What advice do you have for our program with that as far as consistency? Yeah. Let's just say day after day, dependability, like, it's trust. I mean, what you want is you want to trust each one of your teammates. The guy sitting next to you, the guy sitting behind you, the guy sitting across from you. You want to be able to trust that guy, okay, to do his job, and you want him to be able to trust you to do yours. So how do you get that? You talk about it. No, you earn it. You earn your teammates trust by your performance and your consistency every day. It's not being selfish. It's not like, what can they do for you? It's what can do for them. All right? You can't talk about it like, oh, yeah, I got your back. I got your back. I got your back. And then don't do all right. You got to earn that by doing something for your teammate every single day. And the first thing you have to do there is show your team that you're committed to the team. That's what a good teammate does. And you earn that trust through dependable performance. You earn it. Nobody can give it to you. You can't buy it. You can't, you know, talk about it. You got to go out there and earn it. It's a process, and it's day after day after day after.
