Learning/reminder of the week

Fire Fast

Once upon a time, I was terrible at firing.

I would drag it out with the hope that the team member would improve, or maybe even quit before it came to a firing decision.

This was a massive waste of time and money.

Now, I fire as fast as I can.

Twice this year, we've fired individuals that were on our team for only 2 months.

They're not bad individuals. They're just not top talent.

This is why I'm trying to fire faster than ever before:

👉 Underperforming team members are a virus. They cost time, money, create more stress, and impact the culture of the business.

👉 The longer you have an underperforming team member, the longer you're holding your team back from having a high performing team member.

👉 Great employees hire more great employees. Mediocre employees hire more mediocre employees.

👉 We don't want good companies in our portfolio. We want f*cking great companies. Great team members build f*cking great companies.

Have someone on your team that is underperforming? You know what I would do.

Interesting find/tool of the week

So, HubSpot just dropped this slick new tool called Remix, and it's a game-changer for content marketers and creators. Imagine taking one piece of content, like a blog post, and BAM! Remix transforms it into multiple formats – social media posts, emails, videos, you name it.

Here’s the kicker: it's super intuitive. Remix uses AI to analyze your content and automatically repurpose it into formats that are optimized for different platforms. It's like having a whole marketing team in your back pocket without the payroll. This means less time grinding out new content and more time watching the leads roll in.

It's mountain bike season! Big Sunday rides followed by some truck bed beers. If you have the beer within 30 minutes of the workout the calories are free!

See you all next week!
