So hopefully you guys get something out of this. I'm excited to bring this to you. It's one of my favorite things that we do is taking that broadcast and presenting it on the podcast. But I also have even bigger news, starting next week, we are going to open up transformation Tuesday. That's right, you're hearing it here. First you are going to have the opportunity to watch us do this live. We're going to be broadcasting@facebook.com slash John Tesh, and if you are interested at all in following up there, that is where you can see us do this next week. We think that this is going to be a fun resource where you guys get to see a little bit about how we prepare content for the radio show, how we prepare content for the for the podcast, as well as the kind of content that we have been giving to a select few people for a little while, and now we are opening it up. So hopefully you guys enjoy that. But for now, here is the audio from our last show of 2025 ladies and gentlemen, transformation Tuesday. Transformation Tuesday with me and John Tesh. Hello everybody. I'm Gib Gerard here alongside John Tesh with this the last. I mean, can you imagine if there was another one, the last transformation Tuesday that we are going to do in 2025 thank you guys so much for being here. We are going to talk a little bit today about looking forward and looking backward, continuing our theme as we build to the New Year of creating the habits and systems that will make you the best version of yourself in 2026 giving you a slight now it's only a slight head start. Now it's a two day Head Start, but we've been giving you a several week head start for how to lean into into the new version of yourself, the best, not new version, let's say the best version of yourself in the new year. So excited to bring you some stuff. Got some great stuff for you today. I have a praise report. I actually cleaned up my bathroom. Oh, did you believe? Well, yeah, so I have, is the thing between me and my wife, you know, she was wearing there, yeah, okay, so I was, I wanted to get a start, like you're saying, I want to get a start on the New Year. I didn't want to wait to the new year to do stuff. So, so I, she actually got me these boxes. And they're really nice boxes. They're like, they look like leather, but they're imitation leather, and they got a thing like this. So I threw out all this stuff that I needed to throw out. I put everything in there, and now I can't find anything. It happens in my house. Every once in a while I have, yeah, it looks amazing. But the other thing is happening is, is I've now, I'm on to my closet, right? And I'm doing the thing that you've always talked about, which is, if you haven't worn it in a year or whatever. So I haven't even gotten through the T shirts yet, because there's like a, there's like a great, Greatest American Hero t shirt, which you have one of those? Yep. Can you close the door? Thank you. We really do this stuff from our home studios, just in case you guys are wondering, the dog barking anyway. So I've gotten that far, and then Connie's car had to go in for service, and so we were going to drive my car to take her to pick up the car, whatever, the whole thing. And this morning. And so yesterday, she says, I'm not going to get in your car until you clean it. And I said, we talking about cleaning. She goes, there's an ice cream thing on on the on the dashboard. I said, Of course I was eating ice cream. What do you want? And so, so anyway, so yesterday, I took the car in, and I had it washed, and then I cleaned out the interior and everything, and then, and then she so she, I let her drive the car. So she, she drove the car, and then she goes, she goes, Ah, I don't know if I like your car or not. I said, What's okay? She's for been in my car, right, right. Yeah, you know this. And so, and so I said, would you want me to I can make a little tighter if I put it into sport mode. Was a really bad, I mean, every single red light. So anyway, I've learned a couple of things from the New Year. One is, just stay in your own car, you know, and let her have been her car, clean your bathroom, but, but the thing is, I clean the bathroom everything. And you know exactly what she did, right? She goes, Well, what's this over here? Oh, gosh, I get now I get that same thing happens to be where I all of my vitamins are now in. They're now in, like. Baskets. But now I can't find anything or or the it spills out over the baskets. Like, every once in a while, it's like, Here, put all of your stuff in this thing. But doesn't work for me anyway, I promise we will get to the experts in a second after we complain about our cars. Yeah, right, yeah. Maybe. So no. So listen, I, I had a similar thing happened to me this week. So for the longest time I had, I have a nice minivan. I've had it for a few years, and my wife has had an older car, and so she was using she's done a couple of road trips, and she rightfully took the minivan with the kids, but she puts all this stuff in the car for like activities, and it sits in the car. Now, I was keeping my car clean, and then she takes it on the road trips. And now there's all these receptacles for trash in the car. And in that process, my car has gotten really, really dirty. And so she was giving me the gears about my car being dirty, same thing. And recently, because she needed a new car, she has now a nicer, newer car than I do, and and so she was giving me a hard time on my car being dirty. And I was like, It's dirty because of you. And let me tell you, if there's any anybody on this call right now, don't say that to your wife. Don't do that. Learn