And I remember this woman who worked in HR at the time saying,
She said to me, you know, everybody has peaks and valleys at work.
Like there's no such thing as like everybody being like happy all the time.
And she was like, so you're happy some of the time and you're less happy some of the time.
But the goal is obviously like more peaks than valleys and also that the valleys aren't super long.
And she looked at me and she goes, your valleys are getting longer and closer together, you know, which I think about a lot because it's like, you know, that's measurable.
I had a coach when I was sort of struggling with a job who said, you know, at the end of the day, I want you to go through every single meeting that you've sat in and rate it on a scale of 1 to 10 and do it for a week.
And it was like eye-opening because I had tens and ones, you know, sitting right next to each other.
And it mostly taught me a lot about the kind of things that do bring me energy.
But there's a lot of exercises you can do to kind of really ask yourself, like, what –
Are you uncomfortable?
Are you miserable?
How much like what is bringing you joy?
Can you do more of that?
Like that's that's something you can micro optimize as much as like needing to quit a job and go do a whole other thing.
So I got asked to take over this podcast.
And it's obviously just such an amazing podcast that's been, you know, Adam Grant has built over the last seven years with TED.
And a lot of people listen to it.
And when they first called me, they sort of said, you know, have you thought about podcasting?
And I was like, yes.
