I'm Dr. Dhru Beeharilal and I'm here with Dr. Steven Kirch. Steve, great to meet you, thanks for coming out today, I really appreciate the time. Steven 00:35Dr. Dhru, hey, great to be here. I'm really looking forward to our conversation today. Dhru 00:40Yeah. So, profit minds, it's obviously it's business coaching, for those who don't know, and particularly different lens, as Steven knows, you know, everyone, every coach has their own little lens through which they see the world through which they help the clients see the world. And so what's your lens? What does it look like for you? Steven 00:55It's interesting, because, yeah, my lens is quite different. I'm a scientist and I like to understand things in some level of detail before I prescribe some kind of a solution. And life is an experiment.

And, you know, I had no desire whatsoever to be a manager in the IBM System, because a manager couldn't do anything technical. And I loved technology, and I loved being on the cutting edge of developing new technologies. That was the reason that I became a physicist in the first place was to discover new things and the IBM System required that managers be managers pure and simple manage. We had a minimum of 30 people reporting to you. And that meant all you could do is manage. I've been at IBM for eight, nine years, something like that. And they did their first layoffs. And it was at that point, I realized I needed to take responsibility for my own career. When I joined IBM, I figured I'd be there for the rest of my life, you were called an “IBMer”, that was the expectation. But when they made that change, I said, well, I ...
