Now you know that this could be shaping up to be a trend over time.

You look at industrial demand in the country and you're reading the research reports from 20 different analysts who have spoken to hundreds of people to get to these analyst reports and you start seeing the same theme or trend that is going on in the information, then you actually start thinking about it a bit differently in terms of that becomes a signal as opposed to you heard it once where it might not be as big of an impactful area.

and the other thing i do is also i do every morning i spend about 15 minutes to 30 minutes as i usually get myself in a call in a calm place and i think about every decision or every aspect of things i'm going to do for the day and i inform it based on what i read over the weeks over the weeks prior with this within the company or outside of the company

And I just let my mind race through all the plausible outcomes.

So it's almost like a decision tree.

If you play chess, you can look at about when you play chess, you're always thinking about if I move this piece, what are the next three pieces or next move, next move, next move.

And then how deep you go effectively, the more you train your brain to do it, you can actually do it in a more effective way.

So then I use that information where you're synthesizing all of it and you're looking at what you're doing and you're trying to figure out what is it for me.

spanning three perspectives, each path, what does it lead to and how you're now using that information to somehow apply it to a problem you're trying to solve or something that you're seeing in your day-to-day life.

Where did you learn that?

Not a specific place.

I think it was more over the years as something I started doing and I found it helped me solve problems early on.

And I think it's just became something I do every single morning.

So it's all of the above.

So usually I start by thinking through as a company, what are the things that we are dealing with?

What are the things I'm worried about?

What are the things that are effectively could somehow impact our business?

Number two, I think about all the material I read the prior day or the prior week, and what are some of the key takeaways that I'm seeing in that trend of data.

But then it's something fascinating, Shane, a lot of time when people think

they use speech to think.
