Now, of course, I'm I'm like giving a little lilty voice, which probably isn't fair, but that's how it felt to me.

And of course, they're like, this guy's crazy.

So that can lead to conflict where I'm pushing them past their risk threshold and they see me as reckless.

Meanwhile, I see them as like, oh, my God, would you just go?

The worst story I know of that I've seen is when someone has a step back, when one of the leaders has a failure.

I've seen people who are in a competitive situation use that as like, oh, kick them while they're down.

Because they're on the rocks.

They may have been a good performer.

They may be a good performer again.

You've got this one moment if you don't like them to like dog pile on top of them and finish them off.

And a couple of times I've definitely seen people who seem very unassuming and like they had nothing to say, like all these fangs come out right when they see the, you know, they see a little blood in the water, maybe use a shark analogy and they start the feeding frenzy.

So I see now on people who struggle is finish them off while they're down.

And that to me seemed like give them a hand up.

So can I interject here?

I...

rant at people almost every time you use the word should you're giving up agency or in your terms that you like ownership.

Every time I think, oh, Cody, you're my manager.

You should be looking out for my career.

What I've just done is stop looking out for myself and put it on you.

And now I'm reliant on you to do something which I don't control.
