There's something so beautiful about that process and the cadence. And if we live putting ourselves in the flame, then we're not gonna be bullshitting ourselves all the time because there's this truth-telling modality.

But when things are hard, that's beautiful. That's the beginning. We want things to be hard. So the first thing is I think we want people to love the discomfort of being hard. It's hard. Everything worthwhile is hard. What have you done that's been interesting that hasn't been hard? Every time you get in an ice plunge, it's fucking hard. Like I cold plunge every day. I think you do too, right?

It's like you go foiling and you don't fall. That's a terrible day, man. Because you're not pushing your turns hard enough. You're not breaching enough. You're not ripping it around hard enough, right? Like, everyone finds these, it's like one thing that happens with investors, right?
