And because there's a familiarity aspect to it as well, like the ownership of certain areas, I don't know.

Reflecting on 2025 & Looking Ahead to 2026: Did Seamus Hit His Goals?

Yeah, they're not really clearly defined.

And then when you add third parties into the mix as well, I imagine from their side, if we're not exactly aligned on everything that we do and sometimes Stephen's asking for something and sometimes I'm asking for something, it would make that challenging as well.

But we know each other so intricately that I know –

Reflecting on 2025 & Looking Ahead to 2026: Did Seamus Hit His Goals?

I mean, Stephen loves calling me, I guess, like the sweeper that comes in behind and kind of tidies things up and, you know, ops guy is kind of my strength or what I like to say is my strength.

Reflecting on 2025 & Looking Ahead to 2026: Did Seamus Hit His Goals?

So I do do that.

But then you've got to let go of some of that stuff too to allow yourself to do the other parts of the business.

Reflecting on 2025 & Looking Ahead to 2026: Did Seamus Hit His Goals?

Yeah, but it's like one of those ones when like different all-black captains, they describe them as different leaders.

Reflecting on 2025 & Looking Ahead to 2026: Did Seamus Hit His Goals?

So yes, I do.

But I would probably describe myself as a lead by example rather than a lead by example.

Between Two Beers Podcast
Reflecting on 2025 & Looking Ahead to 2026: Did Seamus Hit His Goals?

shouting from the rooftops or being really, like I've always wanted, the way I have led when I have been a leader of small teams is to get people alongside so that you're all kind of pulling in the same direction and trying to explain the reasons why we do things versus do this.
