No, and the media, as we said, it's –

I think a good reality, and it actually put me back in the baseball world of shit's tough, and you're going to get knocked down.

You're going to fail.

But in baseball, failing 70% of the time is going to lead you to be one of the best players in the game.

That's a hell of a lot of failure, but I realized failure exists.

And you can't get comfortable.

With, um,

Wanting just, hey, it feels good when it goes right, but it's when things go wrong is where you learn the most.

And that's where I dug back into the baseball roots for me.

I didn't get discouraged when things didn't go wrong here in the media.

Because I can tell you what, Rob, this camera that I'm actually using right now was one of the first cameras I bought.

And I thought, you know what?

I'm at home.

I'm transitioning some of my equipment.

And so I'm looking at this camera right now, and I'm staring at it while I'm talking to you.

And it's the same camera when I watch back to one of my first videos I did two and a half years ago.

And some people will say, hey, it's not that bad.

But when I look at that, Ryan, I go, damn, you are a lot better than you were two and a half years ago.

And so whether it's failing, whether it's just observing, learning, that was the biggest thing I learned or experienced in this process.

And what I think is good, someone else might not think it's good.
