And something that's really interesting in that vein that I want to come back to is how interesting people pleasers actually are. But he says to me all the time, well, you know, I just got lucky, right? I just got lucky. It couldn't have been the 25 years of toil, right?

I don't know that I'll ever actually recover from this.

I think this is just a thing that I do. It's like everybody has their thing that they have to deal with in life. And if you listen to whatever personal growth literature that you may tend to absorb, but my very favorite one is Scott Peck. He started with the line, life is difficult.
