Yeah, totally.

Yeah, totally.

You can read the same thing again and again and again. And I'm like, it's not coming in. And then tomorrow morning you read it and I'm like, oh, that was so easy.

Well, there's a beautiful saying, and I know I'm going to butcher the quote, and I don't know who said it, but it's something along the lines of, you can have a thousand problems, but once you have a health issue, you have only one problem.

It's such a wake-up call because you're right. That's the first thing that we always neglect as high achievers, workaholics. And the truth is, you bring such a great point because I used to have a boss way back in Intel that literally awarded people if they stayed until four in the morning, five in the morning. That was an award. And I was always embarrassed that around 2 a.m.

I got so freaking tired that I had to duck so that nobody will see I need to drive home. And, you know, I remember that embarrassment of what a wuss. How am I like at 2 a.m. like going home? It's like, dude, that's freaking 2 a.m. Like, why am I embarrassed about it? But I think there was this notion of you will not be able to be successful if you don't grind.

And I think a big thing of what you're doing, and I love that, is you're showing us that it's possible. And we'll talk about full focus in a second, but you're showing us that it's possible. Not only that it's possible, in fact, you will actually do better. You will be more intentional.

You'll be more successful if you take some time to yourself and you put the boundaries and you do this right way. And it's about working smart, not just hard.

Oh, I love that. Oh, my God. I think the listeners need to hear this because you put these boundaries. You had a coach. You put the boundaries. We'll talk about how exactly this all happened. But then you become a CEO at, what, 2005? That's right. So what do you think are some of these pivotal decisions that you made that made this and brought you to be a CEO?

And then I do want to take a little bit about what it actually takes to be a CEO.

That's such a beautiful sentence. That's a choice. I met John Maxwell recently and some crews we were on, and he's an incredible person. Listeners, if you haven't checked him out, great author and great speaker too. But one of the things, and we do have a president's club in Leap Academy as well for people who are like C-suite and they create a mastermind.
