So going to these concerts is his passion. And he found work that allows him to do that. Right. And now he might not continue to do what he's doing now, but he'll probably do something else as he gets older that will allow him to continue to spend his time there.

And during the, during that time away, during that time off, you know, there's masterclasses, there's Udemy, there's all these other places, courses that you can go and learn new skills and learn different skills and, I think that there's so many jobs that are going to exist because of AI in 10, 15, 20 years that don't exist now.

I heard Gary Vee the other day saying, and I agree, he's like, there's going to be a business in five or 10 years where people will pay you to go on walks with them. You have a certain topic of interest that they share, they want to hear your opinion on it, and they're going to pay you 20 bucks to walk with them.

You know, you haven't been laid in two years. Yeah, you know, it's interesting. And we're thinking in our current situation, the way that we're currently showing up, that these things are going to be really difficult. And at first they are. But like for sleep, for example, I wake up now most mornings. And the way I feel, I didn't know that feeling was on the menu a couple of years ago.

I didn't know it was possible to feel that good. And so for me personally, Like avoiding a glass of wine or two at night now, it's less about, oh, I know this is really bad for me. And it's more about I sort of traded one addiction for another. Like I'm more addicted to waking up and feeling amazing in the morning than I am from the feeling I'll get from having a glass or two of wine.

Even like I'll show my age a little bit now. I'm 48 now. I went out last night with my family to a concert. It's 11 o'clock at night, and there's a great pizza joint right by the 930 Club in Washington, D.C., and they all wanted pizza. And, like, I love the pizza, and it's really good, but I also knew that I have, like, this conversation with you today.

I've got a few other things that I need to do. And so it was just my body, my mind, my spirit, my soul, they were helping me in the moment. To make it not a difficult choice to avoid doing that. Right. And so kudos to you for the advice that you gave that guy, man. And again, like I think all of these things are totally fine.
