I love that we encourage 35 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 1: people to quit. But I think when something isn't serving 36 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,040 Speaker 1: you anymore, and especially you have a new opportunity, do it. 37 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: I hope you don't have second thoughts today because a 38 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: lot of times you just need to take that leap, 39 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 1: and if you wait for the time to be right, 40 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:40,680 Speaker 1: you'll wait forever. 41 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 3: So you just have to do it. Amen, sister, Ye, congratulations, 42 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 3: what's up? I want to say something Nate. 43 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 6: Yeah, I got a question for you, Scott. Did you 44 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 6: just reach your ceiling or was it the people or 45 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 6: the environment? Like what made you want to change? Because 46 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 6: a lot of people are in a in a job 47 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 6: right now like well, I'm not getting promoted, I'm not 48 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 6: getting a rouse, you know, wish they would do something 49 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 6: for me. But I think you probably just took the 50 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 6: onus upon yourself and said, you know what, if I 51 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 6: want to change, I'm gonna have to do it myself. 52 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 3: Am I correct? 53 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 5: Yeah? So rewind like several several years ago, I was 54 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 5: on the show with you guys when I was in 55 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,359 Speaker 5: college and Elvis asked what I was majoring adiphold on 56 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 5: accounting and he was like, oh, figures, and yeah, sost 57 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 5: forth to today, I'm still an accountant. And so the 58 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 5: push to leave was kind of like the environment in 59 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 5: the sense of like work life balance. Right, the people 60 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 5: have been incredible, you know. That's that they made it 61 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 5: hard to leave. That was a hard decision to make 62 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 5: based on the people. But the work life balance was 63 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 5: something that I really valued. And this new company I'm 64 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 5: going to, I feel like, really does value that. And again, 65 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 5: you know, you guys pushing people to make those choices 66 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 5: that better themselves. I really appreciate that. 67 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 2: Well, you know it didn't How old are you, if 68 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 2: I may ask, Scott, Yeah, I'm thirty, okay, so you're 69 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 2: still young basically. So I mean you you have all 70 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 2: sorts of things you can rush toward and do in 71 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,399 Speaker 2: your life and dreams that you want to make come true. 72 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:05,919 Speaker 3: This and that. 73 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 2: Keep keep those in your mind. You know, everyone listening 74 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 2: to this show. Doesn't matter how young or old you are. 75 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 3: You have these dreams. 76 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,399 Speaker 2: And once you give up in those dreams, that's when 77 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 2: you need to start discovering yourself a little more and 78 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 2: get to know yourself better. Because there are other dreams 79 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 2: in there. You need to mine them out right. You 80 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 2: got to go digging for them. You got to get 81 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,080 Speaker 2: you got to get to them. But never give up 82 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 2: on those. You know, at some point, I'll say, speaking 83 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 2: from someone my age, you get to a point in 84 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 2: your life where, okay, what's left? 85 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 3: Is this all there is? Of course no, of course not. 86 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 2: There's always something else waiting to be found within or 87 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:42,839 Speaker 2: through discovery through friends, like for instance, Gandhi is She's 88 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 2: kind of a north star for me when it comes 89 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 2: to things like this. Gandhi is always looking for something 90 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 2: new to do and some more trouble to get into 91 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 2: and rethinking what she's doing now and and you know, 92 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 2: and maybe turning it into something else and folding into 93 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 2: another life, another career, or another side of hustle whatever, 94 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 2: and yelled as well. Danielle's gosh, going to the theater, 95 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 2: make three times a week, always in the city, always 96 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 2: a champion for a sports team here and there, and 97 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 2: her kids and you know, you, guys, you have a 98 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 2: lot of mileage left on you as far as things 99 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 2: to do on your to do list in life. 100 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 3: I'm still looking for some new stuff. 101 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 2: And I know there are people Scott who are in 102 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 2: their twenties who are like, Okay, is this all there is? 103 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 2: It's not only an old person thing an older person. 104 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 2: There are people your age in thirty in the thirties going, 105 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 2: oh god, there's got to be more to life.

Like, there's sometimes there's only one 111 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 4: shot to do certain things. And if you're working or 112 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 4: you can't get the time off, or you know what 113 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 4: I mean, it's it's I learned that during COVID. During COVID, 114 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 4: I feel like, especially with the kids, like, look, these 115 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,359 Speaker 4: moments matter. Some of these moments you're not going to 116 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 4: get back. It's one shot, and that's it, so you 117 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 4: got to take advantage. 118 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 5: Do you say that Elvis? It's funny all that you 119 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 5: say that about? Is that all there is? Because that's 120 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 5: I pose that exact question to my therapist when I 121 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,919 Speaker 5: was kind of going through this process of like is 122 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:11,600 Speaker 5: this really all there is?