from my mistakes. I gotten I got a lot of trouble for doing that. So I won't be saying that again. I'm just gonna go clean my car. So I had a similar experience, and nobody drove in my car this week. So that's, you know, so I just have to keep it clean. Yeah, I blamed her. Drew that joke about the Freudian slip. Joke about the guy. The guy finally says he, he says, Yeah, I had a 40 slip point. So I, I wanted to ask, I asked my wife. I wanted to ask my wife to pass the salt. And said, I said, Woman, you ruined my life. It's a little bluer than that, yes, well, at least it wasn't that bad. Okay, good talk today about looking forward much better now. Thank you all. Appreciate it. Thanks for coming to our therapy session before we dealing with the experts. So again, we're looking forward and looking backward. Today we're going to talk a little bit about how to make yourself the best version of yourself. So look, I've been saying this. I said in the last one, we're going to recapitulate with a couple of people today about this idea of journaling. And I know we've gotten some responses. What does journaling mean? What do you have to do? You just have to carry around one of these, and you have to write down. This is a small it's not expensive. I get a nice one from this is from moleskin. Moleskin does not sponsor us. I just bought it, and I keep it in my pocket. I got the pocket sized one I have. I have places to write stuff down. Now I know John is going to go find one of his mini mole skins that I bought him. The point being, we've got to walk around with this idea of writing down our ideas of last week I talked about this idea of when you're sailing, you need to have the vision on the shoreline of where you're going. You need to have the heading that you need see there's his right. This is what you got for. This is what you got me for my birthday. Yeah, yeah. I still use Yeah, because you need, you need to be able to do that. So here is somebody who is say whatever you want about him, John and I love him. He is inarguably very successful and unique in his self motivation. So here is Matthew McConaughey talking about why he carries a journal fired. We get an idea. We'll get a plan. The truth crosses us, and when it does, we usually feel like, Oh, it is so clear. It makes so much sense to me. I'll never forget that, and we will forget it. That's one of the values of writing in the journal. It's a way to put it down, to document it. It's a written manifestation of what it is we're chasing in ourselves, where we want to go to, manifestation of our future. And it's documented. And again, you write it down. You can forget it. You look back, you get reminded, and you go, oh yeah, that's where I'm heading. Sometimes we need that reminder. Sometimes we don't need that reminder, and we just look back 20 years later and go, son of a bitch. I pulled it off. I love it. You know, he's so right, though, and I've actually seen a lot of self help guys recently, even, even a neuroscientist saying, you think you're going to remember this you really do. And you think you've got some, some, some trick you gotta, you gotta write it down. You do when you write it down, more likely to remember it anyway. It is a self fulfilling prophecy, and that's kind of what he's talking about there, too, right? It is a self fulfilling thing. If you start writing it down, those ideas are more likely to come to fruition. Now look, we all have notes apps on our phones. It's some version of a Notes app. If you don't, you can download something called Evernote. If you are a Luddite who has a flip phone, I. Allowed you for being able to do that by by the mole skin. But for the rest of us, with smartphones, you have no excuse if you do not want to write stuff down. You don't want to get a mole skin, you can't write with the with a pen. You don't like any of that stuff. Use the apps on your phone. We all have phones. You have a way of connecting you guys here. You're connected to us via technology. Alan is asking what we do about thoughts we don't want someone else to see. There are password protected journals on your there are password protected journals on your you can get for your computer and your and your devices. Day one is password protected. It's what journal that I've talked about before. Beyond that, you could do what Da Vinci did, which is develop your own system of handwriting and codec so that you can you can write stuff down that nobody can copy. It's put historians through the ringer to have them try to figure out and decode some of his journals, you know, a couple 100 years later. But all that to go ahead, no go ahead. All that to say you have that option of developing your own system of writing or using a password protection on your digital Shia. So if I don't have this with me, I have a couple of these, you know, and I'm usually writing down musical ideas. So I'll have, I'll have, I'll have the voice recorder here, and I'll just, I'll hit the piano, and I go a lot of times. It's nothing. But sometimes it sometimes it works out. But if I don't have this with me, then I write down on my I write on my hand, yeah. And sometimes, sometimes I went to the doctor. Not long ago. I had a blood test, I had I had stuff written all the way up. Now nobody knows where the tattoos begin, and the problem is people can tell when you've had a shower. Why does buy Christmas presents still on there? It's been a week. All right, here is Jordan Peterson talking about why journaling is effective and why it is an important practice for all of us. People write about their past, about their past trauma, about their future