I'm not a people pleaser, but I like it when everyone gets along.

And typically we're all fighting about stuff, right?

And it's kind of a fractured and divisive world out there most of the time.

And what I love about food is the connectivity of it, the unifying nature of it.

And so I was doing what I loved.

I was trying to serve, you know, the world by injecting some joy and lightness and

fun into it.

And so even though every day was grueling, I mean, physically grueling, it was like I was rolling downhill and all of these magical things kept happening.

And I've learned since then, I mean, there was a moment in time where I was like, oh yeah, I got this.

I got this entrepreneurship thing.

I'm good.

I do this.

I do this pretty well.

And I made a couple of decisions that were not as intentional or maybe as aligned and fell flat on my face.

And I was like, right, right.

Good reminder.

You know, move with intention, make sure everything is aligned, purpose driven, grounded in a bigger why.

That's what really moves the needle.

Oh, thank you for that.
