Yeah. No, no, no. It's OK. So then I finished my book and I was like just thoroughly thrashed. And I had a sabbatical because I wanted to have time to promote the book and educate people about what's in the book. And which I'd never gotten a chance to do before. It's like doing this. Fantastic, right? I get to talk to people. So I really wanted to make some changes.

And actually, this gets something we were talking about before we started recording, which is after I wrote the book, it's all, you know, it's going in the proofing stage. I was talking to my daughter and just, you know, out of the blue, she said, we're talking about ADHD. And she's like, Dad, you totally have ADHD. And I'm like, what? What?

And I'm like, oh, Gen Z, overdiagnosis of ADHD, whatever, right? And then I remembered when I was a kid, my school contacted my parents and said, you have ADHD. He has ADHD. And it was interesting because it was like I actually was ahead in school by a year, and I got held back because I just was so socially bad. I couldn't stop talking in class and I was just like really awkward and impulsive.

And I say, I don't have time for blah, blah, blah.
