But when I give myself... If I surround myself with people who are just telling me everything's wrong and everything sucks, then I also can't cheerlead myself or my team. I think it's a huge one.
Absolutely. I think that's a really hard line to manage. I guess some people get mixed up with they read stuff online about being more combative and saying what you mean and all of this kind of stuff. but they're not thinking about the fact that a huge amount of things in the world work just because people are excited about doing them and people are motivated to do them.

And yeah, I have that problem when I'm also talking to my team and giving my team feedback and Laura Laura, who I run AJ and Smart with, she's told me I do this where my team will present something to me and I'm like, I don't like this, I don't like this, and I don't like this. And then she's like, yeah, but then they're not excited to do it.
