You all missed us, right? We missed you!

We are VERY happy to be back, creating content, and challenging the norms again. Let's not mess around. Go listen!!!

Finally.

The medic Has come back.

That was my best rock impression.

Hope you guys liked it.

I did, at least it was fun doing it.

All right.

Today's episode is going to be all about the things that we learned

over the summer, and then where we want to take Medi-Cal in this 2.0

version that we've talked about.

And that's why we took the break.

We felt like we got pickled.

We knew we could do better.

So we took time off centered ourselves, came back with a plan

on where we're going to go and how we're going to help everybody.

Learn.

So we are excited about it.

I hope you guys are Here we go.

This is what drugs.

Josh what's on your mind.

You were the one that said you were primed and ready to go, Robert,

but you're the driver clearly.

Oh my gosh.

All right.

Since Mr.

Intro can intro, this is going to be a two piece episode, like a part dog.

No, not a part like a two piece chicken from KFC, get a leg

and a thigh, a leg and a thigh.

Yeah, so we're gonna cover one part.

The first part is gonna be things we observed, learned while we were breaking

while we took our first ever break.

Okay.

Here at the MetCast and then the second half is gonna be where we going, where

we'd like to go, where we think we can go.

Okay.

All right.

Can you do that?

Can you handle that?

Do you have any notes?

I don't.

You do.

I know I'm intimidated by your notes.

So why don't you start, I'll start.

What did you learn?

I'll start Robert.

There's that one thing,

I hope some of our listeners are laughing because it's difficult over here.

What it's just difficult.

You know what I've gotten outta practice.

Josh, do you feel that it feels a little awkward?

Doesn't it?

Does.

We don't have our little repe rep Parque.

Yeah.

It, it does.

That's all right.

We're gonna develop.

We're gonna get a back.

It's gonna be better than no.

It'll come back.

It's it's like riding a bike.

Have you tried riding a bike lately?

No.

Yeah.

Don't no, I'd kill myself.

all right.

One of the big things for me over the summer a couple things

happened career wise, where.

One of the last things I talked about before we took a break, was me moving

over to lead a Bitcoin mining company and everything that went along with that.

And then as you may or may not know, Bitcoin crashed quite drastically.

And unfortunately I didn't have time to.

Generate revenue sources that weren't dependent on the price of Bitcoin.

So I had to leave moved into a consulting role, but in that process, I really

started to pay attention to myself.

Thanks to my therapist and servant leaders, which we both are.

And we both strive to be, we're not good at serving ourselves and self care.

It's always helping others.

So that's something I've spent a lot of time trying to.

allow myself to do the servant leadership, but also serve myself.

So for any other servant leaders, which I'm assuming there are many out there

that are listening to this, hit the pause button and think about, do you

take care of yourself or is it always about the success of the team or whatever

product or whatever your focus is?

I have.

I've been talking a lot about the actual coaching growth wheel, which

has a self-mastery component in the middle it's like the hub of the wheel

and the coaching wheel is this like sort of stance model like coaching stance.

And and I've been not only by talking about it when I'm presenting the

wheel and talking about the book, the coaching book, but it's forced

me to think about it myself a lot.

Like self mastery.

Self growth.

Self-awareness self care are all of the things in that.

And it's weird.

I'm aligned with what you're saying.

And I've had time, not just because of you, but work has been slow for me.

So it's not just the break we had in the me cast.

But work has slowed down.

And what I've found is I've had some quote unquote free time

and it's allowed me to ideate.

It's allowed me to be creative.

It's allowed me to think about what's.

and normally I'm just like charging, I'm like a bull I'm

like charging forward, right?

Yeah.

And just doing work or doing training classes or something.

And I'm still doing a little bit of that, but having time to think to put yourself

first to think about what might be next longer term I think is incredibly, and

it's hard when I initially do it, it's oh, this feels really uncomfortable

because it's like, yeah, you feel guilt.

You feel guilty?

