0:18.1	Cassie, what's something that comes naturally to you?
1:11.3	So it's hard to understand when it's so hard for other people. It's hard to pick. Oh. I'm just kidding. Witt. No. I think decision making. Really? I'm a quick, I'm very decisive. And you stand by them or do you ever like have to backtrack? I don't often experience regret. Oh. I have a lot of freedom and like, well, this is what I decided. I had a friend of college roommate that was like paralyzed by decision. Couldn't decide between sweet potato fries or regular fries. Yeah. What not. And she's like, what do you do if you regret or you like, look and you wish you got the thing they got? I'm like, I don't. I just get what I get and I don't throw a fit. That's right. That's right.
