I look back at some of the episodes and I thought, wow, dude, you're it, man.

I'm like, holy hell.

No wonder.

No wonder you were at where you were at because you just weren't ready.

But I just I stayed delusionally optimistic about everything.

my abilities to have conversations.

And I remember when I first started, I would literally be talking to somebody and they would go off on a, you know, two to five minute monologue.

And I'm like, Oh shit, what, what, what are we talking about?

Like I had to get so good at it.

Right.

Because in conversations, like there's conversations that, that flow very nicely like this, but then there's conversations that I have to like reach in and pull and carry the whole time.

And it took a lot of work.

It took a lot of skill.

And my whole point of this is the skill that I had to refine.

Obviously, I think that I was born, you know, a good conversationalist.

And then learning how to continue to enhance that and make that better and turn the dial up is what I really had to get good at.

But the reason I'm saying this right now is that if you're in your 40s or in your 50s and you're still searching for something, it's not too late.

You can still pivot.

You can still have the next great big idea.

And worst case, at least you're doing something that you love.