I also think there's a skill thing.

You're just like, oh, like now what do I do?

And I've been working, I've been working through that.

And at the end of the day, I think it's incredibly healthy.

I'm still navigating that.

And it's still awkward to some degree, but I'm trying to plan the future.

Now I'm planning.

You are pivoting in your career.

And you have some personal things and things that, so you're pivoting.

And I'm pivoting into semi-retirement.

And so that's part of what I'm, what's happening with me too, is that, but

I'm finding that it, it's powerful.

Like the self-care is really important.

You let it go and it's worth practicing.

It's worth immersing.

And it's making me a better coach it's making, so I see a direct correlation

between having some of that self time.

And then when I do work, it's I'm working better, so I'm my coaching is.

yeah it was so the divorces created this situation where the kids are split 50,

50, so every other week it's just me and that organization that I was serving the

family, a large focus of my time was gone.

So now what do I do when I'm not working?

And that was a real struggle for me.

So what I ended up doing.

Working more because that's how I filled in that gap.

Oh, there's a gap.

There's this organization that's gone.

But I wanna focus here because that's that's what makes me happy when

it really was just filling a void where I needed to actually like,

fill the void with value for myself.

So for all of you, servant leaders are out there, hit that

pause button and make sure.

Talking to yourself about yourself, where you want to go, the things you

wanna do the most powerful question that I got asked that I haven't

answered yet, that I'd like everybody to ask themselves is what's your

perfect day and your perfect day.

Can't include.

your family or your teammates or anything.

If you're just alone, what are the things that make you

really happy that you can do?

And I struggled to answer that.

I still struggle to answer that because my happiness was generated by the

success of others that I helped when, or deliver or grow, whatever it might be.

So don't fall into that trap if you can.

I don't even know if it's a service.

I think everyone.

So when we say servant leader, I think it's, it's a leadership thing

or it might say, oh, the leader listeners, this message is for you

and it's not for the non-leader.

Yeah, you're right.

And I think it's everyone reevaluate.

It's imagine yourself without work.

I think we all get sucked into work.

We get sucked into whether it's serving or work and again, I'm coming up on retire.

and what do I do with myself, Josh?

And I've got a lot of things I write.

I do.

So I like, I can't imagine, I don't even know what would happen

if I was like a full time leader.

And then I turned to switch one day and said, I'm retired.

Yeah.

I think God, I would be frozen.

I wouldn't know what to do.

I would need help and it would take me a while to make that transition.

So I've got stuff and it's still.

What do you do and thinking about yourself and thinking about what you

love and thinking about what gives you joy and what gives you energy, right?

I think that's, I think all of us should do that to some degree it's take a

walk outside and just figure that out.

That's, I'm just extending the message.

Yeah.

Yeah.

The last time we talked about this, we talked about the antithesis of it and.

Command and control leader.

They always get what they want.

They always, because that's who they are, but that's not who we are.

So there are folks that are out there doing it, but it doesn't really fit

with the listeners that we have here.

Yeah.

Okay.

So that was my big one.

I got a couple other small ones in there.

Okay.

you, What do you have?

Do you have anything?

I don't know.

I'm still thinking about it.

The one learning this is a rerecording Meer, so I'm trying.

I'm trying to, I'm trying to remember which is challenging me.

What I was saying.

One thing for me is I've reflected on and we talked about this the other day.

I think I've become too passive.

Yeah.

And I think I've become too neutral.

And I worry about, in my coaching, in my like I've rewritten articles to soften

messages, I've softened my coaching.

I was in a session the other day and I literally said I said, I

hope this doesn't piss people off.

And I pulled back on my comment.

And I realized that's doing me and doing my platform and is probably doing

listeners or the people that a disservice.

I want to get a little bit more prickly , now I'm prickly with you,

but in a different, I have a platform.

Yeah.

And I have experience and I, I should call BS on things more safe is one of those

things that I tap dance around nowadays.

Believe it or not.

Yeah.

