So I think that's a great framing. It was the, what I should have done, I was afraid of setting myself, I was afraid of not having that kind of support. I was afraid of not knowing what to do without this person. I was afraid that I wasn't smart enough or didn't know how to navigate this industry without this person that's by my side.

And what I should have done is just, it's like, it's like, it's like when you're sitting on the couch and you're overweight and all you do is watch TV and eating ice cream for every meal. At some point you go, I gotta get into shape. And you make the decision to get into shape. And the thing you didn't expect is how much it hurts. Painful. How much it hurts to start getting into shape.

Once you start, it gets easier. But to start to get into shape really hurts. And I think I sat on that couch fearing the pain of getting extracted from this. And if I had to do it all over again, I would put myself in the pain and I would go ask somebody else for help.

I think this opens up whole can of worms that my ex-girlfriend would say is the problem. I'm too, I'm too in my head. I think you just solved all the problems. What makes my heart hurt?

I hate, I don't like bullies. I was never bullied as a kid. So it's not like, it's not some childhood thing. I just don't like it when the strong pick on the weak. Um, that doesn't mean they have to help them, but they don't have to pick on them, you know? And like, I've been in meetings where somebody is being a bully and I know, I know what it is. They're insecure. They're a bit compensating.

Maybe we bullied themselves. You're supposed to show some empathy. I can't. It really upsets me. I'd be like, why don't we let somebody else talk now, Steve? All right, thank you, Julie. I think Lewis is trying to say something. I kind of help myself. You care about fairness. I care about fairness. I think it's an ADHD thing.

Somebody told me that ADHD kids have an over-exaggerated sense of fairness. Interesting. Yeah.

I trust my gut. I mean, with the one exception that I'm telling you about, I'm pretty good at trusting my gut. And it might take me a couple iterations to be able to articulate it or figure out how to say it to other people, but I'm pretty good at trusting my gut. It's not always right, but you know, it's done me okay.
