Great to hear the process of how you are growing your businesses Mike. The whole "perceived exertion" concept gave me a chuckle when I look back at the arrogant behavior and lack of work ethic in my managers (or in my employees when I ran a business). Every time a company I worked for went thru layoffs, the first to get the axe was middle management. Their self importance and lack of productivity was appalling. In lean times when profits are thin, that won't fly. The "worker bees" who get things done usually persevere. It's all about survival.
This is a great topic,my job is 90 percent physical and 10 percent brains! We have been slammed this season! Of course I thrive under physical exertion! In fact if it wasn’t for the physical I probably wouldn’t cut it in this tech world! For decades I have been exerting myself in physical labor. That is how I earn a living! I would not be able to do all the things you do!!! You are a brainiac and physically capable. I only have the physical capability! Which I love! I had to choose flying to my daughters for her birthday,over training in Elizabeth this weekend. I fly out the first of October. Is it okay to come by this Sunday the 24th to say hello to you and yours?
Very important topic to be discussed. I believe it is important to understand cognitive exertion. Yes, typing on a keyboard is not physically exertion, but crunching a project all day into the night at a desk does put a cognitive load on the body, that can have similar feelings of physical exhaustion. Also, be careful on the employee with the bathroom cleaning, if it was not in their job description you could be up for a wrongful termination law suit.

I see it a lot. People who are busy but not productive. That why KPI's and proper planning/strategy are necessary, so we actually get the carrot.
Great talk Mike . Always love watching what you guys put out there . Be safe and have a wonderful time in Colorado.
