And so what inspired you? Was it from the Dale Carnegie experience that you did this? Because then three years later, you launched your own company.

Number one, can you imagine the privilege? Because the research told us that how to win friends and influence people had to be updated and modernized, which it was.

But then the research told us further that we needed a new contemporary book on leadership.

And so the notion of the leader in you was born.

And working on that book, I had the high privilege of going into Mr. Carnegie's personal library and really studying what Dale Carnegie wrote about in his own handwriting.

And it was a phenomenal growth experience for me to study his values.

A lot of people thought it was a public speaking course.

So before we close, I just want to, I know many of our listeners know your firm and know you, but maybe give us a little bit of, you know, what the focus is and the programs you have going, because I think people can learn still so much from the firm that you and Harriet have built.

In terms of that cross-system integration of service lines, um, can you kind of walk us through maybe where you stand currently there, and what's the big focus going forward as you continue to leverage that systemness at MedStar Health?

Yeah.

So, you know, we, we, um, came to be as a system like many, um, integrated, uh, health systems, right? By, uh, by partnership and acquisition over, um, a long period of time.

And, and, you know, you know, community hospitals, um, have very strong traditions, very strong roots.

And frequently, and especially in early-- the early days of, of systems coming together, a lot of the, uh, a lot of those, um, those systems sort of become, uh, you know, integrated into the system, but you don't really have, um, kind of standard operating procedures that, that cut across, um, all of those entities.

We've done a really, really nice job at really accelerating over the last, you know, five, six years, um, to, uh, to sort of, uh, uh, pr-do a little bit more horizontal integration across, um, across our, our entire system.

So, um, you mentioned, uh, in my introduction that I hold two titles.

Um, so much going on your plate, but I guess kind of what are the key kind of areas that you're looking to tackle, push back against some of these cha- challenges and headwinds?
