Fortitude. Just one word. Just keep fucking going. Just keep going. keep your head down, keep going. And then maybe another word, iteration, adaptation. I, just like you, my secret is like, I can kind of see around the corner for the most part. And when it's getting creepy, I can start to adapt and pivot quicker.
