Well, first of all, that's a great question, Amna.

I'm very familiar with not only your TEDx talk on perfectionism, and I had the honor, and you were so gracious in the way you described hearing my TED talk, but I had the honor of hearing yours as well.

18:59
It's important work and I'm so glad you're doing it.
