Hello, how are you? Welcome back to the show. Hello, Ben. How the heck are you?

I'm good, Patrick. Really the heck are you? Good. Patrick.

Really good. We're going to talk today about complaining. We're not going to complain. So fun. What a great way to lead into something, right? Especially for our audience. Everyone's riveted right now. Don't worry. I heard you tell a story. I think this was in the summer. We haven't had a chance to talk about it here on the show.

A story about how you, sort of like the origin stories of a bit of a new framework for you, for us. So I wanted you to start this conversation. If you could give us the story one more time, lead us into this new framework all around complaining, and then we're going to take it from there. So wherever, wherever you think is the best place to start, let's start there.

Once upon a time, there was a boy.

So the idea was the kind of like the birth child of this framework happened where I was, I'm lucky enough to both

my parents are still alive. My mom lives on the beach on Cape Cod. It's where we spend our

summers. It had this amazing day and towards the end of the day, I'm on the beach with my mom

and we're there and she was complaining because the storm, these storms come in and they bring in a lot of debris, you know, like twigs, seaweed, rocks.

And her beach was a mess.

And I'm cleaning up the beach.

And she comes down.

And she's just trying to make conversation, you know, a good mom like she is.

Yeah.

And she starts just like complaining about how messy the beach is.

And I, you know, you always kind of like this was like a should I go here or not.
