Yeah, I mean, this is my first 25k meeting too, and the whole thing is a little overwhelming and awesome. I love the 10 minute talks, but then I also like the interaction in between stuff and you just pick up on subtle things. It's like my entire life is chaos. Like, I wake up in the morning, I don't have a schedule. I just go brains going off and 100,000 ideas. And I need to figure out a way to get the noise out of my head and focus and get on the straight path. And something as simple as what Brad said yesterday at the end of the day that he put, I was like, that's what the fuck I need to do. I need to do it every 10 minutes. I need an app for me to brain dump. You know, that wasn't your point of anything you were talking about. It's just something you do and something you said. And just when you're around people that have this much wisdom and this much experience, things like that come out. And that resonated with me and that was a huge help and a big takeaway.
