What decisions were being made that took you from being a life that was going in the wrong direction to arguably your dream life.
I mean, a lot of great people, you know, just meeting the right people, being open enough to, like, really listen to what they had to offer and say, and, like, noticing, you know, hey, there's a different way, you know, so just, I think, yeah, just being me, to be honest, I think it's the same thing as always. It's like I'm just. No matter where I am, no matter who I'm working with, I'm just me. I don't try to be something different, you know, I don't try to act a certain way. Like, obviously, there's a time and place to act as. You know, there's appropriateness for certain environment or cultures. Outside of that, I mean, I'm just me. And so I've always been that way. You know, I've always been curious, very curious. I've always asked questions. Always not in an arrogant way or to sort of like, question what you're doing. More like, I really want to understand where you're coming from.
