And I think what you're saying, Mahmoud, just not to interrupt you, but I think it's such great advice because also there is an idea of what entrepreneurship is and running your own thing in your head versus the reality of it. So starting a side hustle is probably one of the greatest things you can do just to get a feel for it. Because sometimes you might think you want to be an entrepreneur, but actually it's not for you, right? It can be for you, but it might be like, no, actually I'm not, the type of person to run the business. I like to be a part of the business, right? It's different running a business, a whole entire company, versus having a role within the organization, right? And I think that's why you say that shifting from corporate to entrepreneurship and starting your own, it's always good to start to have the side hustle.
