And so the going above it and just saying I'm responsible for my decisions, my life, and how do I navigate the things there that I can pull the levers of to who do I get, how do I do, how do I deal with those, and going above it in that calm way is really what it's about.

And when you do it well with others,

So you triangulate.

That's why I have the radical truthfulness and the radical transparency.

When you have that radical truthfulness and the radical transparency, you're triangulating with others.

You're going above it with them and you're just looking at that circumstance and you say, okay, well, we're in the same goal or are we?

And then how do I navigate those so that we get to where we want to go?

Because if you're forming your company, you've got your company.

We're on the same mission together, right?

So now let's all go above ourselves.

What are your strengths and weaknesses?

How do we get at what's true?

And how do we do that with transparency?

And that's it.

That hasn't happened before, really, if you look at the theme.

So when I take your particular case, I can digress into it, but I won't.

I'll come back to that in a second.

Almost everything that happens has happened many, many times before.

And just like I described, there's the hero's journey and there's this and that, there's that particular path, and the whole thing happens over and over again.

So my reaction to what you're saying is, yeah, that's absolutely right.
