I love engineering.

I did not need to learn finance.

Like, it wasn't my first, you know, like, kind of had to do it.

I'm probably a company CEO and also, like, just, like, a lot.

There's a lot.

The cool thing about a job is, like, it's super high expectations, right?

Like, in terms of the range, which is perfect because I like building range.

But I had to learn how to trick myself into wanting to learn things because, as anyone with authority problems can attest to,

I cannot just go learn stuff because someone taught me.

I can only learn the solutions to problems I've had.

And so I need to go and figure out how to construct the problem environment for myself or at least make it a story I want to explore deeper by tinkering with it or something.

So anyway, I've learned how to trick my own brain to do it.

And it's been really important.

And with the kids, it's just as fun.

Totally.

I mean, also, don't get me wrong.

I'm also, like, plenty of grateful for exposing the bullshit, too.

It's just, like, we need, like...

it's more automatically viral.

And so if everyone starts only exposing the stuff that's wrong, we actually forget what's going right.
