You know, it's like, we've done some education work in the past, you know. And let's be real, how much education reform really matters? Mark, you do all this research, but who's reading it? Is anybody really reading it? Such a downer. Yeah. Or that person who's always in the red. that's activated, like it's caustic.

And so my point here is that we're going to default in many ways to being in one of these quadrants, maybe all day long, maybe part of the day. But as someone who is leading, because I consider leadership teaching, someone who's managing a team as a teacher in a classroom, as a parent, couple, whatever, I've got to be aware of kind of where I live emotionally

And I've got to be aware that not everybody wants to be with me where I'm at. And my job is to create an emotional rollercoaster ride for people, to bring people on an emotional journey, because that's what's going to keep them interested. And believe it or not, from our research and others' research, we know that certain emotions are better for certain things.

So, for example, if I want my high school students to be like really brainstorming ideas, I'm not going to put on like a Gregorian chant. You know, da, da, da, da. It's like, ugh. I'm going to put on, you know, go back to Lady Gaga, you know, I'm on the edge of glory. And like, let's get pumped up and like, everybody, let's get the post-its out there.

And everybody's excited and just brainstorming. But then, you know, which one are we, like, what's going to be the project? You can't be all hyped up because then your brain is not in a very kind of... a building consensus kind of model, mode. So when we bring our energy level down, it's like, oh, let me think about it for a minute. You're more thoughtful. You're more careful.

You're more like, I don't know. And people would say, well, why would blue, why would unpleasant, low energy be helpful? Well, believe it or not, oftentimes we can be much more detail-oriented when we're in that low energy, unpleasant place. It's like writing, I do a lot of grant writing, right? It's like, I think it's great. Not a great idea. Yeah.

Mark, put on the classical music, zone everybody out, get into that place where you are going to look for every i to dot, every comma that should be a semicolon, every dash that should be this, paragraph matching. You can't do that when you're really super excited. Your brain doesn't operate that way. And then people say red. Why would red be great?
