Podcasts you can just copy people like you take their playbook and it's a great way to do it It's like I'm just I'm just gonna steal and you were obviously very open and very willing to share which helped a lot And so I just started I was like I'm using read wise I'm taking notes exactly how David takes notes, but like I don't have it all so Like one of the things I want to talk to you about a little bit more is your process So I know how you take notes, which is you read you highlight you like to physically highlight red pen ruler, okay, and
