I think you'd be a good fit here, and let's see if we can make that happen, right? And then conversations went on, and I'm like, oh, this sounds great.

And, you know, I started, you know, like, trying to understand what do podcast hosts do? How do they interview? Like, I started studying, like, the process, right? So I wanted to do it as good a job as I could. But then, you know, by the time, you know, things started rolling, right, you know, We had that conversation. I was like, oh, I'm not going to lie.

You know, I am a French speaker after all. I can't hand that over to somebody else. Right. Like I am responsible for my own happiness. So I can't be bitter and resentful.
