To write, I never even thought, who do I want to be in five or 10 years? Like, what's that arc of what I want to kind of connect to? What am I optimizing for? How do I make myself better in that way? So I want to make sure people understand that if you can't look at a photo of yourself aged, at the very least, write a letter to your future self.

You have to actually visualize what that is and putting in not the negative, but what you really want to see aspirationally in that letter now starts creating a roadmap to getting there. Because at the very kind of bottom of the pyramid of what that roadmap is, is visualizing what that success looks like, right? So I was, in high school, I ran track.

But where that race is won or lost is in the transition zone, is in the passing of the baton. And so when you write a letter to your future self, yes, you're connecting to your future.
