@stepville Met on a Friday, proposed on Sunday, married within three months, just celebrated our 28th anniversary.

She's the nicest person I had ever met... still is.

@sportscar365 @PorscheRaces I was going to buy one until I realized drive-thrus were going to be such a PITA.

The Canadians, many of them volunteers, pushed furthest inland today. Allies matter. You don't win wars without friends.

@JeffYoungerShow had the cases decided before they landed.
2. Had dinner with a SCC Justice just prior to their appointment. Never knew them beforehand, just net them in a hotel lobby bar. When they "resigned" a number of years later, it was not a surprise.

@JeffYoungerShow 2 eye-opening encounters.
1. Had a business in Canada's arctic region and a client was a lawyer. They said the judge, prosecution and themselves traveled together to remote communities for court days (understandable given the regional issues). They also said they frequently...

@TheBishF1 @Motor_Sport Looking forward to reading it. Although I was a huge Gilles fan, I really like Jody too. After all, he was the next best thing to an actual Canadian, having driven for Wolf. And the measure of a great man having stayed close to the Villeneuves after Gilles' death and helping...

@Camp4 Excellent! Glad it worked out for both of you.

That's the way. Vet well. Pay them what they're worth, not just what you can get away with. Don't treat people like a no-name commodity.

The most fun I ever had negotiating a salary:

Years ago I hired a guy (I’ll call him John) into a junior marketing role. John was a bike mechanic with zero relevant experience—but he had an engineer’s mind and was funny as heck.

I liked him and wanted to give him a shot, so I asked John to call me to discuss compensation…

When he called I could tell he was nervous. This was a big deal—his wife had just given birth to their first child and he saw it as an opportunity to pivot to a better career.

I asked John what salary he thought was fair. He had prepared for this question:

“Well, to leave my current job and support my family I’d need to make… $50,000.”

I could tell John knew that number was a stretch for someone with no experience and for an entry level position (this was 15 years ago).

I paused for a few seconds before responding. Then I said…

“John, I don’t think I can pay $50,000 for this role. I’m betting on you and we’re going to have to train you. Can I make a counter offer?”

John responded eagerly, “I completely understand. I really want this job so I’ll take whatever you can offer.”

Then I said, “How about $60,000?”

Confused silence.

After a few seconds John spoke, voice cracking...

“You have no idea how much this means to me.”

My bet paid off—within a few years John was running digital marketing and making six figures. I’m pretty sure he would have taken a bullet for me.

Here’s my point:

When it comes to people—especially those with high potential—don’t bargain shop.

It’s not just about being generous, it’s good business.
