That was the overwhelming, for me anyways, amount of pressure that I felt in high school.

So you're almost conditioned from a young age to be more risk adverse and actually not be able to look at it through the lens that like what we do, where it's

It's learning experiences and it's exciting and that's what life is, in my opinion, meant to be about.

Challenging yourself, doing things differently, going against the grain, trying things that you've never done before to see whether or not you like it and learning and extracting the lessons along the way.

But I don't feel like a lot of people are wired like that because of the conditioning.

And I think that starts in high school.

Yeah, paint a picture.

Will you come back to your thought?

Yeah.

I actually wrote this down because I didn't want to butcher it.

When you think about, or if you're a person listening right now who is maybe in their mid-30s, mid-40s, and they think, or even in their early 30s, and they feel like it's too late for them, I just want to let you guys know that there are some incredible businesswomen who have had insane amounts of success in their life at a quote-unquote later age.

Vera Wang, for example, didn't start her business until she was aged 40, 4-0.

I don't know if I'm going to pronounce this name right, but Janine Ellis, who is the owner of Boost Juice in Australia, if you're an Australian girl, you'll know what that is, started her business at the age of 32 with very little business experience and now has over 600 stores across the country.

Now, 32 is not necessarily old, but it definitely is probably where people feel like it is too far gone for them to make a career pivot or get into something that they feel like they don't have quote unquote experience with.

That's so rando.

Yeah, I agree.

I have had...

A lot of career pivots too.

I went to uni.

I did a science degree.
