I think it's funny because when we're in our 20s, we're in that warrior state and our ego gets the best of us. Oh yeah. Right. And you could say it's narcissism or whatever the case. I think it is. It's just, we just didn't identify it. Now getting older, having kids, we are naturally having to step into a leadership role no matter what, 'cause you're leading your family now at this point. And that's the most important thing. Yeah. And in order to lead, you have to be able to follow. And so how are you gonna follow? Well, you have to bring down your ego to do so. So identifying that and figuring out ways, and for me it's a higher power. Obviously I follow Jesus Christ, I follow God, and that for me was allowed me to be a better leader because I'm now I'm leading through service. Yeah. As opposed to for my own self-accomplishment.