People know where I stand.

but safe is continually, they're continually adding certifications.

They're continually adding layers.

They're continually, they're continuing to in to incorporate

or assimilate like UX and things.

It's like a black hole.

Yeah.

It keeps sucking.

Because it wants to be everything, it keeps sucking things in

now I'm not now I'm prickly.

Yeah.

And while safe is doing that over the last few years, I'm

getting softer and oh, it's okay.

Maybe it's okay.

No, it's not.

Okay.

So I don't think it's okay to do safe.

I compromise too much and it's not safe.

It's more the principles.

So maybe being clear and being a little bit more leveraging

my backbone a little bit.

Yeah.

You've always softened things.

Like the classic Bob Galen of I know which go ahead.

I'm not poking or whatever.

Yeah.

It was like, but then you poke right after you say, but I should poke.

Yeah.

I should just poke.

Yeah.

That's a perfect example.

Or I'm not trying to paint this in a bad light.

Yeah.

So I, yeah.

And I've gotten dinged for that.

So I you're right.

I've classically done that.

I think I've gotten worse at over history.

I've been making that same transition myself, mostly in my writing.

I find that and yes, there's like the active and passive voice, like in the

English and everything goes along with that, but like having a more active

stance of, instead of saying, I think I just say it, yes, this is bad.

Or adverbs, like I end up softening things like that.

to your point.

I feel like I'm not providing as much value because I'm not giving the people

that are paying me a definitive stance.

Yep.

Yep.

So as I've re returned in, into the consulting world, that flipped that

switch for me, where these people are paying me for answers and answers

right now and dragging it out.

Isn't what they need.

So I have to be that prickly guy, is however you wanna frame.

I think of it as a legacy thing for me too.

I'm not, again, it goes back to summer retirement and I, I don't have an infinite

number of years of being an influencer.

So my window of influence is narrowing.

So let's not waste my shots.

Let's start being a straight shooter more than when it's a, when it's appropriate.

Be a freaking straight shooter.

Yeah.

Like Alexander Hamilton.

Yeah.

Stop.

Worrying about stop wor right worrying about it.

Or are you.

Step on some toes or something.

So that's something I've learned.

It's a reflection thing and I want to recommit.

I won't be perfect.

I'll still, I have those habits and I'm still agreed, but I need

to start straight shooting more and that's something, I think that

it'll do me a good, better service.

It'll do listeners it'll do the content of better service.

Agreed.

So last thing for me, is that I have realized I inadvertently

painted myself into a corner.

So as I set up CAHSI and my consulting business, it was all tech focused.

And as I've been in different roles, such as the COO role and help CEOs

that I've realized the same problems exist everywhere, it's still work.

We always talk about in agile or scrum, whatever methodology

you want to use, that work is.

and that applies across the board and the same challenges

software teams have in delivering.

So does every other part of the organization that has to work on

a large complex project and get it done well, and somewhat on time,

whenever on time means, right?

That's a that's everywhere.

And so I'm trying to expand the area of influence.

I'm going to have with the content that I'm going to create by

having it not be so tech focused.

Yes.

That's what got me here, but I believe there's value that I can provide

anywhere across an organization.

Sharing more of your experience.

I think if I'm getting you right.

I think of generalizing my experience.

Now as.

Of my legacy.

So not talking about coach, not talking about agile software coach,

Bob experience, but more so Bob leader experience or Bob company experience

and things like that, that these are just gen generic lessons that

are well learned and sharing them.

Is that aligned with what you're talking about or what I've found is that what

I get most excited about is growth.

So I'm like reframing it as the growth.

Whether you are an individual that is moving into a new role and it's larger

responsibility and you're a little unsure imposter syndrome type things.

Okay.

Or anything like that, where any person is having a transition or they want

to make a transition in their career.

And they're stuck.

So helping people that are taking that first step or people that want

to take that first step, supporting them in making that happen.

And then of course, with an organization where I've spent most of my.

