I think it's an experience.

Then our reality is constructed

entirely with other people and so the number one value the first few weeks is actually disconnecting from your normal rhythm and saying okay i displaced my entire life i am coming over here i'm intentionally going to work on this company and i'm going to create a thing for other people to the exclusion of everything else and i'm going to focus on just that and that alone is so valuable

Because otherwise, you know, the first thing we say is like, in every other context, your best friend calls you and needs to move and needs your help that weekend.

Now you've got an excuse.

Yeah.

And the answer is, sorry.

It's always tomorrow.

Yeah.

Right now I'm doing a thing.

And so it's kind of funny how much just making intentional space in your life is just that.

Yeah.

And then doing it in sort of like an encounter session style way.

It's like you're with all these other people and every single week you see –

their struggles and what they're going through and the evolution in their thinking.

And then about week three or four, it starts becoming, oh, it's working for them.

Am I behind?

Would you say it's competitive or more like everyone inspires everyone else?

Ideally, it's the latter.

Sometimes it's competitive.
