I love Blinkist for an example.

You know what Blinkist is?

Yeah, it's the short books, right?

Because my attention span is short, I need something that gets me to the answers quick because I also am not fast at reading.

So when I read, I can get bored really, really quick.

Blinkist helps me.

So that's something I utilize for my learning and education because I can get to the points and operationalize them really, really quick.

So tools like that for me to advance my learning is where I get really intrigued.

And I know that about myself.

And that's part of having self-awareness of figuring out how you best learn, you know, and how you best educate.

And because you said you don't read full books as much, the different question I want to ask you here was who are the people that you've spent time with over the last year or so that you've learned from in the last year?

You know, it's funny you say that.

My closest mentors in life are the people I'm closest with.

An example, if someone said, who's a great mentor in your life, it'd be my business partner.

He's been a mentor because he has different thinking.

He'll challenge me.

I'll challenge him.

I would say my wife.

Believe it or not, my wife, because she sees life in a way she lives in in the gray.

She will always take the hard route to figure things out and keeps me grounded in my approach in life and every aspect of life.
