Clarity equals power. Without clarity, we can't distinguish between opportunity or distraction. And leaders like you and me, we are constantly flooded with, like, all these opportunities, and sometimes we do the shiny object thing where we're chasing them all. So, like, in your case, you have this grounded perspective of 17 questions. While you were talking, I googled Tim Ferriss has a 17 questionnaire. Like, there's all these different questions, but it sounds like in this thought of, like, if I won the lottery, you were able to position yourself into more of like, a who, what, when, where, why? Like, you know, who do I want to spend more time with? Where do I want to be? What kind of impact do I want to make? And you. And by answering those questions, it helped encourage you to take this massive leap out of patient care into leadership at a tech company.
