In my first book in the sports gene, I took a trip to Arctic Sweden that I cut from the book.
Right.
And if I had done a little more thing, I mean, the trip was super interesting.
I don't, I'm not that I regret having taken it, but.
That's a tough thing to cut.
And so I think had I put in a little more thought, if I had understood what the book would look like, if I had done the press release, I would have realized that this was not going to fit.
And that'd be so different from what I'm used to too.
So I think it would be interesting.
Like, cause some, there's some writers that write books.
I'm not one of them.
Every great person.
I mean, certainly resilience, right?
Certainly resilience.
There's no, no matter how good you are, like everyone faces some setback that I think they would have considered devastating or unimaginable at some point and they have to pick themselves back up.
And I think that often is because there's something in the process that they love, not only the goal.
So I think that's true about every great person.
Because I was going to say curiosity.
And I think that's about getting curiosity about yourself, about getting better, about getting others.
And I think that's very common.
But I wouldn't say that's true to every great person.
