Sometimes nothing comes out of it. We ask big questions like, what do we want Alpen to be 10 years from now? What do you want your life to look like 10 years from now? Where are you getting on track, off track? If you were going to achieve your 10-year goals in six months, what would be true? Just these really big questions. Sometimes amazing things come out of that.

Sometimes amazing things come out of that three days later in the shower. But I like making space to have that. And I just enjoy that too. So it's like a way to put space on my calendar. You activate different parts of your brain when you talk than when you think or read. So just the act of having another coach, you're actually lighting up more of your brain. So

Then I have another coach, Rachel Lockett, who helps with the org chart of Alpine. I haven't, at every step of the way, I'm running a business that's bigger than I've ever run before. She's run, she's been the chief people officer at really large companies. So she can help guide me through like, hey, this org chart makes no sense. And here's some ways you could be thinking about it.

I'll go like a little bit deep here, but I think that ultimately each of us has most of the answers inside of us in our intuition. Like I think we have this compass and you could call it your intuition, your soul, whatever that is. That's incredibly powerful. It's like our own LLM. It's taken every experience and every input we've ever had and it's storing all this and it has all the answers.

And so I think a lot of personal growth is understanding what that intuition is telling you and spending the space and time to really understand what it's saying and getting out of your head, which is a lot of times confusing things, and then having the courage to go do what it says.

Some of those things are designing, being really intentional about your life, figuring out what does a successful life look like for you in all your different areas, and really spending time on that and designing it, and then having a practice where you're working toward that almost on a daily basis.

Is there an episode of the second part of the description of courage? It's a key word, it seems like, that stands out in your memory. What does that mean in practice for you? What's a time that you felt like a thing your intuition told you and then it required courage, which is a big word?
