Do the work, do the HAARP thing, be the buffalo, which is, I'll do a quick tangent here where, you know, my dad told me cows run away from a storm on the horizon, buffaloes run right into it.

Like that, that to me from a business side is big. And then on the life side, which I think is even more important, and we talked a little bit about this, Sam, before the call, is success in life is being present. It's living in the moment. It's, it's easy I think especially, you know, I'm prone to this of on the business side, chasing success and achievement and all of that.

When my 6-year-old, 4-year-old, 1-year-old say, hey, Daddy, color with me, and I have a meeting to go to, it's saying, I'm gonna color with you. Like, let's be present. I'm putting my wife first.

And then in the business world, if you can do these things, be the buffalo, you can be successful.
