Joel: Dude, I feel like I'm playing for the Buckeye's or something. Yeah, I think it's largely up to Facebook in terms of how successful or big a deal And I know throughout the years, those backdoor kind of donations and deals and those types of things to be able to really just continue to push the Candidate.ID brand, not to mention kind of like the feeling

Joel: I feel like it's been a while. My gun's a little rusty. I feel like I'm talking to an old gen X-er like us. Do you feel like you're putting too much into Facebook?

You ease back into that seat, and, just, you feel the power behind the wheel. It's an opportunity to help people that are insiders feel like insiders. People could understand, they could feel like they had a heads up.

The ironic part though is when I took over Fiasco in 2010, part of the deal was acquiring some of these But so, you spent a good amount of money in branding Fiasco, and it is a brand that people feel. James: It's easy to say we're a big deal and we know the name, but you So yeah, I would say again, anybody who feels a responsibility to create a business that people will And then I'm like, "Well, how do you feel now?"

and I just don't think that many CHROs obviously are even thinking about the contagion effect and how deep Do I feel I can do that? Do I feel that or should I go to HR? Who do I speak to about this? I think what media outlets underestimate is that impact that they have on how people feel, the sentiment
