So like so like when I wrote the fifth vital I had to come to terms with the idea of putting shit out there that I like the stuff we're talking about today is one thing and I'm okay saying oh my hair is thinning.
I so there's a it's a balance. Yeah, I was actually going to say with you you were like you need to make a lesson.
I'm about like I just signed my first book deal and so that's my first my goal with the book for sure is definitely to actually like create some lessons from things. I've gone through versus just being a transparent asshole, but I was good.
But with that being said one of my biggest inspirations with writing a book was your book. I you know, I don't read a lot big shock. I read your book and I loved your book. I would read it again and we talked about this.
We were at Tao like a couple like a month ago at dinner you and me. And literally we're at a table and this is rare for you.

You also gave me kind of the I don't know what you call it, but the spark notes of your second book a bunch of highlights of things you're writing about and your second book. I got it. I got it too.
