You know, you could have the best ride up ever, but that doesn't mean the, you know, the come down is going to be anything but Rocky, but like, you know, 99.9% entrepreneurs. go through major, major adversity at some period. And you know, sometimes the sector that you're in is the hottest thing in the world.

And you know, sometimes the sector that you're in is the hottest thing in the world.

And then other times, you know, nobody wants to touch it with the 10 foot pole, especially on the venture side. So ultimately the way that I've always looked at it is if you find the thing that is your key guy point, it allows you to keep going on regardless of what's going on around you.

And then the last thing that I think is really important, and this is, you know, when you asked me the first question, Ryan, like, do I regret you know, being in the professional world versus being an entrepreneur, as long as you're learning, you don't regret it. Right. But the big thing is like I see too often and I've been guilty of this myself.

Like I mentioned, hey, maybe if I just in two years of trading, I kind of got what I needed out of that and I would have been ready for the next thing. But I stayed for five. Right. And ultimately, I think I think that's so important, whether you're in a role and thinking about a promotion or at a company. Should I stay? Should I leave? Are you learning? Are you growing?

And if you're not, you should find something else.

And if you're not, you should find something else.

Totally. And that's really what the whole premise of the Yuki guy is. you know, framework means to say, like, if you found that thing, then you are going to put the time and the effort because you love it. You're great at it. You know, you're, you're inspired by it. Like all those things, like you can get, you can make money doing it. Right. That's, it's so important.

Well, I will tell you that those are the three that have stood the test of time. The other core values have been altered at different points, but those three along with run through walls, which is no longer a core value, but still like very much an ethos of Cameo are really the pillars upon which we built the company.

So the thing that's kind of cool, I mentioned there were like four kind of OG core values at Cameo. We have six now, but each one of the founders and then Arthur Leopold, who was our first employee founding COO, each one of us had kind of a value that we brought to the table that became the bedrock and foundation of our culture.

So starting with, you know, fight for simplicity, starting with Roll Out the Red Carpet.
