you've gone through it, right?

But you're still ingesting, I'm assuming a lot of different content and reading stories and keeping up on the world.

Like how do you carve out reality?

Like what's a useful data point for me and growing my business or investing, et cetera, versus just the constant noise that we're bombarded with from all these different angles.

How do you avoid some of the societal or political traps that seemingly are set all over all over business today?

I had a friend who he was not the owner, but he was a

C-suite executive at a business with about just over 300 people.

And, you know, good guy, solid guy.

Probably, you know, I don't mean, you know, not to bring politics too much in, but probably just the center of the road type of guy.

You know what I mean?

Like, didn't really, wasn't very vocal on either side.

Just kind of lived his life.

And, uh, you know, he was part of a lot of meetings and we talked a lot about it during, especially during like the, the kind of major woke push of the 2000, 2020, 2022 of, and I'm sure there'll be another swing and there's right-wing versions of this.

So, so take that out.

But this, his particular case was all this stuff like around, you can't say this and, you know, we need to, you know, all these different things that

and this was the conversation they were having, you know, and again, for the audience, this is not a political statement, this is just the situation that he dealt with, was they were looking at some of these things, and I think morally they're going, yeah, we want people to be included, and yes, we want to be friendly to everybody, which I think everyone actually really wants.

No, I certainly do.

But

What is being pushed on us doesn't actually seem to align with where we're trying to go.

And then they made some decisions to placate different groups.
