You know, I don't think much about legacy. It's a big word for Marshall. I don't, not sure if I'm old enough yet to think about legacy, right, per se, but I do think about impact. And so for me, it's always about having impact on others. So I appreciate that, you know, you reached out to me because you knew me on LinkedIn. Mm-hmm. You know, I appreciate that. By the way, the reason I'm like, sure, I'll do your podcast is because you're so kind about constantly commenting on my posts on LinkedIn. And I thought, well, you're a really, You know, you're putting out good things in the world and you're putting out good energy. And I wanna be amplifying good energy. And so I guess I would say, I think much more about impact of people who I've touched. Mm-hmm. And that is very rewarding through my newsletter, through my book. It's really rewarding when someone you didn't know, you know, like your friends, you say, oh, they read their book, right? My boyfriend, oh, I read your book. You know, like, of course, right? But people who I don't know and they say, I read your book, it made me feel great, I loved it so much, it was like this and that. That's so meaningful, right? That I had an impact there and then on that person. Yeah. That's what I try to do. Powerful.
