Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Bryant Minute with John Hope Bryant of Building the
Good Life podcast sponsored by Predential, featuring Kelly Coffee. We
don't use that word but but but and when you're
a person of color or a woman, you really can't
afford in your formative years to have somebody to say
when you're out of the room. But so, I never
want somebody to say, oh, you know, I respect John Bryan,

(00:20):
but you know you know I want that. You never
want that. But when you need to know, if people
are saying this, you can fix it. Like I've had
people who've worked for me before and I've said, look,
I would love to give you this job, but you're
too emotional. And when you're a leader, you got to
bring the drama down. You don't have to bring the
drama up. Bringing the drama down, no drama. And so,

(00:42):
but that that gives people something to work on, right
then they say, okay, you know, so when you're in
that situation, take a deep breath and think about it.
