But to talk to your specific comment about light blonde learning, the skill stacker. So I am the product to academic people. And so both of my parents were educators. They both were educators at all different levels. They were both academically inclined. And so was our family. And it was ingrained in us very young in two ways.

They both were educators at all different levels. They were both academically inclined. And so was our family. And it was ingrained in us very young in two ways.

And the first one was we always had a room in our house that was more our study than den. It was a room where there was a lot of books. A lot of things on the wall, inspirational quotes, all that kind. And my parents often argued about who got to use the big desk and do their writing and do their research and whatever else. And on one of the walls were all of their degrees. So that's it.

And on one of the walls were all of their degrees. So that's it.

From a very early age, I'd look up at a wall and I'd see lots of people with paper and very nice brains. Oh, what are those? Well, that's my degree in education. So that was the first. And then the second one was, and this came more from a grandparent who actually didn't have a lot of education. Yeah.

He would relay to us as little kids all the time, you know what, like somebody can, they can take away your house, they can take away your possessions, they can take away your money, they can take away your family, they can take your health, they can do all that kind of stuff. The only thing that they cannot take away from you is your education. And so I still believe that.

The only thing that they cannot take away from you is your education. And so I still believe that.

I still believe that's very true. And so anyway, from a long, from my early age with those kind of two things, It was education is important, right? And you should constantly be learning, right? And I didn't know at the time that, yeah, I'd constantly be learning. Now it's related to keeping technology and technological advances and things like generative AI that I'm now studying.

It was more like you just should keep learning all the time. My parents were very flexible and it didn't really matter what. But it was important that it was with somebody who knows it. So there was an expert. And at the end, there was going to be some kind of a written comment. There was going to be a degree, a diploma, letters behind your name, whatever it is. So that's lifelong learning.

For me, there's continually learning from established institutions, programs, gathering up the diploma and other things. And really the area doesn't matter. Lifelong learning, learn whatever. But lifelong learning is, I think it's an outdated concept and particularly because it just lacks focus. I may be an example of that.

And that's where I studied English literature, I studied philosophy, I studied liberal art. Then I went to Japan and then I did a master's degree in modern Japanese literature. Okay, there's a little bit of a connection there with literature, but it's two different cultures, different languages. Then I go to the UK and I do a master's degree in social anthropology in South D.C., learning Burmese.

I lived in lots of countries, so that's where the interesting cultures, the people come from. I can back up again in a way that I can connect them. But they didn't really have a focus in building expertise. They were disjointed variety of individual level or understanding and mastery of skills and discipline. And then I had to actually build pathway to connect.

And then I had to actually build pathway to connect.

And one of the pathways that helped me do that was doing an MBA at Durham in the UK. And so I connected intersectional anthropology, I connected multi-generational stuff, and I connected performance management for business to figure out a metric to understand how to support multi-generational organizations with different levels of performance management and guidance. But it wasn't purposeful.
