Yeah. But yes, I'm so happy. I mean, Richard's actually a great friend. I'm actually going to Switzerland this Friday with Richard and about 35 entrepreneurs from around the world. And we're doing a physical challenge through the Swiss Alps to raise money for education. And I'm not like my husband. I'm not this physical, you know, challenge person.

But I had had too much tequila when Richard asked me if I wanted to go. And I said, yes. And so now I'm going. I hate it when that happens. I'm slightly terrified. But we're going to swim, bike, and hike through Switzerland. And it starts with a glacier lake swim in a full body wetsuit.

That was so intense. There were so many things about that, but it took me 48 minutes to climb. It was a dangling rope ladder, so there was nothing anchoring it. So I spent the first 25 minutes of the climb just flailing around in the air. And then the last 20 minutes, I kept saying, just get to the balloon, get to the balloon.

But once I got to the balloon, the balloon was hot and the rope was very taut against the balloon. So I had nowhere to put my fingers anymore around the rungs of the ladder. So I'd use my fingertips. And then once I did the little T thing and was like, woo, that was great, I started bawling because I realized I had to climb down. Oh, my gosh. I was like, wait, how do we get down?

So we had to go back down the ladder. It sounds horrific. Yeah. Thank God you're here. Listen, I'm here, and what an experience.

Yeah, because we're on autopilot as human beings. I mean, think about it. Almost every single thing that we do, someone taught us how to do it or we observed how it was done. And so I like the space of closing your eyes and saying, if no one showed you how to do this, how would you do it? Like, would you be doing it differently?
