And so by getting clear on his values, getting clear on what he stood for,

he was able to make decisions like reimbursing all of the hosts that lost money during the pandemic.

Totally.

Like the business is hemorrhaging money and he's trying to make a choice to spend more money to foster goodwill amongst his hosts.

But the thing that getting clear on your values does is it allows you to stand by your decisions regardless of whether or not they work out.

And so one question I like to ask myself in these moments of a crossroad is what is a decision that I can be proud of, even if I don't get the outcome that I want?

Yeah, I forgot what movie it was.

It was some like Jennifer Aniston movie or something.

And they're like, okay, on three, we're going to say what we want from our relationship.

One, two, three.

And one person says, a divorce.

And the other says, like, to stay together.

That's sort of the worst case scenario.

But at least it allowed them to bring some intentionality into the decision as opposed to just doing something off the cuff.

I think it's biological.

You think about our ancestors.

If you are in the jungle and there's like a rustling in the bushes, you're reaching for a poisonous fruit that you're not sure, maybe it's poisonous, maybe it's not.

That uncertainty could potentially be lethal.

Unless you find out what's making that noise, fruit is edible, you can potentially be life or death.

Exactly.
