### Segment 1 (00:00 - 02:00) []

Christopher asks what are your thoughts on employing Friends Christopher this is a great question uh for a lot of people who watch my stuff they make that connection on the family business thing I get enormous amounts of excuse me email from people that are the sons and daughters of business owners because they knew my narrative now that I'm running Vayner with AJ I'm getting some more brother and sister stuff and I'm getting a little older I'm even getting some of the perspective from the dads and the moms uh I have employed friends at both Wine Library and uh Vayner media was started with five of AJ's uh dear friends and I think the number one advice I'd say is you should absolutely I'm emphatic about this and you as you guys know I'm big on you know do what works for you but I'm a huge fan of hiring friends especially early on to establish culture to have those teammates in the trenches um especially if you're willing to practice Merit y right so the key to friends is that here we are 5 years later and AJ's five to six high school and college friends that started the company with us are in different places within the organization and not really treated any differently at the highest levels uh than anybody else and and very honestly I hope they're not listening or watching the show they may even be treated slightly harder and worse than everybody else because I'm so sensitive to it in the other direction I expect the six of you not to hit me up for a race um and so I think that I'm a big fan of it I recommend it uh it is risky you uh I have fired my friends in the past Brandon was my best friend growing up he runs Wine Library risky um it you know it really comes down to here's my belief is very simple if you lose a friendship from somebody working for you and not working out and you having to fire them or leaving then your friendship wasn't as strong as you thought uh and that the bottom line cuz just kid I didn't do it oh crap wait subscribe I need subscriptions because I can't push this many right hooks in Social so subscribe
