Transcript

Chick-fil-A is closed on Sundays. Now I want you to think about all the times to ownership and said, "What if we on Sundays? Just listen. If we just open on Sundays, we can unlock billions overnight, a 99% of companies will never make as Chick-fil-A will make just by opening on Sundays. Why not do that? We're a freaking business, aren't we? We can reinvest that back into marketing, then do this. Why don't we do it? for Yes, it. They open. It's one Jesus. Nope. It's one thing. Sure, it's because of Jesus, but why? It's principle. They have principles. Chick-fil-A is willing to stand by a principle that they show you the sacrifice they're making by saying, the you see it in the public eye, you see how money we're losing by staying to this principle. What do you think they do behind the scenes? They live, die by principles. What motivates that? Religion, whatever. I don't care. It's a freaking good by principles as leadership, as a team. We don't let dictate what we do.
