you get out of that sort of I'm proving myself phase and you have to really ask like, okay, what is my definition of success?
You know, and to your point about meaning and value, what matters to me?
Yeah, totally.
So this is something I experienced really intimately when I was I spent five years at Facebook and I spent the first two years in HR and recruiting, helping sort of.
figure out who we were and how we wanted to talk about why you should come work at the company and what kinds of people belonged.
And then I think I did well in that.
And so somebody came to me and said, do you want to come help me build a mobile phone?
And I was like, first of all, why are we doing that?
That sounds like a terrible idea.
But then second of all, I was like, why are you asking me?
Like, I'm highly, highly unqualified for this.
But then I was just kind of like one of those ideas I couldn't put away.
And I remember this conversation with a friend of mine where he said, like, you've proven you're really good in HR.
And these are like really big, like complicated company wide projects.
Why don't you go see how actually good you are?
And, and it was this like, oh, like, I'm gonna go figure out if I can do this.
And this was the moment, by the way, when the person, the guy that was trying to hire me and get me to come work on the phone drew the stairs for me.
And he was like, basically, it was him being like, you can be boring.
And stay on these stupid stairs or you can jump off a cliff with me.
So it was like that was his pitch.
