Стажёр: Новый директор

No, no, I can set it up. She's just in a meeting.

Hi. Something I can help you with?

Yes, Jules spilled soy sauce on her Saint Laurent jacket. Can you take it to the photo studio? There's lots of cleaners and stuff in there.

Sure. Where is it?

She's wearing it.

They would like us to consider the possibility...

Okay.

ˌoʊˈkeɪ.

...of meeting with some potential CEOs.

Wow. I did not see that coming. Why? What? Am I too inexperienced at running a business? I didn't go to Harvard?

My methods aren't by the book? I mean, isn't that how we got here? Really? I need adult supervision? Could we be

maɪ ˈmɛθədz ˈɑrənt baɪ ðə bʊk? aɪ min, ˈɪzənt ðət haʊ wi gɑt hir? ˈrɪli? aɪ nid ˈædəlt ˌsupərˈvɪʒən? kʊd wi bi

doing better? We hit our five-year goal in nine months.

Exactly. Jules, we can't keep up with our own success. You know that. You're an hour late to every meeting. We have a name for it: Jules standard time.

And look, I get it. There's only so many hours in the day. We're all playing catch-up. Our tech guys work until 2:00, 3:00 in the morning. Customer service

ənd lʊk, aɪ gɪt ɪt. ðɛrz ˈoʊnli soʊ ˈmɛni aʊərz ɪn ðə deɪ. wɪr ɔl pleɪɪŋ catch-up. ɑr tɛk gaɪz wərk ənˈtɪl 2:00 3:00 ɪn ðə ˈmɔrnɪŋ. ˈkəstəmər ˈsərvɪs

is slammed. We're running out of inventory. We've got shipping issues and programming problems. And the bigger we get, the more complicated it's going to get.

But isn't this what a start-up is? What? Say it. What is everyone so worried about?

That it's all going too fast, and it could get away from us. Our investors just think that a seasoned CEO could take some things off your plate. That's all.

Just free you up to do what you do great. You come up with the ideas, and let somebody else make the trains run on time.

But Cameron, this new person, they are going to want to do things their way. Technically be my boss. I mean, how can I do what I do if I have to report to someone

bət ˈkæmərən, ðɪs nu ˈpərsən, ðeɪ ər goʊɪŋ tɪ wɔnt tɪ du θɪŋz ðɛr weɪ. ˈtɛknɪkəli bi maɪ bɔs. aɪ min, haʊ kən aɪ du wət aɪ du ɪf aɪ hæv tɪ rɪˈpɔrt tɪ ˈsəmˌwən

else, run every idea I have by this person? Can you see that working? You know.

Uh, excuse me. I apologize, but Becky said you needed something taken care of on your jacket.

Oh, right.

Thank you, Ben.

Of course.

The V.C.s made up a list of potential CEOs. Let's just take a look at the list. Explore it, then decide. Baby steps.
