You know, you've you've basically said like, oh, well, it didn't work out.

But like, yeah, because I didn't really promote the thing.

Right.

You know, I didn't really give everything I had.

So like, yeah, it didn't work out.

Well, whatever.

Right.

It's like this self-protection that becomes self-rejection.

That was a big one for me to get through, to just realize that if I was going to go down, I had to go down truly swinging and push and give my all towards something that I really cared about and felt was really meaningful.

So you kind of got pushed and like the question pushed you to reassess on it.

Yeah, I've had similar experiences with like my experience with sort of like assuming diversification was the approach.

Like I would say...

for the three, four years leading up to this year, I was always like, oh, I'm going to be diversified.

I'm going to have my hand in like 30 different buckets.

And that's how I'm going to make sure that, you know, one of them is going to go well and things will go well.

And I've gotten pushed on that by several mentors who said something similar.

You know, it's like, it seems like you have your hand in a bunch of small, stupid stuff that you don't really care about.

And rather than just leaning into the couple things you do care about.

And it led me to,

a fairly painful, like one full year of like unwinding a bunch of things that I had my hand in that really made no sense.
