I read it four times.

I was very skeptical at the beginning because not about me.

I'm like, why is anybody going to listen to anything that I have to say?

And then the more I read it, the more I was like, oh, like I really agree with all of this.

And it made me really proud.

You're fine.

Yeah.

Double twisting.

One, two, one, two.

On the floor.

Yeah.

I write a story at the very beginning that says basically the first time I landed this move, which is a-

You're spinning two full circles and flipping two full circles at the same time before you ever touch the ground.

The first time I landed that, I basically go on to explain, it's not that I just landed a skill for the first time that day.

It's the accumulation of 10 years of work.

And you can't just go into a gym and learn that skill.

You have to learn a thousand skills that kind of like progress into it.

And so...

I write in the book, basically, it's like the compounding of those years brought me to this moment.

And it's hard to explain that to.
