2:22:30
Mhmm.
2:22:31
And while it doesn't happen all the time, you can you can call it luck.
2:22:35
I I I do think it's I just find that to be a testament to to your own work.
2:22:42
Like, someone being in somewhere where they're instantly inspired to want to give time and energy to something that might not have been even considered or in their, you know, realm of thought.

2:22:57
