Transitions are the internal experience of managing them.

And his observation was that transitions are three steps, not two.

It's not an ending followed by a new beginning.

It's an ending followed by the neutral zone.

So, you know, it's over, then you're lost, right?

And then you get refound.

But you don't go from found to found.

Such a good point.

That's so good.

If you're really comfortable and, oh, I've extended and had a longer career and I started my fourth company.

I mean, I started the Life Design Lab at 54, you know, and so my fourth startup, you know, into my 70s.

You know, it's kind of like, hey, I like this.

The feedback loop of doing stuff I'm good at and it works is really gratifying.

And then life kind of says, yeah, let's go off and be confused.

Let's go learn how to be emotional and feel like an incompetent nincompoop for a while.

Like that's really attractive.

So I see people all the time get to the end of something and then kind of go, I'm going to go into the darkness for a while.

I think I'll go back to the clarity.

So we just re-up.

A buddy of mine my age just started his 12th company.
