Speaker 2 (00:03):
Barrett Kennett. You know how we always say that you
can't trust anyone with two first names. What can you
trust anyone with two surnames? Barrett Kennett? Barrett Kennett Kennett, Yeah,
what a beauty. So he now runs his own sales

being a male stripper to an MMA champion whip and

(00:25):
now he runs his own sales and marketing Why not?
He's very successful. There's a bit of David Brent to
Barrett as well when he talks about the lunch break.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
You're actually not allowed to call it lunch in f
COM in my business, right, because when I envisioned lunch,
When you think of lunch, I think of some trady
peeling back the wrapper of an old four and twenty
meat pie, drinking out of a thermos, talking about his
weekend and what was happening on mass the night before.
People don't have performance based jobs. Normal people don't have

(00:56):
results based jobs. We do. So for us, this is
like a footy game. This is like a basketball game.
We don't have lunch, we have halftime. That's a system
We call it halftime because what happens at halftime you're
talking strategy. You're not unplugging from the day. You're planning
on how to attack for the rest of the day.

your one, it's the it's the time to recharge, and
it's your twenty minute nap power nap for the day.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
You have to not think about work for a certain
amount of time and recharge the batteries before you go
back in.

Speaker 4 (01:36):
The majority of people in a nine to five use
their hour, their one hour, if that's what it is
at lunch time, to tick off everything else they have
to get done in the day. Like you're running around
like a headless chuck trying to get it done.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
It's not halftime of an aft mate, Mate, guys, I'm
just gonna have a quick eye bar. Can I get
a message over here? And you need to take my ankles?
