Yeah. And I think the one other thing I'll tell people is I saw this the other day. I saw somebody post. I think it was a comment on one of my posts. I actually commented back. They said, you know, I just I know I can trust you. And I just whatever you say, I know I can take it to the bank. And I said, I appreciate that.

And one of the things I've really tried to do now in this stage of my career is I want to teach people how to think. Because if I just give you the information and I'm giving you a fish, great. But I'd rather you understand how I came to these conclusions. You can see my logic and how it tracks. And then you can start applying it elsewhere. And one of the things I say to people is I'm like,

if you want a quick and dirty hack for knowing who to follow, try not to listen so much to exactly the information people say, but listen to how they say it. Okay. I was just telling you, I was on a podcast the other day where I said, you know, here's this study. I might butcher the details. And if I get the math wrong, if experts out there want to comment and correct me, please do that. Like,
