consistency over intensity. That's the foundation of everything. Like, anyone wants to be successful in anything, it's not about the intensity of your efforts. Like, you're not gonna make it if you're just like, I'm gonna put in 14 hours a day. You're gonna burn yourself out in like 4 months.

Before, because they're, they're too intense, too intense. And I was like the intensity king. I'd just be like going way too hard, bro. Yeah, yeah, right. And I touched that ceiling of burnout. I was way too extreme with things like extreme work and then you'd have to swing back the other way and you wouldn't want to work for a week. So I had to kind of find— the Buddhists, they call it the Tao or the middle way. But you need to be more balanced in your dealings.
