We had some really good flights, especially on the third year when you're pretty experienced, but there's never a perfect flight. And just having that expectation set that this is what we do every time we're going to look at this. And it doesn't matter who you are on the team, whether you're the boss leading it or you're the person that's your first year.

The expectation is you admit the mistakes you made And we all look at how we can get better from them. So there's this huge level of humility that's built in that I think is people don't expect after they see Hollywood's portrayal of fighter pilots.

That's so powerful, that level of accountability and whether that be in business or flying a jet, right? Like just introducing that really high standard. And like you said, it's offering up humility because we all make mistakes. We're going to make mistakes every day, but let's embrace them. Let's roll that tape again and see how we can get better.

And as you know, now that I'm sure you're doing a lot of speeches, I often watch back my speeches, which I'm sure you do now that you're describing this right to like roll back that tape.