Has been where they are stuck and they need to get unstuck to unlock

the growth and to get the investment, or they got the investment.

And now what the heck do we do with this?

How do we make all of this happen?

That's where I spent the last 20 years.

And that's what I get excited about.

So I'm trying to focus on any company, any person that is in

that growth period or wants to be.

So if you hung up a shingle, it would be the growth coach.

Josh Anderson growth coach.

Now that growth coach could be one on one growth coaching or

organizational growth coaching.

Yes.

Okay.

And people can go to csi.io and sign up right now.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So I re I rework the website to be framed in that position.

And I'm gonna start talking about it more like that.

Cause that's what makes me happy.

You know what though?

It's yes.

But I also think we pigeonhole ourselves.

Maybe the learning there is you've been too narrowly defining yourselves.

Yes, I did the same thing with the evac book, my extraordinarily

badass agile coaching book.

And I've been trying to unwind that in presentations, but the very title.

So I like the title, but I regret the title because the title implies

that this is a book for agile.

If you have agile coaching in your in your business card, this book's for you.

Otherwise ignore it.

But if you, but that's not my intent, the intent is these are coaching

competency skills for anyone, right?

So leaders, managers, product owners, scrum masters, agile

coaches, anyone team members.

Be a better coach.

And so I've I think in J maybe this goes back to be prickly , but

also be broader for me is I've been too narrow in my niche.

Yeah.

That's exactly how I feel.

So that.

The switch I'm trying to flip.

Yeah.

And it's, and it really is unfortunate.

And a lot of our discussions have been broad , but it there's this perception,

the branding has been narrow right.

Narrower than what we talk about.

And we need to start, we should lean into it really being meta.

Yeah.

Oh my God.

The name might actually make sense now.

Make sense for a while.

no, that's, it's true, right?

It's absolutely true.

. Is there any more learning for me?

I don't think so.

Why don't we switch into what's next or going forward?

Yeah, the stuff we're thinking about going forward I can start.

Okay, cool.

And you and I have talked about this, inviting more people and

there's a tool aspect to this.

We need to figure out, but I don't know.

It's a virtual tool.

Where you can get like 2, 3, 4 way people and the sound quality is

good and the video quality is good.

So I want to do both.

So I, I, we can, you can publish videos yeah.

And audio.

But so that we can invite guests to the MetCast and we can do it seamlessly.

And I wanna start using increasing the platform that.

And it's not just agile voices.

So it would be agile voices, but it would also be diversity and inclusion voices.

I've actually I talked about having invited my daughter.

And my daughter.

And you talked about inviting in the last session.

Yeah.

We talked about inviting our daughters that would be broadening it inviting

folks that we don't wouldn't normally they're not in the agile space.

I think of anyone, you could meet someone who's provided a creative thing.

Part of it is actually it aligns with the learning, expanding our brand.

And not narrowing our brand.

The other part is leveraging, I think, going forward, leveraging our

platform for other people and giving, giving our platform to other people.

Yeah.

I, and I'd almost in a perfect world.

I'd love to oscillate and say one time, you and I record a MetCast and then

we have a guest and we have a queue of guests, and they're interesting.

And we're just exploring stuff or, two people or whatever it is.

The other things is I'd like to get contention.

I, we do strive for that, but we don't always get it.

Yeah, we have.

I, so I'd like to maybe it's part, so here, now that invite a safe

consultant and really go at it I'd really like to go at it and maybe

be, and not maybe be open minded.

And really see what they have to say.

And I want them to hear what we have to say.

Yeah.

See where they end.

I would like to do the same thing with some of the free

estimate F or no estimate folks.

Yeah.

Just, I have a fundamental disagreement with that, but they're smart

people that I value their opinions on, but we never put on a table.

We've.

Tweeted back and forth once or twice, but nothing we've never dug in.

So think that would be part of the inviting folks.

I think there would be a precursor to that of stay open minded.

Yeah.

