So in our case, it was, here's the narrative of what I'm believing about you in this moment, or I'm believing about this situation. I know it's not true based on this new future that we're creating, but this is what I'm feeling and believing at this moment. It really is, how do you create new inputs?

I know it's not true based on this new future that we're creating, but this is what I'm feeling and believing at this moment. It really is, how do you create new inputs?
And so if you're in a place where you move into, whether we're talking business situation or personally with mental health, if you continue to put in the same inputs, things likely won't change for you. But for me, one of the positive inputs that I changed was I got into fly fishing. And so that put me in the energy of the river.

But for me, one of the positive inputs that I changed was I got into fly fishing. And so that put me in the energy of the river.
It put me in all the movement and all the creativity that goes into that, all the analyzing the river and trying to figure out where the fish is, but mostly just for me being in nature, right? That was a part of changing those inputs so that I could shift the, not only the narrative, but the outcomes of that narrative.

Absolutely. The quality of the output is directly tied to the quality of what you put in. The better the input, the more authentic and accurate the outcome. That makes perfect sense. Now, let's lighten things up a bit. You've told me about the worst story you've ever heard. Let's flip the script. What is the best story you've come across so far?

Now, let's lighten things up a bit. You've told me about the worst story you've ever heard. Let's flip the script. What is the best story you've come across so far?
Yeah, so I'll reframe the question slightly to the best story I've ever felt. And to set that up, actually, I want to, before I get there, I want to, you talked about the fact of your very rational approach. And I love the perspectives that someone who's wired like you versus someone who's wired like me, because I can definitely be more on

the other side of the spectrum and how do we integrate those. But Herminia Barra tells this story about a CEO that she coached. And this woman went from being, she was an engineer and she was elevated into CEO. Things were not going well with her team. She was driving the board crazy and was just incredibly rational.

And this woman went from being, she was an engineer and she was elevated into CEO. Things were not going well with her team. She was driving the board crazy and was just incredibly rational.
And so one of the board members said, coached her and said, you need to be more human. Try telling a story. And her response was very angry. And she said, no, that's manipulation. Why would I tell a story? It's all about the facts. It was interesting that Herminia said to her when she coached her was when this woman said, I'm being authentic to who I am as an engineer.

And what Herminia said was, you're being authentic to the version of you that got you here. If you want to succeed in this role, there's a different version of yourself that you need to step into and be authentic to that version of yourself. And so it doesn't mean you change your values or your morals or anything like that. But growth is very uncomfortable, right?

So I like to think about growth as bespoke shoes or the experiment of trying on different pair of shoes. So if you have the best cobbler in the world, make a pair of shoes for you. It's not guaranteed that they're going to be super comfortable when you first put them on. They might be incredibly uncomfortable.

So when we, Herminia talks about experimenting with different possible selves, when you try on those different types of shoes and wear them, they might be uncomfortable for a week or two. But if it's the right one, eventually it will fit you perfectly. Just wanted to respond to Matt. In terms of the best story that I've ever felt, it's actually tied to the worst story.
