That's the goal that we need to do every day. Get a little bit better. Get a little bit better. The word genius is kind of intimidating, isn't it? Because there's a lot of dumb people in genius Network. And I mean that with the sincerity and love, because we're dumb until we're not anymore. Every time I learn something, there's five more things that I was aware of now that I didn't know before that I needed to learn. Every time I learn something, I learn that I need to learn more things. So the people that get the most value out of genius are the people who approach it with the least amount of knowledge, saying, what don't I know? What do I need to know? How would I know when I know it? How would I know when I wouldn't know it? Right. I cannot walk into the room without shifting my experience.
