Did you find yourself arriving at the same realization?

In some ways, yes.

I feel like what I'm talking to is myself about five years ago, or maybe 10 years ago.

It's the person that I needed.

I needed who I am now, [laughs] at this point, to be talking to the person I was 10 years ago and saying, "Yeah, you've, you've got some tough times ahead, but you're also gonna have some really good things that are gonna happen here.

And so, uh, here's some, here's some tips and tricks that will help you get through this ti- through this next decade."

Who are they today?

They're mature.
