Like that's how they use a filtering mechanism to see who's serious.

Yeah.

And my first book I wrote, Give Without Expectation of Reciprocation.

And if you can hold that idea in your head and just give, just give and give and give, you know, I mean, Gary V put jab, jab, jab, right hook to it.

I think the question people ask a lot of times is, well, what is a right hook?

Take all that out of it.

If you're giving and honestly giving, not giving as some sort of gimmick or hack or strategy, but honestly, you just want people to get better, the right hook takes care of itself.

It just does.

And every moment that I've forgotten that, I've struggled, every moment that I've embraced it has been the most high growth times of my entire life and the most fulfilling and rewarding.

I mean, so I do a lot of speaking.

Um, it's, it's the thing I love doing more than anything else.

Uh, and then it's the closest thing as an adult that I can get to being on a sports field is being on stage.

I love it.

Um, and it's, it's, you know, this is, this is contextual, but I, I, you know, I, I actually, um, I get a lot of comments about stage presence and people ask, you know, how do you so comfortable, et cetera.

And, um,

I actually attribute reffing basketball in large part to my ability to be on stage, because if you can manage a crowd, the players on the court, the players off the court, the coaches, the scoring table, and then all the other bedlam that is happening in the moment, and do a job in which there is no replay for, and every single time you inject yourself into the game, you are one, having an impact, and two, half the people are gonna hate you,

and you can manage that both emotionally and produce an outcome in which you didn't play a part in, you can go up on stage and the moment doesn't feel bigger because of what I, I honestly believe that reffing basketball is one of the few, we'll call them reffing or umpire official type sport.

It is so, guys, it's,

I know you love... The NCAA tournament's happening today when we record.

It's the first day of the NCAA tournament, if you don't count the playing games.
