This is where everyone falls in love with me, Jefferson.

OK, I've got it.

OK, well, I think that work-life balance is a myth.

And we all know that.

I think that anyone who's been listening to me knows that.

I think it's the wrong goal.

Right.

Like I have seen in my life and because I believe that life and work and it all comes in seasons, there is a moment.

to be all in, to be pedal to the metal and to go for what it is that you want with no, you know, no fucks given.

Like no, like you're just going to go in.

And there is a time when, you know, like right after you have a baby, for example, when you don't have a choice to do that.

You have to like lean out a little bit and you have to take care of your body and take care of the baby and find a new pace for yourself.

But I think that this idea that we've created in culture, that somehow there's some mythical balance that exists and until you've found it, nothing's going to work out for you.

Like, that's BS.

Like, you need to have a great career and a great business.

Like, you need proximity.

You need visibility.

You can't, like...

You don't get good over a Zoom call.

Like you need to be in the room.
