And I love how it's, you need to talk about something that's concrete and preferably something you're working on. So it's not like the, my... My weakness is I'm just too honest or, you know, I'm too much of a hard worker sometimes. Like you try and use it as a compliment. I think that can definitely go wrong. I'm a perfectionist. Yeah, I just do everything perfectly. That's all you're saying.
But if you can put it in terms of, like you said, I have a hard time delegating sometimes, or I occasionally try to work too fast, and that might cause me to miss a few things. I think that what I also take away from this, Aaron, is when you can have that moment of honesty to say, it's not necessarily my weakness, but this is a thing I'm working on.

Yeah. I think that's a great point. And see, so I have a law firm and we have about 15 people. And then I also, most people don't know this, but I also have a restaurant and a coffee shop. No, no way. And so, yeah, I've had it for, I think, six years now. Oh my gosh.

I don't know, Erin. Don't ask me.

And I got kids and a wife and a family and everybody. And so, yeah, the... I've hired a lot of people. That being said, and I've also had to let go of many people.

and then later on finding out, oh, they're not really who they said that they were. So if somebody can admit up front the thing that they're working on, so if it's working on slowing down my pace, I'm working on paying more attention to detail, I'm paying attention to how sometimes maybe I'm a little bit too blunt, maybe I'm too direct. I think those are all things that are natural and normal.

I go, oh, okay, very cool. Well, now it also informs me how to interact with you and how you, some people like to be, need to be kind of coddled in a way, like to have the, you need to kind of hold their hand. And some people, they need the, they need the tough love.
