And so I, if maybe people listening, remember nothing else, it's that, that growth and comfort never coexist.

Okay, so in a nutshell, all good power, it had everything to do with the moment, Dan, when I wrote the book.

Go back and think 2021, 22.

It's the idea that I want people to feel the confidence to work on really tough problems, but do it by embracing tension, do it respectfully, and don't focus on perfection.

And that idea that embrace tension, do it respectfully, and just celebrate progress is what good power is.

And if you do it that way, you can solve big problems.

And kind of in retrospect, five steps.

One of them is start by being in service of something.

Don't serve it.

Your whole life, you were in service of clients.

You didn't just serve them.

And simply all that means is put their success before yours.

Yeah, you know, it has a lot to do with this belief I learned along the way, which said, if you give me your time, I have to give you something of value in return.

And I felt like if people read the book, I needed to give them something of value in return.

And in part, that personal note of writing it by hand, trying to say to you, like, this wasn't canned.

I didn't do this.

You know, it wasn't some AI didn't write this note.

I actually put thought into this.

I'm trying to tell you that.

And that your time was so valuable is what I'm trying to give back, something to you that I took away from it.
