And you just, you took the words right out of my mouth, man. I would define purpose, a term we've used many times here, as being a part of something bigger than yourself that creates impact on others. And that's the difference between passion and purpose. Passion is for me. I love what I get to do. Purpose has to be, by definition, to impact somebody else.

So purpose is for you or for them or for him or for her. Passion is for me, purpose is for you. But when you wield those two together, you become a very dangerous asset. very capable individual. And to be clear, the little story you just shared is that epiphany to me actually happened while I was in the process of earning my way back to the team.

I was about 25% through what would end up being about 12, 13 weeks. And I was cranking out these tests and assessments. I was like five, six different seven tests in. All the confidence, these guys can throw anything at me and I'm going to dominate. And that epiphany hit me in the middle of the night. with all this momentum and it just stopped me dead in my tracks.

It was like, boom, like brick wall. And went in, talked to the guys and their response was, hey man, we've talked about this like a dozen times. We don't know if this is going to work. We don't know if you're going to be an asset back here, but we want to be the ones to figure that out. So if you're able to make it back here by some miracle,

You know, this is them talking to me, you know that there is no room in this team for a liability. In this business, it is that black and white. You're either an asset or you're a liability, and that's it. You either meet the standard or you don't, and that's it. It's very cut and dry. Them talking to me, you know that that's how this business operates. Yeah, man, I know.

You understand that, Nick, right? Yes, I do. Cool. You stay on target. You focus on what needs to happen. We'll handle the objectivity. We'll handle the logic.
