1
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: What's up, everybody? This is the people Shark. Here Damon

2
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:09,039
Speaker 1: John with another motivation moment for you. Courtesy of that

3
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: Moment with Damon John, a production of the Black Effect

4
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 1: podcast Network and Fiveheart Radio. Now Here is a great fact.

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: According to the Ben and Jerry website, Ben Cohen of

6
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 1: Ben and Jerry is the real reason that ice cream

7
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 1: flavors have such big chunks in them. He has no

8
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: sense of smell and very little sense of taste, and

9
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: when he and Jerry were developing their flavors, he loved

10
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: the texture of the big chunks. Now you may be saying, well,

11
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: how is the scenario gonna motivate me? Well, think about it.

12
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 1: It's a perfect example of the value of teamwork and

13
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: collaboration with people who don't just think the same exact

14
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: way as you do, and they have different opinions. You see,

15
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: Jerry could have been right in thinking that the smaller

16
00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: chunce in their ice cream would give enough and just

17
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: smooth it out all over the ice cream. But if

18
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: Ben had struggled with getting the full taste and the

19
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: ice cream would have never developed its signature big chunks.

20
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,759
Speaker 1: And we're all better off for it. Now, this applies

21
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 1: to business. You may think one thing, but you have

22
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: a whole team around you who may object because they

23
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 1: think of something else, and that's called innovation. You have

24
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: your unique perspective, and bringing an extra point of view

25
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: can both verify that your idea is a strong one

26
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: and take it even further and enhance that idea. That's

27
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: why I always say that in my company, I am

28
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: Batman and everybody else's robbing. But most of the time

29
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: I'm robbin and I let everybody else be Batman because

30
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: I work with people that are hopefully smarter than me.

31
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: And that's why I hire them or I partner with them,

32
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: because I respect their point of view. And so make

33
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: sure when you want to collaborate or have innovation in

34
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: your company, in your personal life, or in your new startup,

35
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 1: you respect other people's opinions to try to meet in

36
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: the middle, and I promise you you'll be better off

37
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,400
