And I, and so I think that's such a powerful way to think about it because then all of the, all of the unique strengths that we have kind of bubble up to the surface as we're thinking about how can I be of service as opposed to how can I compare myself to this guy over here?

Yeah, no, absolutely.

And I think I stopped trying to earn permission, you know, from everyone else.

And every meaningful pivot in my life began the moment I gave myself that first step of permission.

And when you give yourself that permission, you are also giving yourself the grace and the understanding that I'm beginning again, right? This is like, The first time you take a baby step, the first time you learn the ABCs, the first time you, you know, like you're going to walk into like middle school the first time, you know, and you go back and, and all of the, and, and you, you're kind of like in the mind frame.

What I've learned with every pivot is that I go back and I'm like, huh, if I did that, I can do this.

And then the next, if I did that, I can do this.

For people who are listening to this and they want to do some more self-discovery and think about their own common threads, are there certain initial steps you would encourage them to take?

So talk us through some of that squiggly, you know, from there to here kind of moments for you.

So I worked many years in New York in advertising and, you know, I think life happens.

Right.

And you and after many years in advertising and it was much more economical to basically fly to Argentina for two days and shoot in a warehouse, not see Buenos Aires and get back on the plane and come back after many years of doing that.

I said, there's got to be more out there.

And I also I come I would say, you know, you need to know where you're from to know where you're going.

And I have my dad's Portuguese, my mom's Colombian.

Don't think about it as networking.
