It's just if you're putting on this position or posturing yourself as somebody who doesn't need the help, then they can't help you.

And then again, you leave the situation empty.

Thinking that, you know, talking to people is a waste of time because you didn't get anything out of it is like, well, you weren't even open to receiving anything because you were trying to make yourself sound awesome when you're objectively not awesome yet.

You know, like at least at that thing that you're trying to be awesome at.

Right.

So not to say that you're not worth anything or you're not awesome as a person.

I'm sure that's probably all true.

But if you come into the situation with this high ego and you're constantly posturing and positioning yourself to be this person that you are not yet, right.

It's first of all, not going to allow you to learn anything.

And then second of all, that person's going to see right through it because they were just backstage with all the other people who are actually awesome at what they do.

And that's not the type of communication that they have with each other.

They're all eager and willing and open to learn from each other.

That's why they're in the position that they're in.

So I saw that early on, man.

It was a big blessing in disguise because...

It just taught me that authenticity was going to be rewarded.

I'm not here to make myself sound better than I am.

I'm just here to learn as much as I possibly can and see if there's any potential way that I could bring some some sort of value to this relationship.

Exactly.

Yeah, it's definitely going to take more time.
