Well, first, just a thought on Sam, which is, it's hard to imagine a higher compliment I could pay someone than...
The role that Sam plays in my life, the way I would phrase it maybe is I have more conversations with Sam when he's not there than when he is.
What I mean by that is I'm often finding myself wondering in a situation, like, what would Sam think about what I'm going to do here?
I so value his...
character and judgment and fidelity and and just so many things about him but like what a role to play in somebody's life like he's the one i invoke in my head one of three or four people that i invoke in my head of like what would this person think about you know this thing i'm about to decide on um but back to the story so
He said, yeah, it was something like, what's my biggest weakness?
And he described me as being red on the color wheel, which he explained meant that when I'm interested in something, I am intense.
And I've always been this way.
I am voracious and intense and aggressive.
And I would say I have a skill at making things happen when I'm interested in them happening.
And maybe that's one side of the sword.
The other side of being red on the color wheel is this like locked in intensity.
The other side of it is that like the moment that attention is focused elsewhere, I can tend to whiplash around a lot and change my opinion really fast.
You know, it's interesting.
I learned something about myself recently, which I at first was terrified about.
And now I've come to view as everything is everything is double edged, you know, which is I have if you close your eyes and try to visualize something, a red cardinal or something,
there's a degree of how visually sharp that thing looks in your mind's eye when you close your eyes.
For me, it's just black.
I can't visualize anything.
I can't see anything.
