Like I'm able to build creatively with people that inspire me and that I want to see do really well.

And I think that in all of its forms, you know, I, I think, uh,

career trajectories are a lot like parabolas.

And so to assume that there's just going to be an upward slope for the rest of your life isn't just unrealistic.

It just, it breeds a sort of like dissatisfaction and unhappiness over time.

And so I think that knowing that if these are all of my sort of like pillars and they're all being upheld all the time,

then that is success.

You know, there are things that I want to do as far as like sustainable systems that I'm a long ways away from being able to achieve.

I would need more money and I would need the right partnerships and I would need... You mean environmentally when you say sustainable systems?

Environmentally and just community-wise.

Like I think that

it is great.

And one thing I'm learning is once again, like the practice is practice for the practice, you know?

And so one of the things that we're doing with Flowers where we partner with these organizations, it is an in and out thing.

We get to be with them for a day and hopefully help boost them as much as possible, bring as much awareness as possible.

But I would like to

be able to identify and build systems to where long after I'm gone, this thing that I left behind is still going.

Maybe it is creating a farm that

That directs all of its crops or most of its crops right to a pantry and then having maybe that pantry sell one item and then that one item is the money that goes back to the farm for the next crop, you know, just things that things that start to close the loop.

Yeah.
