Thank you so much.

Thank you.

We're going to take as many questions as we can fit into 30 minutes because I know you all

appreciate short episodes.

So you can, you know,

listen to them on your walk or on your commute. So bring on the questions. Who wants to start?

Okay. Here we go. Okay. My question is, why are you so awesome? But other than that, what have you done or how have you overcome mental obstacles to reach your dreams?

So anything that's like, oh, I'm afraid to do that. Like, how have you changed that mindset to achieve your dreams? You know what? I haven't changed the mindset. I just have committed to do it anyway. Like, I have been terrified of pretty

much everything I've ever done, but I was committed to not letting fear stop me from reaching my

goals. So the fear goes away after I made the commitment to

do things anyway. And I think that's a mistake that a lot of people make is waiting until like,

okay, I've got to feel confident to do this. No, you don't. You just do it, and that's how you

build the confidence. Great question.
