But some people, they just want to go a step further, out past the edge of known. So we're kind of examining how I got to that place of being at the edge of known and then what's next for me. And that's really where I am in my life. That's really where I am in my parenting. It's really where I am in my business as well. Having taken the last 10 months to really figure things out, I know where I want to go. And, you know, we talked about it earlier. I've had these experiences of near collapse in my business. Near collapse, personally, personal struggles. I was that, you know, I was that dad who thought I was, you know, working hard for the family. I was doing everything for the family, and I wasn't present whatsoever. And that was a real problem. So I had to learn how to be more present at home and learn that winning at home is so much more important than winning at business. And I know there are people out there who are entrepreneurs, executives, leaders in some way that are just burning the candle so hard on the business front. They have no energy when they get home. And it doesn't have to be like that. You can be successful in business, and you can be very, very successful at home. So those are the people that I'd love to reach.
