Yeah, I think that's really well said. You know, I think almost every successful person that we've had on this podcast has pulled some of their lessons, not from success, but actually from failure and shortcoming. A lot of our listeners, it's really easy to just superimpose on you that, okay, John was always this amazing guy. He did everything right. And life was just this perfect uphill chart.
