It has, but out 109 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 4: of frustration and fear, I've just been in my head 110 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 4: for some reason. I've never had this feeling before, but 111 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 4: I want it to be known that I truly want 112 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 4: to create and I don't know if I'm getting mature 113 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 4: or I'm just looking at looking things at a broad 114 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 4: point of but I am so passionate about creating in general, 115 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 4: and I'm excited to show you guys what's going on. 116 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,720 Speaker 1: And I think that this is a very vulnerable and 117 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: real place for any person to admit that they are at. 118 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: But it's also one of those things that I think 119 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: you never stop running into. So I think to identify 120 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 1: it early to understand, you know, what resources you need 121 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: to put around yourself to be able to get through that, 122 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,159 Speaker 1: work through that, stay consistent through that, and keep the 123 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 1: main thing the main thing through that is important.

I think we're going to start 131 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:58,839 Speaker 1: seeing like the cream of the crop is going to rise. 132 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,479 Speaker 1: I think that you're going to see people who are 133 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: actually very passionate about what they're doing, who are passionate 134 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 1: about doing it well, doing it of quality of substance, 135 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: creating longevity around it. 136 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 3: Doing it in a way. 137 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:16,679 Speaker 1: That's purposeful, rise to the top and kind of quiet 138 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: out a lot of the noise. But that can get 139 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 1: kind of heavy sometimes, it can. It definitely can get 140 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 1: kind of heavy sometimes when you're figuring that out. So 141 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 1: Constat's conversation just made me kind of think about all 142 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: of that as I go into this new year, Like, 143 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: I want to honestly shed that heaviness, because when I 144 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 1: think about it, it's a blessing to be able to 145 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: even be in the space. 146 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 3: To explore these things. 147 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: I want to shed that heaviness, But I also don't 148 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: want to ignore, you know, Like mentally some of the 149 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: it's almost like an anxious feeling, like an anti feeling 150 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: that happens whenever you are trying to figure out am 151 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: I doing this and am I doing it right? Versus 152 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: just trusting your instinct and doing what you know to do. 153 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 1: And the more people relying on you, the more eyes 154 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: watching you, it changes your thought process around that.
