But the prioritization of work and what truly hard work looks like is different.

And I'm not saying it's right or wrong because I've tried to be progressive in different strokes for different folks because, look, if you don't want that and you aren't willing to work for it and you can accept less money so you can hire more people, then I guess that's okay.

But that's been the different rewiring that I see.

Our generation wasn't all the way maybe you and I are wired, but it seems like it was more of a percentage of at least my peers.

There's a lot of conveniences, technology and convenience and even AI and all this stuff is great.

I love it.

In some ways, it's made me more money with more efficiency because I can apply my own drive and initiative with these tools today and I get a lot more powerful.

The generations now, they have more conveniences and more things.

And so they don't get the calluses that maybe we did because they don't have to.

And so you almost have to generate false hardships to sort of challenge them.

It could literally become just about anything in a week.

And not because you're going to have the experience, but you'll have the knowledge.

Knowledge has gotten so cheap.

It's like, it's more now the experience and the creativity of applying it.

You have to have desire to apply it.

As we close out, I do want to hit on your book, Businesses with Perfect Imperfections.

What is that?

All right.

You wrote this one.

That's good.
