I was listening to a podcast earlier today about this girl who just said, you know, she would prefer boldness, being bold over intelligence. She says it's both important, but bold people, they just go for it. They take action, right? Just like you're saying. And intelligent— not saying that you can't be both, but intelligent people like to think about it, analyze. But the people who are bold that just go out and do it, they sometimes accomplish more because they're like, I gotta go learn. And, um, having a mentor— take— I've done— taken a lot of coaching. They don't really make you do the actions. They kind of guide you and kind of coach you along the way, but you got to go do it. You got to go swim.
