So what was your key takeaway from the conversation with Mike?

Yeah, I couldn't agree more, Johnny, with that thought process as you're walking along, walking to the shops or whatever you're doing. And you think I think a lot of what Mike shared with us is so applicable in a business context, but also in a personal context. I think that was the key thing for me. And I asked him about about balance.

And I think that was a key takeaway for me is

Not seeing, not trying to search for this mystical balance that never exists, but just to think about the different polarities and understand and see that. So I think that was really interesting and probably my key takeaway from the conversation.

And I think what Mike shared with us across the board really touched on some critical things in leadership and management and organizational structure and everything we think about. what we're trying to do to drive our teams towards effectiveness, what we're trying to do to create a real sort of supportive culture within our business that drives the outcomes that we want.

And he shared a lot of really insightful bits around that, around focusing on the team's mental being, thinking about employee engagement and thinking about how important those relationships are with your employees first to drive the right relationships with your customers. So thanks again, Mike, for joining us and to everybody listening out there.
