And so there have been times when, you know, I can think of a couple like in graduate school where there was one time where I was going to speak about the wonders of our school. And I really liked our school. I had like 20 ideas to talk about. But we had like 15 people, all students talking. And I was last. When it got to me, there was nothing to say. And I should have said, I love our school.

Everybody's covered everything. You know, if you have specific questions, come up and talk to me. And instead, I tried to ad lib just magically hoping something would come to my head. And it was just like my brain started talking to itself. You know, I was in that 3D space of trying to say things out the mouth while thinking. And it was the worst. So I'm not immune to it, you know.

I'm going to talk about this. Here's some points I can make. I don't have to make all of them. But, you know, something like that, that you can feel pretty if you feel comfortable about your plan and it doesn't feel overly convoluted, you'll usually do well. And I do that a lot for work meetings. Right. I don't have to cover everything. I don't hold myself to some high impossible standard.
