Areas that you know, you have to be an expert in, and you have to know areas you don't know. And getting the right expert experts around you, our level of, of consultants and vendors is just at a different level now than it's been at the start. You make a lot more healthy choices because you're onu.

Made the point. You're forced to. Right. You eat better food. You don't eat certain food. You exercise regularly.

You just stay on top of yourself. You got to manage your time better. A lot more demands on your time.

We're trying to get on your calendar so it becomes a level of discipline that becomes forced upon you. But I think it helps make you a better leader and a better example to your team. And we've got young families at home that at the end of a long day, whether it's a long day in business or a long day on the road, you know, they.

They require and deserve your energy when you get home. Yeah. So you have to make sure that you leave as much room in the tank for that as you leave on the field in the business day. So to be able to do something like this just requires a growth mindset.

ONU When I was Googling both of you for your Linkedins etc, I found your, your Instagram and you have a reel talking about being bad at something for a period of time and needing to become comfortable with being bad at things as, as part. For somebody who wants to grow.

Say more about your philosophy there. Well, kudos to you for, for investigating and searching the Instagram. But no, I think that's a, that's a, that's an incredibly important topic because in order to be good at anything, you have to be that first.
