And what I'm trying to do is make sure that those leaders and those thinkers and those builders are in a position to be as impactful as they can be.

One of my favorite quotes this year was Timothy Chalamet when he said, you know, I want to be great and I'm not shying away from it.

You know what I mean?

And I think that my acceptance and other leaders acceptance of this moment and taking the responsibility of it is extremely important.

The moment that it clicked for me was.

When I decided to stop wrestling with whether or not I'm a leader, I would hope that the moment that we're in, we're understanding that we have to take responsibility.

Now is the time to really dig deep because it's a lot going on and I leave it up to that individual to decide what they can take in this moment because it's not for everybody to do everything, but everything is so interconnected right now that I would hope that

a lot of leaders kind of take the moment to recognize that, okay, leadership looked different a year ago.

And now the idea of that has evolved.

And I would hope that we can kind of continue to meet that moment because it's not easy.

I find myself as a food leader in a lot of conversations that aren't food-based, you know what I mean?

But I think that the thing that has made it

A little bit easier for me is accepting that leadership is not only leading where you want to lead, but it's leading where you have to and where you don't want to.

Of course.

Definitely.

Appreciate it.
