Appreciate the hell out of you, my man.

Open invitation anytime you want to come back.

What was the catalyst to create that reframe in your brain?

Because I think a lot of people never, they never reframe it the way that you did.

They get caught in this constant loop of hide my failures, overemphasize my success and try to chase more.

And that I think we both can say, and I would completely agree with you,

there's no happiness in that down that path.

Certainly no long-term happiness.

So what was, what was the catalyst for you to reframe that idea in your mind?

Well, I think your self-awareness and I'll say humility to actually step back and look at those things is incredibly admirable and something that I think we all should strive for because it comes in moments, right?

Maybe waves, right?

We have waves of self-awareness and waves where we're maybe a little filtered in our view, but

I do believe in having done this podcast for as long as I have and spend as much time with people, very people person too.

I think a lot of people struggle with this, right?

I did a TEDx talk back in February on status and the impact of status in our life.

And when I did my self-awareness journey, I could almost pinpoint decisions that I made based on the status that I thought I would accumulate from that decision versus the decisions that I made because that's what I wanted to do with my life and how it fit.

was literally green for when it wasn't based on status and red for when it was, almost to a T. And I think this is very difficult for us because the world is, you know,

Social media in particular, even if you're not there, still plays this role.

People look at you.

They expect things from you.
