To me, it comes back to, and this is, you know, in your work, and I was diving into some of the articles you wrote and stuff, and I feel like we're aligned here, but I really want to get your ideas.

Like, so much of what I teach is just ego, literally.

When I'm talking to people, it's about removing ego.

My TED Talk that I did was 100% about how ego impacts our ability to lead, and we are –

we have almost no education on how to deal with our own ego.

And so much of this comes back to, do you agree with that premise that ego is a big part of it?

And I actually had a, I got into a debate about this the other day.

I was keynoting and then I was talking to a few people afterwards and I brought up this idea of ego on stage because again, it's a lot of the work that I do.

And someone, you know, someone brought a really interesting point to me and I, and I, and I, I responded, but the more I think about it, I'm just not exactly sure where I, where my head is at yet.

So I'm gonna put it to you.

So they came up to me and they said, appreciate everything you said, whatever.

Amazing job because I'm an amazing keynote speaker.

Yes.

I have my show.

I can say whatever I want.

Yes, of course.

I'm sure you have.

But they came up to me and they said, you know, whatever.

But, but, right?

I got the but, which is my favorite type of post-talk comment is when the but comes.
