Ok, here a bunch of answers....
11. Why Curracco?
If you mean Curacao (cure- a-sow) hahaha61514; Why not? The business climate is great and the beaches are perfect and the casinos are easy if you play EXTREME. Also, the corporate structures are affordable and honest, and they are Dutch! Ask any Dutchman, the Dutch invented business. Call Chad at Python? he is the foremost expert on Dutch law, culture and customs. He is my constant advisor.
12. What state was paycom in when you came onboard? What did you do? Why did you do it? Why did they need you?
Paycom was in the state of California Sleazy., I thought you knew that.
OK, so Paycom was in the top ranks of all processors with iBill (a moment of silence please) and CCBill and Jettis, plus about 50 others that have come and gone. The company had grown at a tremendous rate with 3 people at its helm and a lot of growing pains. The banking relationships were not good because there was a crook that had taken advantage of the guys. I corrected that and put into place some corporate structure, marketing, branding and most importantly communication to clients about the problems and solutions. Then, we all performed and turned things around.
Let me be clear: I have no reason to stroke anyone?s ego, let alone my own. But Paycom was built by Clay Andrews and Joel Hall with nothing but an idea and a ton of brain power that these guys have and still posses and control. It is their baby and they know their shit, every which way you can imagine. I was a gun for hire who became a full partner. I came in and whacked the problems, built some things and was lucky enough to learn a great deal and make some lifelong friends.
13. Have you ever been drunk or high at a webmaster event? Thoughts on intoxication at these functions.
Yes, drunk. I don?t use drugs, unless you count alcohol. I have been hammered a time or two, but I try to keep my wits about me. I?m there for business.
My opinion about intoxication is simple: If you can handle the parties and still get up the next day and handle your business, great. I won?t miss a meeting, ever, because I am hung over. I respect the time of others and if I have a schedule, I try to keep it, unless I have a conflict that arises and requires me to change.
I think too many people go to shows to just get ripped. I mean, the inside of a club or hotel room is the same, no matter where you are. So getting torn the fuck up night after night, show after show in your room or at the clubs makes no sense to me, but hey, that?s just me?
