So for example, when you see somebody who— I'm just going to use a peptide example because that's what I'm kind of into now. It's when they say I got fit because I have discipline. It sounds like, yeah, whatever, right? But when they say I got fit because of this peptide, because of this tool, then people are like, They kind of lean in, right? So maybe you're sick of saying, "I don't like talking about myself because it feels like bragging." Then don't brag for yourself, brag for your big idea. Be that big idea spokesperson.
