again you want to keep some of the stuff hot shots you keep some of the stuff on shush right i think every event organizer has the right to do that but how big of a lift of it is it for you and whatever team you have to find enough people to help out like is because i know that When we've run comps in the past, we've never really had an issue with it, but it was always a fear.
I'm like, well, what if people aren't available? What if people can't do the whole day? What if we don't have people that can really judge? That's a really big lift for you.
How do you go about finding those right people? A, quantity, but also quality.
I want to start with saying this is not like tooting my own horn or anything like that, but I think I'm a pretty genuine person.
I treat the janitor the same as well as I treat the multi-billionaire the same.
It's like the only difference is that they have more zeros behind their name, but they're still human.
So yeah, I think me always saying hi and thank you to the judges, always respecting them.

Um, and that's not the main drive as to why I'm like that is that's the way I was raised.
