A little bit about Never Enough as a teacher title. So it's provocative. Most folks, I would assume when they think never enough, there's a negative connotation, oh, I'm never going to be enough. It's never going to be enough, Never enough. And you speak to this and also say, look, it's not a negative thing. It's almost like this positive light on Never Enough. Can you share a little bit more context on that?
I'd love to. So I think it's really important to live in two worlds at once. And the most important world is to constantly be striving for improvement and more contribution, more meaning, more impact, more happiness and whatever it is that motivates each individual. How do we a know what that is for our lives and the lives of our immediate friends and family and neighbors and colleagues, etc. And so that we can help each other be and have more of whatever that is. You know, everybody's got unique gifts and abilities and skills and interests and so how do we first understand what it is that drives people and gets them more of that? The thing that the mindset really has to be to lean into those hard things and to learn. And the more we build our foundation, the more we can give and help others. And that is what Never Enough really is about. It's about giving and pulling others up.
