Part of it was this conversation we overheard in a diner. We always tell each other this today. It was pretty funny.

There was two women in a diner sitting behind us and they were like, preparation plus opportunity equals miracles, sister. Preparation plus opportunity. And so we would, jokingly, we'd always say that, but we really meant it. It's like, just get good. Just get good and then someone will open the door and then you're good and get to do stuff. And so we would just train. All we did was train.
