So the fact that you were able to be a success your first year, go lose it, and then go back again and rebuild is amazing.

And I love to hear those type of stories.

It's real.

Yeah.

No, absolutely.

So Shelly, most people try to think positive, okay?

Or just push through fear.

Why doesn't that kind of surface change actually work?

I love that.

I love that.

I loved absolutely everything that you said because I'm such a big believer in environment.

What you listen to, what you see at a young age can dramatically affect your decision making as a teenager, as a young adult, as a man, as a woman, even in your marriage, even when you're dating.

I mean, it absolutely affects everything.

You know, when I finally got out of my career in law enforcement, I had to sell everything to move away because I knew that the people around me for the past decade were my people anymore.

And I had to level up and be around people who were more optimistic and be around people that were at a higher frequency than me because I wanted to be at a higher frequency.

There's a saying, and I'm pretty sure you agree with this, whether you believe that you can or you can't, you're absolutely right.

I appreciate that.

But no, like I said, I was very excited about this interview because everything that you're saying, I believe in it.

It's what I preach to every single person that I work with, even my wife.

I remind her on a consistent basis, hey, we are what we think.
