Key points covered in this episode: 

[00:01:19] Three-hour morning routines don’t start overnight. John’s morning routine lasted a mere 15 minutes when it began, but has since grown to three hours over the course of six years.

[00:06:07] It's not a blanket, X, Y, or Z. It's a sit down, individual, what would make this the best job for you? People should not only have a chance to voice what’s important to them, but they should be heard on an individual level since they are the only one capable of doing exactly what they do.

[00:08:29]  Empowering your team. “If we can satisfy people’s growth, their contribution needs, and they feel like there's some significance there - then you're helping to fill up that cup and grow as a human. It's going to make them less likely to leave.”

[00:09:31] Discussing the current mass resignation issue. People are resigning for two reasons. They hated their job to begin with, and the pandemic has made people think about what is most important to them.

[00:13:49] Staying social despite working remotely.
