But I was hoping you might go back

to your 28 year old self, the one who somehow got into one of the first internet companies.

And when you think about change and how you embrace that or how you need to think about life, like what advice do you give to kids that are this age?

Yeah.

As you were talking about that, for some reason, my mind went to Garth Brooks and I'm thinking about the music video where the challenger accident is playing in the background.

And sometimes would you really want to know the future?

Because you would live your life completely differently.

One of the things, Eric, I wanted to make sure we covered was the third part of your book and you move into something that you call the gift of being.

What does the gift of being mean for a listener in practical terms?

So I wanted to go into this state of being because one of the things, especially when I'm in the dungeon of writing a book and that stress is I tend to not be as present as I should be with those who are, who are most meaningful in my life.

And I wanted to go back to your renew formula.

So

I think so many of us are drifting away from connection more and more.

So if you want to

Well, I think you, you did a great job explaining it.

And Eric, I wanted to, as we get close to closing and we've talked a lot

about many different topics from the book today.

But when I think about the arc of what we went through, we talked about the importance of small actions.

We talked about self-awareness, self-compassion, kind of forgiveness, renewal.

As someone goes through this whole framework that's in the book, what's the first real shift that a listener would notice if they started applying this in their life?
