What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Shtark Tank’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

I'll go back to being very pious in a minute. I've always been a sports fan. I have not yet been cured of that particular passion of mine. And in the football world, it became famous in the name of I think both Bill Bich. Do your job. You know, you know, if you should have been working and instead you are dabbing or learning or doing some other mitzvah, you're not getting like a pat on the back from a salant or revol. You're wrong. That's in a certain sense a mitzvah as he called it. Do your job. I was in my late 40s before I made this switch and I never had to learn let's switch and I never had to learn let's say take take one example right the skill of time management and I think all of us I'm certainly as guilty of this as anybody right we set our you know expectations often way lower we think we're capable of much less what we're really capable of and welcome to Stark Tank. Shark Tank is a podcast about the challenges and opportunities of being a mentor in the opportunities of being a mentor in the workforce. There's really one main book if you want to go to find Torah sources about being a mentor in the workforce and that is Arla Piansky's wonderful seafare a bentora for life which we've discussed in the podcast also with her piany and with others as well. But I recently came across a short little chapter which was full of tremendous gems directly related to this topic. It's part of the safer ali. I discovered it by listening to Asher by David Gauti based on this chapter and I am thrilled to be joined by Vali to discuss these ideas. So begott welcome to Shark Tank and thank you so much for joining us.
