00:00:00
Speaker 1: Our friend Amy Wagner is here wealth advisor Dean Dorton Private Wealth. You can learn more about the Deandorton difference at deandortonwealth dot com. Amy, this is a Senate. We have all hell breaking loose. This is the epitome of chaos.
00:00:13
Speaker 2: You know.
00:00:13
Speaker 3: I like a good party, though.
00:00:14
Speaker 1: The iHeartMedia Christmas party. I apologize for any of my co workers. I apologize for anything that may happen here. But it's nice of you to join us in the middle of the party to talk sports and money.
00:00:26
Speaker 2: Hey, the first of all, this is like my tenth year at this party. Second of all, I normally pop my head in here and make fun of you for having to work during the party. So now I'm just going to work alongside you during the party.
00:00:37
Speaker 3: It's fine.
00:00:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, I get made fun of for having to work at my job, which decides to have the party while I'm.
00:00:44
Speaker 4: Doing my job.
00:00:46
Speaker 3: Happens every year.
00:00:47
Speaker 4: It does happen every year.
00:00:48
Speaker 1: So the biggest story in sports is one that I just think is really interesting from a number of different perspectives, and I think from your perspective sports and money and business.
00:00:58
Speaker 4: There's some layers to this. This link story right where he's.
00:01:01
Speaker 1: Coaching at ole Miss and ole Miss is having like their greatest season ever and they're going to be in the playoff, but he's being poached by a conference foe, and so he goes to LSU and everybody's mad and he wants to stay at ole Miss in the playoff and ole Miss says, take take a hike, pal. And there's so many interesting arms of this, but I think there's some real life and real world application.
00:01:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm gonna boil this down to the top five things I think that we can all.
00:01:24
Speaker 3: Learn from lean kif h I'm gonna write them down, yep, yeah, make your list.
00:01:28
Speaker 4: Okay.
00:01:28
Speaker 2: The first one is when you announce that you are leaving your job, you no longer have control over what happens after that, Right, So he wants to stay around You mentioned this, right and coach them through the championship and they're like, well.
00:01:43
Speaker 3: You're going, dude, so go.
00:01:45
Speaker 2: You don't get to stick around, so you can't be upset once you give your notice about what happens. You don't get to finish the project or go to the big fun trip the conference and everyone else is going.
00:01:56
Speaker 4: On holiday party.
00:01:58
Speaker 3: If you left earlier. Today, you don't to come to the holiday party, right, So that's part of it.
00:02:02
Speaker 2: But also you can't control how other people respond. So initially lane Kiffin said, all my players want me to coach. Now some of the players are coming out saying not exactly like they're hurt too, and so you can't control people's reactions, I think is part of that Number two points, don't take another job before you.
00:02:23
Speaker 3: Know the details.
00:02:25
Speaker 2: He actually said in his press conference. I don't really know what my contract looks like. I think it's good, I don't know the financial details of it. Listen, lane Kiffin's going to be fine. He is now the top paid college football coach.
00:02:41
Speaker 3: He's gonna be fine.
00:02:43
Speaker 2: But nobody should ever take a job before you are fully aware of the details. And a lot of people stop with salary, but it's beyond that. It's what's the company match, what's the PTO situation?
00:02:54
Speaker 3: Is there a hybrid workplace?
00:02:55
Speaker 2: Are you going to expect me to be in this office from nine to five Monday through Frint. You need to know all of those details before signing on. Lane Kiffin heard LSU boarded a private jets and he's gone, right, I mean, and maybe if you're boarding a private jet to do the interview, you should just know the other details will probably be taken care of. But let's face it, I mean, Dean Dorton didn't bring me in on a private jet.
00:03:19
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, right, I've only worked here my entire adult life, and there was no private jet when they hired me, So that's probably never gonna happen.
00:03:27
Speaker 4: There would be now, there would be now.
00:03:28
Speaker 2: Of course, yes, the reputation that you've built, they would bring you on in a private jet without thinking twice, you know.
00:03:34
Speaker 3: I think another thing is know what you're getting into.
00:03:38
Speaker 2: Lane Kiffin is coming from a place where he was an SEC underdog punching above his weight, right.
00:03:44
Speaker 3: I mean, that's a great story to tell.
00:03:46
Speaker 2: You're coming into an LSU that is expecting results immediately.
00:03:51
Speaker 3: Listen. Lane Kiffin's a guy that gets results.
00:03:54
Speaker 2: I know, he's brilliant, offensive, play caller, all the things. There's no expectation that he's not going.
