Yeah.
And the answer for me was Good Shepherd Lutheran College in Noosa.
And I don't think a lot of – I would get blank stares when I said that.
And that's no disrespect to Good Shepherd, but it wasn't – people wanted me to say Brisbane Grammar or whatever other private school is up there.
But it's been interesting to see the journey of all the kind of –
elite private school folks that I went through law with.
And then if I look at the backgrounds of the people that we fund now, they're from all kinds of places.
Like you kind of, I guess it's not about private or public school, rural or city living.
It's about does your upbringing create some imbalance in you that you feel the need to correct and sort of the greater the imbalance, the more you seek to correct it, the more that's where you get.
I think if you look across, you know, 100 people on average, there will just be one or two who are psychotically driven, competitive, kind of just have an internal force that
Others just don't.
That's how I see the world.
And you can find that force in a bunch of different places.
But generally it comes from a lack of something.
I think the strongest forces come from trying to fill a gap that maybe is impossible.
And I don't know, anyone who does a little bit of psychology and executive coaching will pretty much find what that thing is for them.
Not everything that you seek out is coming from a great place of sort of healthy balance.
I think imbalance is okay.
Um, and so I think part of what's growing up in it for me, a huge part of growing up in a rural area was just, I felt so out of place for my whole childhood and so embarrassed to be ambitious.
And so part of the joy in what I do now is making it okay for other people to be insanely ambitious.
