Mid-career.
And as I write about it in the book, I'm mid-career and I'd been running a pretty big business actually.

He's going to get promoted.
He calls me and he says, hey, you're going to get my job.
I really want you to have it.
And I said to him, no way.
I said, I'm not ready for that job.
I got a lot more things I got to learn.
