Hour 16: Todays Podcast was Vroom Vroom Veer with Jeff Smith – interviewing Dave Sanderson who was the last person off the plane that crashed into the Hudson River January 15 2009.
His tip – no matter who you are…when the shit hits the fan you need to leave your EGO at the door.
When the plane went down, it didn’t matter if you were black, white, straight or gay, etc etc…ego’s and biases were not going to serve you.
He also told a great story about Bill Marriott. One of his first jobs was in restaurant management and on one Christmas Eve he was working at a Marriott hotel and in walked Bill Marriott (yes the owner of the Marriott chain), and ask Dave if he needed any help, as he noticed he was busy and understaffed.
Dave said he, I need someone to make the fries, so Bill put on an apron and got to work. He also told his entourage who were standing around to go and wait tables and help out.
He went on to tell Dave that no matter who you are or how big you become, not job is too small or meaningless.
ALL WORK IS GOOD WORK

p.s. One warning with this particular podcast episode - the opening two or three minutes is self serving, irrelevant, nonsense and dribble. I haven't listened to other episodes yet to work out if this the norm, or a one off, but it almost made me turn it off and change to another podcast. So fast forward the beginning and go straight to the interview.
