Like the podcast, this actually was a good example of I never wanted to do a podcast because I really wanted to like I was living in like life is good. But now I have other things that I I'm trying to not do, but they're kind of like always pushing pushing into my mind space. Like a book, for example, at one point and I pause that just so I could have more time for the podcast. So I guess the decision is just like, what should I say yes to versus say no to?
