I think too, if I could give anybody like one, it's somebody you mentioned people just entering into the field.

It it took me a lot of years to figure this out, but you have to swallow your pride.

Until you swallow your pride, you cannot be an effective listener.

I lied.

There was an aha moment for me.

Early on I used to be very annoyed at the people who were like, I'm too good to help you.

and w you know, figure it out on your own. 'Cause it's like the the pure arrogance of some people in in our field.

And it was very annoying to me.

And because I was like, I'm just trying to learn like the rest of you.

We we all started somewhere and somebody had to have helped you.

You didn't just wake up and know how to do this, right?

You went to people, you you joined uh focus groups, discussion groups, you read a lot, and I was very annoyed by people like that.

And then one day I caught myself being that person.

And I didn't see that other than that one moment because that was a like I just became the people I don't like.

And my moral

will not let me do that.

So that was an aha moment for me for sure.

Like I did not want to be that guy.

Oh, I would say a good eight years.

But I had never treated anybody like that.
