:48:01
I’ve set up
front companies

:48:04
that are executive
recruiting firms.

:48:09
Essentially I’m a spy.
:48:13
I'll locate
your employees

:48:16
and I will tell them
that I’m calling

:48:18
from Acme
Recruiting Agency

:48:20
and that I’ve got a
job that pays them

:48:23
considerably more than
what they’re paying.

:48:25
Would they mind meeting
me for an interview?

:48:28
And when the executive
shows up

:48:30
what he doesn’t
realize is

:48:31
I’m actually debriefing him
on behalf of a competitor.

:48:35
That there is no job
and that the office

:48:37
that he’s at
has been rented

:48:39
and the picture on my desk
of my family is a phoney

:48:44
and it's all just a big
elaborate ruse

:48:47
to glean competitive
information from him.

:48:52
I don’t feel any guilt.
:48:54
It's you know what I mean
you have to expect

:48:58
that guys like me
are out there.

:49:03
We're predators.
:49:12
It's about competition
it's about market share

:49:14
it's about
being aggressive

:49:16
and it's about
shareholder value.

:49:19
What is your
stock at today?

:49:21
If you’re a CEO
:49:24
I mean do you think your
shareholders really care

:49:28
whether you’re Billie
Buttercup or not?

:49:31
Do you think that
they really

:49:33
they would prefer you
to be a nice guy?

:49:36
Over having money
in their pocket?

:49:39
I don’t think so.
:49:40
I think people want money.
:49:42
That’s the bottom line.
:49:44
The fact that most of these
companies are run

:49:46
by white men
white rich men

:49:48
means that they
are out of touch

:49:50
with what the majority
of the world is.

:49:52
Because the majority
of this planet

:49:54
are not a bunch
of rich white guys.

:49:57
They are people
of other colours

:49:58
they are the majority.
