I'll give you a real life example. So one of my friends from Harvard Business School is now a CEO of a company that every single person watching or listening to this knows the company. And he told me 12 years ago that he really wanted to write a children's book. And he told me about it, and he was at the head. He was the CEO of this company at the time, right? And so every single time I've talked to him for the last 12 years, I've. Even if I haven't said it out loud, I've been thinking, I want him to be able to write that children's book. I want. You know, that's this thing that was a dream of his that I want him to be able to do. And we talked about two weeks ago, and I said, you know, I still want to get you to write that children's book. And you're in a position, if you need to, to hire a ghostwriter and an illustrator and all that stuff. He said, steve, or stop. I'm like, what? He said. He said, I wanted to write a children's book because my kids were 12. My kids are now in their mid-20s.