plans. They reduce general uncertainty. That reduces their stress, and that seems to produce a relatively pronounced physiological benefit, right? So little quick when you when you write about where you've been, and then that will help you define where you want to go. And when you define where you want to go, you are 1000s of times more likely to get there. It's the only possible way to have the life that you want is to know where you want to go. Some stuff falls in your lap. Opportunities will fall in your lap. And then luck will occur. That gets you, that hurts you. The bad luck happens and good luck happens, but you will not change your life if you do not set the course. And you can't set the course if you don't take stock. You know, it's a was it? Is it Master and Commander, where you find out that only the only the captain and the navigator are allowed to take the position of the ship because it makes you it makes them less likely to get to have a mutiny. Is that the book? Is that the movie? Yeah, yeah. So you got to you, if you want to navigate through the waters of life, you have to know where you are, you have to know where you've been, and you have to know where you're going, or you were going to be adrift. There is no other way. There's no other way to live. So take that control over your life and and it starts with journaling. Journaling is the navigator's guide to your own life. Nobody else writes this story, but you, and you need to pick it up and you whatever it is you want to do are you do you have this dream that you're going to be the next Lin Manuel Miranda and write the next musical that sets the world on fire. Great, maybe you can, maybe you can't. There's a lot of luck involved in whether you can or you can't. There's a lot of opportunity that you could miss, but it's not going to happen at all if you don't write the musical, and if you don't sit there and look at the things that you want to do and constantly reevaluate where you're at and where you're going, you'll never get there. You know, I, I've been really trying Gib, not to, actually, not to. I was, I was watching too many movies to get, like, the underdog movies, so I was in the studio, and I'm like, oh gosh, I gotta get my so I finally decided I'm not gonna watch any series, not gonna watch any movies not to start that. It's only been, like, two months, but I've been, I've been like this, but instead, what I've been doing is, is, is playing, is playing YouTube roulette, where I'll just, if I'm in the car, I'll just, I'll just go, I'll just open up the app and just see what it has for me. And because of what I've been searching, you know, a lot of it is musical stuff, right? And it's like jazz musicians or or writers or people, or even evangelist people, you know, people like that. I'll just let it, I'll let it go. And what a lot of it is teaching, just like what, you know, what we're doing, but, but Pat Metheny, who's a great, a great guitar player, and he has been, for, you know, for years, somebody that. That I followed. And people keep asking him, you know, what do I have to learn in order to get to your to your level? How can I learn these, this scale or that scale? And his advice is, is really very, very simple, where he says, You need to watch and listen to everybody. Don't, don't worry so much about theory, but listen to the people at the top of their game. Listen to them, read about them, consume all I don't care, go all the way back to Beethoven and, you know, and Rachmaninoff, and just bathe yourself in this. And that's really what our friend Ryan Holiday has done, because he has picked this lane of of stoicism and and I'm going to land the plane right into this year, even if you just jump around from Chapter Chapter red discipline is destiny, because there's some great things in there about the some of the some of the great Da Vinci is in there. There's some sports figures, your heroes that are, that are in there. And it just talks about what happens when you have leaders, world leaders, musicians, writers, you know all of them. What happens when they don't, when they have didn't have discipline in their in their life, and then also just, just surrounding your what comes into your ears and and what goes into your eyes, what you what is it you're trying to do? And there's so that's what I love about YouTube. It's like all the people Gib that you've interviewed, like James, James clear or, or the guy who wrote, well, atomic habits is Jane clear, and a bunch a bunch of those guys in Right, right, Holly, they're all on YouTube. Yep. And you can really, you can really just bathe in, in that stuff, instead of just, you know, what a lot of us do is just scrolling through Instagram or Facebook. Speaking of James clear, here is James clear talking about how to create the life that you want, and once you've taken the stock, taken the navigation, here is how you begin to set your course. The difference between a system and a goal. I was very goal driven for a long time. I mean, I probably still am. You know, I don't think there's any way to get around to the fact that we all have goals and think about the outcomes we want and so on. But a goal is about the outcome that you want to achieve, and a system is about the process for getting there. And so your goal is the target, the outcome, the thing you're shooting for your system is the collection of daily habits that you follow. And if there is ever a gap between your goal and your system, if there's ever a gap between your desired outcome and your daily habits, your daily habits will always win, you know. And so almost by definition, your current