Tom Wolfe put together the first one.
And then the second one has Krakauer and Lewis and like all the modern.
I'm a huge Barry fan.
Well, I mean, one thing I would encourage you to do, there was this book I read when I was really in, I think back in business school called Shark Proof by Harvey McKay.
He wrote...
He's known for his sales book, but he wrote a book about careers, and he said to keep your dream job.
This was an older book, so he said keep it in a Manila folder in a file, but you could create it in a Google Doc or something where you're just keeping notes.
Like, well, if I do it one day, you know, and everything you learn, people you might talk to, I think you just pile more and more stuff in there, and it'll start to feel more real.
Like, you can begin the process before you make the leap, right?
Right.
And then the second thing, I'm going to say three things.
The second thing I would say is if you have some curiosity that's occupying your downtime, that's a really interesting tell.
You know, when I was an engineer, I got a computer engineering degree and I was working at Compact Computers in Houston that was a big hot company back in the day.
And
I was going home at night, and I had learned about stocks, and I was trading stocks.
I'd read one up on Wall Street.
I had this, I forget what it was called, this book.
You just get this book with all these one-pagers on every stock.
That's what I was doing in my spare time.
So if you're doing something like that in your spare time, it's calling you.
