One thing that I find interesting. You know, I've had this conversation before with producers. I've had people say this to me. I'm afraid to make too many changes because I'm afraid. I'm afraid of what it's going to look like in my resume. In my view on this, and I know it might not be the popular view, is whenever I hear that, I say, listen, let me ask you a question. If you're a sports fan, could we argue a guy like Nick Saban is the greatest college football coach ever? Yeah. Okay. How many jobs did he have before he became the head coach at Alabama? If you go look at his resume, he probably had 12 different coaching stops before he became the greatest college football coach anybody has ever seen. And I say that I share that because I'm like, listen, if every move you're making in your head is a move that gets you closer to where you can achieve your greatest success, honestly, I don't care how many changes you make to make that happen. But don't be afraid to make a move if you're too afraid of what it will look like on the resume. If it's a move you think that's going to get you closer to optimizing your full potential.