habits are perfectly designed to deliver your current results. You know. If you want to see like where you're going to end up, just follow the trajectory of your habits. You know, what's the process you've been running for the last six months or a year or two years that they've carried you, almost inevitably, to the outcomes that you have right now? Now, I'm not saying that habits are the only thing that matter in life, right? Like strategy matters, luck, randomness, those misfortune, those things can influence the outcome. But by definition, luck and randomness are not under your control, and your habits are and the only reasonable, rational approach in life is to focus on the pieces that are within your control. There you go. Good, yeah, I It's we've talked about this many times, Gib, it's fallen in love with the process. Don't think so much about the third thing, the prize. But really enjoy the process. I really enjoy the process of trying to create music. I even, I even enjoy a process more than that, which is taking a piece of my music and going in to a studio and having four musicians who have never seen it before interpret it, you know? I mean, that's one of those things where it's like, create something, turn it in, what, what? Maybe you're going to write, write about your favorite topic, post it, see what people have to say, say about it. You know, it's really, it's really fun to do that we become so attached to the idea of outcome, to your point that when things are not successful, we lose our steam, which is why you know people that I know, who are writers, who are who, who have a career as writers. One of the things that they do, whether anybody follows it or not, is they post essays every single week to a blog or a sub stack or whatever. And I, in fact, I know writing teachers who that's one of the things they make them people do is just create a you have to create a blog, and you have to post 500 words a day for the course of the semester, and it can be about anything. You just have to write, because you can't do if you don't do, you can't be this person that you want to become. You can't change the you can't become the best version of yourself if you don't begin to build the habits that get you there. You're never going to write a novel if you don't sit down and write words. And maybe it seems intimidating to write a novel or whatever your goal is. We often use writing. We often use the arts. Just because it's a world that we understand. But whatever the goal is, if you want to start the business, if you want to increase your your your earning potential, what are you doing today to increase your earning potential? Are you are you becoming certified in something? Are you doing those things that make you unfireable and super hireable to where the world is right now? Yeah. And why is it that somebody like Stephen King, we all know who Stephen King is. He's been, he's written everything from stand by me to some of the biggest, you know, horror books and everything you know, I mean, just everything, right? He wrote so much. He created a persona to write other books because he thought people were getting tired of Stephen King books, I forget the he created. Another writer, yeah, Bachmann, Richard Bachman. Richard Bachman, that's right. And so why does he write for every day? Why does he write for two and a half hours a day and then read for four hours? Why? Why does he need to do that? Because he just wants to continually be be absorbing what everybody else is doing, or people are his heroes, or whatever books he's interested in, and it just improves his vocabulary. Why is he, I mean, why is it that? Why did Miles Davis play in a club every single night of his of his life, and then during the day? Why did he listen to to other jazz musicians all day? Is because he wanted to have that. He wanted to improve the language, his his own language, his music language. And same for somebody like like Stephen King, you know, the the more we take ourselves out of out of our insulation, and get out there and see what, what the world has to offer, then we become ourselves. We it's not like we're what I said that book, steal like an artist. Right by Austin Kleon. Kleon. Kleon. It's not about, it's not about just stealing what people have, but it's, you know, it's, it's just seeing the people who are doing the things you want to do really study them and emulate them, and you will become yourself in that studying, in that practice. Yes. And speaking of you may think to yourself, well, I don't have the I don't I'm not Miles Davis. I don't have that life. I'm not a great horn player. I want to be, but I'm not a great horn player. Here is somebody that we've interviewed before, talking about the importance of being that person even when you don't feel like you are that person. Here's Mel Robbins talking about act like who you want to be, like the person you want to become. That's not fake it till you make it, by the way, this is intentional. Intentionally act like the person you want to become. Because when you intentionally act like the person you want to become, your brain sees you taking those actions. So your brain starts to change the way it relates to you. That's exactly what you were saying, right? It's just It said it in a slightly different way. If you do not you look at the habits of the people. I mean, we're building off all of these things. Are building off of each other. You have to take your navigation. You have to take you have to take stock of where you are. You have to define where you're going. You have to create the systems that will help get you there. And