[03:53] – Worst Entrepreneurial Moment: Stephen had a secretary who had been working with him for a while. He had started a profit-sharing plan at his company because he wanted his people to feel they were self-employed. However, Stephen didn’t want to give them money that they wouldn’t be good stewards of, so he created an online system that his employees needed to complete before they could get their share. His secretary came to him asking if she and her husband could get their share without having to go through the system – because they couldn’t find a babysitter. Stephen said no, and she started crying
