And by the way, the resources are amazing right now.

YouTube interviews, podcasts, like AI, you can learn faster than you ever could have learned before.

So study them.

If you ever meet them one day, the fact that you studied them this long is gonna prove super useful.

And then for the mentors you actually want guidance from, like tone it down a bit, like go two levels below what you thought you were supposed to do.

And you're going to meet somebody who's so thrilled that you recognize that they were successful and worthy of giving advice that your hit rate is going to go up dramatically.

10X or more.

Like the probability that you're going to get them to do the work is so much better.

And, and this isn't in the book, but if you ever meet the delegate person, pay as much attention to them as you possibly can.

Like learn all you can about them.

Like,

Like, be generous and kind and thoughtful.

I don't think so.

But, you know, when you were talking about your love of podcasting, you know, the word that popped into my brain, and there's a book by this title, was flow.

And I just find people that are truly tilting against their passion, they never even think about it as work.

And at times, the experience does go into this flow thing, like where when you're done, you don't even remember doing it.

Like you're just that much enamored with the whole thing.

And because I've felt that and I've seen it,

I just, I really don't know how you could do that.

I suspect some human is just wired in a certain way where they might be able to do it, but I don't know that most humans could.
