. |
| 2:02.9 | Six. Believe it or not, ladies and gentlemen, six different hats. And the idea is that while you're |
| 2:08.5 | in some form of a discussion or a meeting, that it's appropriate that everybody wears the same hat |
| 2:18.9 | at the same time. What happens when we don't follow a process like this? One person says, |
