Yeah. And that's because the word alignment has shown up a lot on this podcast especially. And it's very interesting because I've done a lot of interviews around leadership, specifically in different roles, you know, in different areas, and it is so important. That is like, one of the key pieces of being a great leader is, are you in alignment with your values? First, do you know what your values are? Not what they should be, not what you're going to put on the wall and then forget about. Do you know what your values are? Can you identify them? Then can you speak them out loud without embarrassment? These are my values. This is what I stand for.
