And he's also the co-host of the podcast and that's the most podcasts that you have to check out super great information. And I think just like two friends, talking at a coffee shop, which I always love.

But one of the things that really stuck with me that Scott said, or I read that he said he said that organizational culture is a values ideas, attitudes and goals that characterize an organization, which in effect affects all aspects of business and a dedicated team with a great work ethic and high professional standards creates a culture where they can see what they do makes an impact.

Scott, excited to have you on the show. You're ready to speak to the I AM CEO community.

Thank you very much. Yeah, absolutely. And when you hear your bio like that, it's a little humbling and almost embarrassing because in Australia, we don't want to shout from the rooftops about what we've done. So I guess it really sinks in that, geez, mate, you've done a lot lately. So there you go.
