So kind of looking back, like when you were like in school and like you were kind of around like 20, 21, what was something like looking back, what was something that you wish you knew?
Hmm, what do I wish I knew? Okay, looking back, I wish that I knew that failure was gonna happen. I wish I knew I was gonna take jobs that I didn't love and things that I didn't expect to happen were gonna happen, and that was okay, and that in the end I would come out of it totally fine and actually better because I did make a lot of friends in those little jobs that I didn't love so much or experiences that weren't great, and they did serve a purpose in my entire career. I wish I had known that.
