I'm just now getting onto my computer and logging in. The amount of DMs I have to respond to is unbelievable. Or when I was prepping my talk, there's like 3 college kids and they were just like, they were ripping apart my talk like next to me. They were like, ah, this talk is gonna be doom and gloom. The market sucks. Like, it's not gonna be a good talk. And like my talk actually is words of encouragement to people that the market's actually good and that you're not falling behind. It's really like an encouraging talk. And like, you know, like messages like, your statistics were encouraging, you know, energetic session, you gave me some great perspective, I appreciate your perspective and career growth in a fast-changing landscape, love the information you include on the slides. And then I have a bunch more DMs too I got to respond to. So just, just thankful. And again, just want to, just want to give words of encouragement. The market's hard, don't get me wrong. But the whole point of this talk is to encourage people to get out there, make friends, shake hands, and good things will happen.
