And the other thing that I will say, and I do want to eventually talk just a little bit about how we build online courses, but in a second, because I truly believe that no matter what, even if somebody isn't corporate, in today's world, we all have portfolio careers.

And the more you understand the notion of portfolio careers and actually creating these ripple effects for yourself, for your reputation, for your safety net, for ageism, for, you know, whatever, the more you see it, the more you can really create life on your terms, even if it is in corporate, but then you start expanding.

So I want to go there, but just for a second, in the two weeks notice, you have an incredible book, highly recommended folks, if you are considering leaving corporate, but tell me a little bit about, First of all, writing that book, and what are some of the biggest things that you want people to shift when they read the book?

And I love that, Amy. Take us a little bit to some of these challenges, because I think it is really important to hear that. I think my hard moments as an entrepreneur are a lot harder than anything I've ever went through in corporate. But talk to me about some of these challenges, especially in the beginning.

I love that you said that, Amy, and I think it's so rare to hear it. One of the things that we do with our clients is, first of all, define their must-haves. And you're right. Sometimes it is finance. Like, I just need to make the money, or it gives me confidence, or I might... For me, I wanted to make more than my husband, you know? It was like a thing. Oh, I love it!
