And working with a client and a gentleman came up to me after and said his – and this gentleman was probably mid-50s – said his son who had just graduated college in Portland called him the night before and said very seriously, hey, Dad, I just read the greatest book. I'm going to send it to you. It's called The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. Yeah.

But we both started laughing because, to your point, the book's been around forever. But this young college grad was just finding it so empowering and so useful today. And so, yeah, it's a timeless classic, if you will, because it's based on principles of effectiveness.

And are we getting those things that are really going to move our lives or the lives of our team or our organization forward? And so it's the compass first, you know, the direction we're headed over the clock. Clock's important. Got to have deadlines, but let's make sure we're heading in the right direction first.
