Um, the first one is the foxhole test, the old Don Meyer foxhole test, okay? So, uh, imagine you're in a foxhole.
Marty PlumHOST
It's, it's World War I or World War II, and you're at the front of the foxhole, okay? Who do you want to the right of you on your team? Who do you want on the left of you? And who do you want behind you? Uh, the most important part is the one behind you, the person that you trust with your back, because obviously you can't see what's going on behind your back.
Marty PlumHOST
