Yeah, yeah.

Actually, I really enjoy it.

I know, but aren't you the video guy?

Well, I am, but I'm a video guy today who actually speaks.

And I almost found myself having to explain myself to other people.

And I had to almost have this live rebrand.

I'm not talking about colored fonts.

I'm talking about...

I had to actually step outside of a lane that people had grown accustomed to me being in.

You see, everyone didn't agree that I should be a speaker.

It wasn't something that made sense to them.

But at some point, I had to make a decision that I was not going to let old categories define my future capacity.

It's interesting.

More recently, I wrote a book called How to Work with Complicated People.

And a leader looked at me and said one day, he said, why in the world would I want my employees to read a book about complicated people?

I said, hey, man, you actually don't have to.

Maybe the book's not for you.

I don't think every book's for every person.

It is what it is.

And I said, but hey, if you happen to work with some complicated people, well, then you know what?
