of transition that he's that he's that he's going through and I was like hey let's talk about that because

what I mean at the end of the day kind of like everyone's well I don't know about everyone but

most people come to trading because maybe they're bored with their job maybe they don't

like their job maybe they're just kind of looking for something

else or, or heck, maybe they like their job. They're just looking for that kind of next phase.
