There's a book out there, too, that I love that I just read. 10x is better than 2x. You heard that one? I haven't got it so good. So it really summarizes exactly the thinking, right? 10x is better than 2x. And the the way that I look at that is is as a dj, right? I ended up in the middle of playing for these huge events. I had to get better at my craft because I luckily fell into this position where I was just playing on big stages very quickly. And that's also happened in my podcast company, too. Actually, now that I'm thinking about a pattern, I end up getting on big stages, playing for big people, doing big things really fast, and then I have to kind of work backwards and build the skill sets up a little bit to be like, okay, I can do this.