you need to begin to embody the person that you want to be. So you want to be the person with the great marriage. You want to be the person with the good interpersonal relationships. Start writing thank you notes for everything that happens. Start giving your spouse flowers or showing up for your spouse in ways that they don't expect, even when they've told you that, you know, things are too hard. And then you have to start showing up for those people. You have to start becoming that person. Act as though you're the person. Oh, you you want to be a writer. Whatever writers tell me that they, whenever people tell me that they want to be a writer or that they are a writer, they went to school for creative writing, yada yada, but they don't read, I can tell you right now, that person is not gonna be a writer. Right then, if they're not acting, if whatever day job they're running, if they're not acting as though they are the person that they want to be. And again, we are hyper focused on creative pursuits, just because that's the world we know. But it's, it's true about everything, you have to act as though you are that person. And, and ask people, you know, where we've talked about this before, it's like the rule of 10 years old. Think about what you were doing. You were 10 years old, which made you come fully alive. And, and, and think about, Am I doing that? Is there? Is there? Is there a part of that that I'm doing and, and I love this exercise, you know, sometimes I'll ask people to, you know, who do you think I am? Describe me, you know? And it's like I just had a conversation with a guy who used to, I would for Christmas. I mean, like three guys used to, we had our horns, and we would go around the neighborhood, in on Long Island, and we would play Christmas carols really, really badly, and we were making money, and we Tim Marin, he just reached out to me. I haven't talked to him since, you know, 1970 and and he reminded me that we were people were paying us to stop. I. Yeah, but anyway, we continue to have a conversation. He said, You know, I I really knew, I know you went to college or something else, but I really knew you were going to your first love was, was, was music and, and that you were that you were going to be doing that and, and so it's, you know, it's, I think it was GK, Chesterfield, the evangelist who one of his prayers was, and now, God, with your help, I shall become myself. That's really what we're after, right? We really want, we really want to become ourselves. You guys are here because there is a dissonance between the place you are and the place you want to be, right? There is a difference you are not exactly where you want to be. And what we're saying is that that is the true version of yourself, the place that you want to be. There's something in you that want there is there is a self that you can achieve. That is the dissonance you're feeling is because you're not being the truest version of yourself. So act like that person. Act like that vision. Create the vision. You have to go through the work to create the vision act like that person, and create the systems that will help get you there. Here's Brian Tracy, who we have talked about before, talking about the role that self discipline plays in all of this. And this is where the new year really comes into play. Found is that the most successful people have come to that conclusion as well, that self discipline is the master key to success. For you to write down your goals and make a plan and set priorities and start with your most important task. Takes tremendous self discipline. If you haven't done it up to now, it's so hard, but everything is hard before it's easy, and everything at the beginning is difficult, but later it becomes easy and automatic. You have to force yourself to discipline yourself at the beginning, but after that, it becomes easier and easier, and you actually feel happy. Yeah, he wrote, he wrote a book called Eat this frog. Eat the frog. Yeah. You fall in love with the process, and it becomes simple. And this is everything we've talked about today, is very simple. And you may be thinking to yourself, well, I can't, you know, there's got to be something more to that. Are there other factors in life, aside from the stuff that we've talked about today, yes, there are other factors in life that get you to the place you want to be, but this is the simple part. It's not easy, but it's simple. And what, what Brian Tracy is talking about, and what we have built in today's in today's call, is that thing where you ever meet somebody who has made, who is, who is really wealthy and then lost it all, and they don't care, and they're like, No, I I have you, put me in the put me in the Savannah, and I will find a way to make a buck. I will, I will figure it out. Because they under they figured out a process that works for them. They figured out a process that gets them a lever that they know how to pull in themselves that gets them to the place that they want to be. I have met people like that where it's like, yeah, you know, you put me in in the mail room at a company, you give me, you know,$5 in startup capital. I'll figure out a way to rebuild the business that makes, you know, 10 million a year. And there's, you're almost like, you're, you're a ridiculous person, but you see it in their eyes. I was thinking about a guy. I mean, there's two guys that we know from the from our days working with with slim fest, but I'm thinking of, you know, Tom Dowd is definitely one of those people where he was an executive at GNC. Now he runs his own supplement brand, great guy. And he's that kind