You.
Yeah, I want to help executives and coaches with their careers and also in the consulting side, help senior leaders get as much clarity about their organization and be able to feel confident that they really have a handle on what's going on in their organization and that they can, that'll help them decide, make decisions more confidently.
Yeah, I think, you know, I grew up in the game working for Theo Epstein, who had a sign on his door saying, you know, we don't know.
crap, I guess.
A little bit, right?
But so, that was the mentality is like, we always need to be getting better.
If we're not getting better, we're getting worse because other people around us are going to be trying to get better.
And so, you know, try to understand that we know less than we don't know.
And always be, if you always have that mindset, you know, it could be unhealthy that you're paranoid, worried what you're missing, but
I think that's better than thinking you got it all figured out.
And there are a lot of people I've been, you know, surprised my conversations with seniors, there are people that feel really confident that they, you know, got a handle on a lot of things.
I think that part of that comes with, you know, this exponential increase in the amount of information people have and,
they feel more convicted and all these things, but this game's really too hard and the decisions they're making are definitely not formulaic.
So it is really difficult.
You're dealing with people, not a deck of cards is what I always say.
So yeah, no, it's challenging.
And I think that is the right mindset.
even way back then 2003 2003 right i mean yeah right 2003 2005 the mindset and i think in some ways you could say well it's easy to be that way everyone's in their 20s right so like you should realize that you you know there's a lot of fresh faces at the time and you know theo been in the game for 10 years but still only 28 right so but to have that mindset and go into it that
And then maintain that through success was really important.
And obviously you get humbled quickly when you make mistakes in this game with contracts that you give to free agents and they don't work out.
