I think that's one of the most important, I think, skills for people in this day and age is like not being too fixated on kind of where you were or where you've been or what you've done before, but being really adaptable and open to kind of trying and exploring new things.

So that would probably be the one I'd focus on more than anything myself.

So before this role, I used to lead our AI research and development lab.

And I used to tell like a lot of scientists have this sort of identity of like being a scientist.

I'm like, I do science and like I don't do engineering.

Yeah.

And I can appreciate that.

Like, I think there's a lot of value in that.

But I tried particularly in our field, which is more of applied research than it is like academic research.

I've tried to instill into my teams like you're an engineer.

I don't care.

Front end, back end, you know, QA, science, not science.

Like you're an engineer and like engineers like engineer new ways of doing things like that's your job.

That's what you're trained to do.

I don't care if you're a mechanical engineer, a software engineer, a chemical engineer.

You're taught the same foundations of how to logic and intuit.

And you should use that skill.

And it will future-proof you to anything, quite honestly.

I'm a firm believer in that.

Excited about it.
