Well we were both in the process some

Yes, and I think part of my strategy for

overcoming that.

And by the way, when I used to be running buddies with Malcolm Gladwell, I once asked him this question

Where I said, Are you ever concerned about competing with your past self?

And he said

Oh no, I don't have any of your Jewish anxiety.

I have uh what did he say?

He said I have a because he's part British and part Jamaican.

He said, I have a Brit stiff upper lip and a Jamaican joie de vive.

So he just was like, That's not an issue for me.

But for me and Angela, obviously it is.

And

I think after my first book, which was a surprise bestseller, I was a little paralyzed after that.

And I didn't even know what that meant.
