So my first question, and you can feel free to ask this together or individually is what's something you've done recently that you're really proud of? Well, I guess this trip, we wanted to travel internationally together, and this is the first time, right?
Yeah. So I did take that as a U.S. army.
Pretty big thing for me, but I'm glad I made it.
Amazing. And so if you could also tell me, what do you think helps you reach that goal?
So for you to be a trip and then for you exiting the US army, what's the thing that helps you.
Him exiting the army? We weren't able to travel freely until.
Is there something you guys are looking forward to that you haven't done yet?
So, yeah, I got to go.
That I have at least for fun. So this is good comparing.
And what do you think helped you, like, besides the army and like, what do you think has helped you be able to do that where now you're just traveling and having a good time, you know, like where you feel you're able to do that? I think that we financially just make sure that we have enough money to.
Do that taking care of things at home.
I gotta go with the same thing financially, make it proper move to be able to afford to.
Amanda, if you guys had one piece of advice for the listeners on doing the thing. And the thing is, anything retiring from the army or traveling the world or whatever that thing is to you, what would be your.
I guess just do it. I don't know. Make a plan. Make sure you have everything in mind.
Don't hesitate. You know, the great content is study long, study long going into that. So don't hesitate. You want to do it.
So good. I love that. That is so great. Study. I want to remember exactly listen that study long, study wrong. So many people can get paralyzed by.
That's exactly it. Every. Every awesome thing that I've had happen in my life has been just made the play rather than wait. And I think that that, that says a lot about our future as well as most we're willing to move out, do the things that we think about.
