Both happen. Yeah. And there are so many things from her story that you've told us that were just pure luck. Like the reaction to her higher ups when she, you know, took the gamble and took the risk on like, I'm going to berate this woman on the show. And like, luckily it's going to be a hit. That's luck. Cause her higher ups could have fired her for that.

Like that could have, her story could have ended there. Luckily it didn't. And they had a different reaction, but like to say like, oh, that was a calculated choice.

I wonder for Oprah, if there's some aspect to where she thinks that like her success was, I don't want to say predetermined, but like, I know a lot of people who believe that they are where they are because it was like, like divinely written that way. And like, it doesn't matter what choices they make because it's all going to work out for them in the end.

Like that's definitely a mindset of people that I, that I know. And I wonder if she feels that way.
