Can you share with us a life hack or a work hack that you have found that helped you be more productive, more yourself, whatever it is, but just some sort of hack that's helped you along the way in your career?

So I've been thinking, like, you know, ever since we had the conversation about coming out here, I was like, what do I really want to share about what it is I'm out there in the world doing? So I've been like, taking notes every time something pops into my head. This morning I came across this program called Natural Reader. And you can put text into it and it will read the text back to you. And I just started.

This is your first time on the Internet.

Have you heard of this program?

No, but there's like a thousand things that.

I didn't know this.

Yeah. How long have you been.

I mean, I have audio books, but not something that would read my own text.

No, I've never.

Not to shit on your life hack here, but your hack is a program that reads you your text back book. So you're an oral learner. You can.

I'm an oral learner, yeah. I want to really ingrain these things I've been writing, actually, you know, I didn't get to, like, I'm getting, like.

I'm realizing what an asshole I am. I'd like to label this. Like, to label. This is not the kind of person I want to be. I know this is not a leader I want to be because as you're saying it, I'm like, I could benefit from that because I take copious notes and then I forget them. But if I could have them read back to me because I learned by talking. If I could have my own notes read back to me.

I spent an hour in the bathroom every morning getting ready. And so I usually listen to audiobooks, but I could be listening to my notes just to prepare myself for whether it's Q and A, something like this. I sent my partner a note like, guess what? I just figured out that's a good hack.

In the span of 30 seconds, I've completely come around. Thank you.