I don't want it to turn into a.

FTA cuffs.

Yeah, totally.

But I want it to be like this exploration with mutual respect along the way, but

there, no, I think we have to, there's some people that we couldn't fight

that would turn into an odd debate.

I, healthy debates would be open, so that's something I'd

like to, I want us to do not.

I'd like to see us to do that's going forward.

What about you?

So in support of that, probably the biggest change that I'm making is

I'm starting a production company.

Because of all the things that we want to do yes, we can do that for ourselves,

but just as we do with the podcast, I think there's so many other people

that could use that and I could support other creators in the area that maybe.

don't have the setup that are putting that single USB microphone on a table between

us like you and I did a long time ago.

And then our listeners were like, can you please fix the audio?

It's terrible.

Yeah.

And provide that as a service as well.

But I also need to start, as you talked about expanding the channels that

we're in and getting better at that.

So I'm gonna be looking for an.

To come on and be a part to help us with the audio, the video,

everything that goes along with that, to make this as quality as can be.

There's no reason it can't be of higher quality.

Do you remember the podcast?

Group we put on was I forget what it was called.

A group of podcasters.

It was like a, you named it vaguely.

Oh, the agile podcast network.

Yeah.

But it never, we really, yeah.

We ne we never see, we never watered it or fed it right.

Or miracle growed it, but that's such a, I've run into a few not a lot, but there's

two, two women in the UK that are doing a podcast that are doing really cool things.

And I'm like, oh, it would be nice to get them into the network.

Yeah.

Is that part of what you're thinking?

Something like that, or that totally could be a component, but

having the technology, having it.

easily accessible to be able to rent out the space, rent out the

technology, do whatever that is.

But also we've been, one of the things that led us to this break over the

summer was we felt that we got pickled, which is one of the episodes that we

talked about and don't let that happen.

But we realized we had just been doing the same thing over and over again and saying

like, why isn't our, why aren't we yeah.

Affecting more people or whatever it might be.

And we.

Hadn't changed things.

So I just, the only way we're gonna change things is if we take bold strokes and I

think this is a bold stroke and there's things that I wanna do, personally,

I'm setting up a calendar where I'm gonna publish content six days a week

and across all different channels.

So for me to do that, because I think that will help us and help me

personally, with the things that I'm trying to do, that just has to happen.

I can.

Thinking about it and stop talking about it.

There's items in my Amazon cart that I know I need, I know I need to buy.

Yep.

And I haven't hit the buy now or whatever button.

So part of me never wants to slam you because you do all ERs and you

heard you do all the technical work so I can't, but at the same time,

you've talked a lot about ideas.

We have both of.

But your bandwidth has always been an inhibitor to things right.

Or just, I have more control of that now, right?

Yeah.

But so I wanted to put that out there.

Yeah.

And, but then I've always felt that your joy was content.

Yeah.

Like one of your, one of your joy things that you've talked about.

So there was this like tension between time and your joy is like

a content per so it sounds like you're leaning into your yeah.

Your joy.

Yes, no, no PS.

Yeah.

I am not looking for CXO jobs.

Yeah.

Anymore that's just off the table.

So now I'm really leaning into charting my own path, operating with

that growth coach mindset, where I find real joy of accelerating people.

So it would be that and this compliments that to yes, exactly.

Doesn't it?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So I can see you like taking someone.

So if I'm just excited about it, I wanna explore just a second.

Sure.

So if someone's out there and they wanted to podcast in the local

area, or even they were in Washington state or something and they're,

they have a, they're a newbie.

You could growth coach them into what it looks like.

Yeah.

Or if they're local, you would say, I've gotta setup up for you.

Come on in and I'll show you how to do this.

Or something.

So all of those things, just content.

Yes.

All right.

Cool, cool.

And broader content.

So not narrow agile.

Yeah.

It does not be, it could be life content.

It's gonna be life content.

Like I've gotta puppy or kids sport.

So puppy kids, sports content.

