um yeah you have a chance to shape what i talk about so yeah just want to say thanks for listening and uh hopefully it's it's making a difference in whatever you're doing in your life today's episode is titled don't die with your suit on very positive there shane um well first of all you might be thinking well i don't really wear a suit shane and it's funny i was only thinking about this recently i certainly don't wear a suit as often as i used to um but But the message isn't really about the suit.

And I suppose what I'm very curious about exploring is my potential, but what that includes is also having a life.

And a client of mine said that particular line to me recently that kind of made me pause.

And of course, as I said, you don't, you may not wear a suit, maybe you do, but you get the idea.

I mean, he didn't mean it literally, you know, he didn't mean he wants to get to the end of his life and realize what he meant, as you probably would guess, is that he didn't want to get to the end of his life and realize that he spent most of it working, you know, building, achieving, solving problems, being the boss, being the leader, being the entrepreneur, whatever, being the person everybody else needed him to be.

Um, since we had started working together, he realized, oh, I'm going to change the way that I'm doing.
