You know, how do we take these words of values or things that we do value or that we think should be in the culture and start to shape it, start to infuse it as to something that our people, our team feels every day?

Ben HockemaGUEST
So it starts with writing down what those core values are, right? [chuckles] Right? You have to, you have to identify what it is and then lean into it.

Ben HockemaGUEST
We had what I thought were good core values to begin with the first ti- first iteration, and then we didn't do much.

Ben HockemaGUEST
It wasn't something that really flowed through, and mostly because it was too high level, it wasn't actionable, and it was just words that weren't wrong.
