how you compete with yourself is actually fun and it engages you more. And I'm a big, I'm really big into gamifying. I like gamifying everything I do because it makes it more interesting.

Right. So I gamify competition with myself on all levels.

But you collaborate with others. Yes. I mean, collaboration is part of this competition. Tell me more about that. Yeah. So like, like to be, to be more like, like at the end of the day, I think one of my goals is just one of my consistent goals. I don't, I don't say it out loud. It's like unconscious.

You know, if I like go to Australia, I'm like booking myself in the studio. You know, whether it's not, you know, I remember I did that. I worked with Trippie Redd there, but I didn't.