of person where you're like, Yeah, you put him, put him in the woods. And eventually there will be, he'll he'll find a way to create a supplement business. There'll be a G and C opened in the woods. You know, what's his face? Chris teasy, who was the CEO of Slim Fast for a while. Same thing, just there's a feeling of of they understand the process, and they know how to act like the person that they want to be. Yeah, I have a, have an assignment for you guys. I actually, I'll start with this. You just watched Mel Robbins, who, who has, in the last two years, just like, become the number one more right up there with Joe Rogan, number one podcaster and and she's basically just productivity, life hacks, that kind of stuff. But she has, like, in the last couple of years, she has just exploded, and part of her testimony is she, she took, she took, like, a forensic look at her daily life, at her life and what. And so she started writing down in a journal, she started writing down what are, what are the things right now that are holding me back from becoming everything that I want to be in life? And she would write it down every day. And it turned out that the pattern that she spotted right away was that at the end of every day, she was having two glasses of wine and and so she she was like. When I and when I wake up in the morning, I just, I, my the first two or three hours are, I don't feel great. She's a really small woman. That was a big deal for her. And so she so she she said, I just cut out. I identified what that was with this forensic look. It took stock of my life. I just cut that out. And all of a sudden she had more time, and she had more energy in her life. So I would say that you know this this next week, right? Just get get a journal or do it on your phone, however, whether ever wanted to be password protected and and write down the three things that be honest. Write down the three things that are holding you back from, from what from, from who you want to be. And then the other thing I would suggest is once a month. I've started doing this once a month, watch a documentary, watch a documentary of somebody like I watched the Teddy Roosevelt documentary. I just couldn't even believe it. I couldn't believe what this guy had done with his life. I watched the Beatles documentary. I watched the lead seven Zeppelin document. Or even just watch planet Earth, right? Forget about all the what's happening in the new the new movies and the new whatever it is. Watch that for entertainer, if you want. But watch it. Watch a doc, watch a good documentary, and you can just go on, you can go on, you know, whatever AI. Or you can go on Google and just say, what are the top 20 documentaries of all time. Yeah, and be surprised how you'll look at that stuff and you go, Oh my gosh, and you'll be able to see yourself in some of this stuff. I believe it. It's look I'm always trying to read a fiction book and a nonfiction book at the same time every you know, every week, it's one on one. And this is where, this where documentaries are great, because nonfiction gives you the pattern that you are looking for. I was talking about, I meant to, I meant to finish with this earlier, where I was talking about, you know, ask people what they see you, who you are, what they see, what they see you doing. The other day, somebody asked a question about something. We were out with Gib and his three kids, right? And somebody asked a question, and it was about, it was something about space and the atmosphere, or something like that. And Gib, we're all like, I don't you know, because one of the kids asked, you know, what? What happens when you're what's, what are the different atmospheres or something like that, and when do you get to into space? You know? And so Gib, all of a sudden, just leans in and just gives this whole explanation, this whole scientific explanation of what that was. And I said, I said, Oh my gosh. How does he? How does he know that? And and your, your 12 year old said, Well, it's dad. What was the answer? And all the other two kids are like, yeah, because they know that, because you, because you are always better studying. You're always bettering yourself, and you're always playing word games and doing all of that stuff that and watching Fiction and reading fiction and non fiction and watching it that you just have this broad knowledge, and people see it on this, this coaching call. That's why it's like Chrissy calls you coach Gib, right? You need that. Depending on what you want to do, you need a vocabulary for it, right? And and that's studying and reading especially, is what gives you that vocabulary. It's not just about learning words. It's just about learning about everything around you, I believe, study the people whose habits have created the life that you think that you want and continuously reevaluate where you are and where you want to be. That's our goal for you in 2026 as we conclude 2025 our goal for you is that that you create a vision for yourself and that you give yourself the tools of self discipline to actually accomplish them. It is simple. It is not easy. If you do it every day, it gets easier. Do the simple thing because you just because you've convinced yourself it's more complicated than that, doesn't mean that it is. It's not easy. Have you ever tried doing this every day? Have you tried living with this reality. If the answer is no, and I'm assuming that for all of us, the answer is no, do it. This is the year that you do it, every single day that you are committed to making this your reality. Thank you guys for great 2025 and we will see you guys next year.