00:04:00
Speaker 3: To do great.
00:04:01
Speaker 2: But you have to walk into an environment knowing that the pressure is on from the get go. For the average person, when you are taking a job, one great thing to do is to find other people on LinkedIn who work there or who have worked there, reach out, connect with them, ask them what is culture like? You know, it's I know many people who've done this before and found out things that were game changers for them. Right, So I think it's important to not only be talking to the people who are offering the job, but talk to the people who work there too, and see what kind of position you're walking into.
00:04:35
Speaker 1: And there's there's very little honeymoon, Like Lane Kiffin, there's no honeymoon. It's you better win week one, you better have us in the playoff next year, competing for SEC championships, in the national title discussion. And I feel like, and again take this from somebody who has never changed jobs in his adult life, but you like, you get a new gig somewhere, They're not going to give you a month and a half to figure out who does what?
00:04:54
Speaker 4: You better start hitting it producing results immediately.
00:04:57
Speaker 3: Yeah, it doesn't.
00:04:58
Speaker 2: I mean doesn't have the choice here, right, I mean he's coming into an LSU, which, by the way, that's the next point is know you're worth LSU had one person on the list, right, Lane Kiffin, Who else are.
00:05:09
Speaker 3: They going to go for?
00:05:10
Speaker 2: Right? So you know if you are the perfect person for this position, that you can ask for things beyond the salary that are important to you.
00:05:19
Speaker 3: An extra week of vacation.
00:05:21
Speaker 2: Pro tip never take a new job without planning a vacation before so that you can say I can start on this date, but also I have this on the calendar, right, things along those lines. But you got to know, unless you're just getting out of college and you're starting your first job, once you've gotten far enough along in your career, right, like, you could make different demands today, mo Eggert for a job than you could have when you first started here.
00:05:45
Speaker 4: Do you know who I work for?
00:05:48
Speaker 2: I do, and you and I have talked about. I'm negotiating your next contracts.
00:05:52
Speaker 3: I hope I hope who you. I hope who you work for is listening right now, because I'm absolutely doing that.
00:05:57
Speaker 4: I know right. I'll start working on that now.
00:05:59
Speaker 3: Yeah good, I'm here for you.
00:06:01
Speaker 2: And then I think the last thing is whenever there is a change like this, drama comes up, right, like when you hear that a coworker is leaving, when is someone you loved or someone you didn't love, people are talking about it. I really respect the new coach Pete Golding for saying thirty nine minutes after the press conference was scheduled, I'm actually going to cancel this press conference because this is a circus. Yeah, and my players don't actually need a circus. They need to focus on the upcoming game and being what they need to be, which is players. And I super respect that. And I think if you are an employer who's losing an employee or one that's gaining one, focusing on here's the.
00:06:43
Speaker 3: Job at hands.
00:06:44
Speaker 2: We might be losing someone, we might be gaining someone, but the job is still the job.
00:06:47
Speaker 3: Let's keep our eyes on the ball here.
00:06:50
Speaker 1: Do you have any a list or any rules or anything to suggest if people get out of control of the company Christmas party? Because there is unending chaos happened on the other side of our studio door.
00:07:01
Speaker 2: I'm usually part of the chaos, so I'm not going to give anyone any I mean, you know.
00:07:06
Speaker 4: Really well.
00:07:08
Speaker 2: I mean maybe not to the degree of some others, but you and I go back a few years.
00:07:11
Speaker 4: We do. I'll just say this.
00:07:13
Speaker 1: I had to run off some copies during a break because I needed to print my notes for our guest. Right before you Ryan Kerwin, and I'm using the copier when somebody came and handed me a bottle of windecks, And I don't know what that's all about.
00:07:25
Speaker 4: So there's some stuff going on out there that.
00:07:28
Speaker 3: It's fun. It's a holiday party.
00:07:31
Speaker 4: It is.
00:07:32
Speaker 1: It is a holiday. But can I come to the Dean Dorton Holiday party?
00:07:35
Speaker 2: Oh?
00:07:35
Speaker 4: Yes, this weekend? Yeah, you guys have your work party on the weekend. Yeah, must be awesome.
00:07:40
Speaker 2: So it's not while anyone's working. That's the point, right, Yeah.
00:07:44
Speaker 1: Well it's hard at a radio station to have a party when no one's working because it's listen. As some find out when they come here, it's a twenty four to seven business.
00:07:51
Speaker 2: I came from twenty four seven. I get that more than most people do.
00:07:56
Speaker 4: Very good.
