Shruthi VijayakumarGUEST
Oh, one good one that came hard and fast was not to, what's, there's a quote and we're probably going to butcher it, not to let perfection be the enemy of good, good enough, you know? And so I remember even like early curriculum and being a startup, Mark, it was quite humbling because I was still, I was still quite young.

Shruthi VijayakumarGUEST
I didn't really know much about the world, but it's sort of required to go where the work's needed.

Shruthi VijayakumarGUEST
So for, you know, at times I was like drafting curriculum that teachers would then review.

Shruthi VijayakumarGUEST
And I remember feeling so much sort of imposter syndrome of, will this be good enough and this need to get everything perfect and right.

Shruthi VijayakumarGUEST
Now the language I have, of course, more like design thinking agile, just get something out, iterate, iterate, iterate.

Shruthi VijayakumarGUEST
Maybe to start, I think just acknowledging that is already a huge step.

Shruthi VijayakumarGUEST
Even if we can acknowledge, wow, there's a lot of fear in me and I'm living in a system built on a f- feeling of, of separation, and I'm colluding and supporting that system, you know, and, and that's showing up in different ways.

Shruthi VijayakumarGUEST
And just to acknowledge that is huge because in that awareness there's some space.

Shruthi VijayakumarGUEST
Already the fear loses its grip a little bit as opposed to someone that's just running on the hamster wheel all the time, you know, as we often find in our corporate cultures where there's no time to even notice or presence what's happening because we are just chasing and surviving.

Shruthi VijayakumarGUEST
And so I think that, to your, your first question of how do we move, I think just acknowledging that is already much bigger, you know, already a huge step.