Yeah.

I forget which day of the week is specified as river.

That's the name of my puppy's.

That's like you got puppy day.

Yeah.

Oh, that's cool.

Cause everybody loves dogs, right?

It's if you publish a dog or cat video, everybody's gonna like it.

So you're like doubling down on my wife.

You being my wife's favorite, so you suck, you just suck.

Oh my God.

Now I'm gonna be just like cooking for you constantly.

It's a private, it's a private thing that a casters, but you've heard us before.

Talk about Josh is my wife's favorite person.

She's my biggest.

She is your biggest medicas fan.

Yeah she is a fan.

It's great.

Where, what.

We've talked about doing regular, like a regular tempo.

I think that's a change for us a little bit.

Even though we've been regular in the long term, we haven't been, we've

talked about weekly and really Batten down the hatches on that as part of

weekly, which we've talked about yeah.

A dozen times, but we always fall off of that.

But really, and get ahead.

Yep.

We haven't talked about it, but getting a little bit of ahead so we can get sick

or get a vacation or something like that.

But we don't lose our tempo.

So that's something we're gonna.

Anything else I'm gonna go forward?

I don't think so.

Those are big swings Meers.

I put something on LinkedIn.

I'd like to hear ideas for you.

I would love to hear ideas for topics, but I would more love to hear ideas

for guests and potential guests ERs, even if you wanna come in as a guest.

So it's not just guest suggestions.

If you'd like to come.

And have your voice heard.

And remember, it's not just agile, we're not just talking about sprint

planning, we're talking about anything.

Something truly the meta cast.

Yeah.

We need to, we, I like it's taken us 12 plus years to

actually align with the name.

That's you can teach an old dog new tricks after 12 years.

That's funny.

What, anything else?

Josh?

I'm excited.

I think you can hear the excitement in our voices because we did get in a Ru.

but luckily we recognized it hit the pause button, spent time thinking to ourselves.

We actually didn't communicate very much during the summer at all.

And I think that was healthy for us to get back together and have that.

The excitement didn't go away.

It wasn't like an old marriage, but it was just like, That break helped.

And it gave us both the opportunity to explore thoughts and ideas

where we weren't just continuously sprinting at the next episode, cuz

that's really what happens like okay.

The next episode.

Okay.

We should think about this other stuff.

But the next episode I want to though come back and say, yes, we got stale

or pickled or whatever, to some degree.

We also recognize that our recipe oh yeah.

That's a good point has validity.

So it's not that we're sitting here going, oh, we're kicking ourselves.

So it's yes.

And yes.

And though Meers Josh is not gonna change.

He's gonna be the same old Josh Anderson and I love.

and he's gonna bring every bit of himself and his genuineness, all of the

strengths, and I'm gonna be the same old.

And I'm just gonna get a little more, more prick, more prickly.

Yeah.

A little bit more, but I've always been a little prickly.

Yeah.

As you well know.

The same snarky humor or stupid humor, dad, humor, dad jokes.

It's gonna be a balance and we're not gonna lose our essence

is what I'm trying to say.

Yeah.

I, we are intentionally not gonna lose the essence of who we are and what we're.

we are not gonna be the new Coke that comes out for those of you that were

around when that happened 30 years ago.

Yeah.

Maybe Coke came out with a new flavor.

Yep.

And like the world revolted.

So then it became, they had to bring Coke classic.

Yeah.

Back.

There's one thing that we're doing new that you didn't bring up.

What's that?

I wouldn't say we, I.

So I'm just, I who have always been the wing it person have

invested in being prepared.

So me casters, I, Josh Joshua cube Anderson is holding a piece of paper

folded in half in front of him.

And it's not blank.

It's got words on it in a sequential order with ideas.

I E he has.

Some things for this MetCast and he's gonna continue to plan, I

know, pick yourself up off the floor, get up, dust yourself off.

Have a shot of your favorite.

Oh yeah.

Cuz you need it.

I know.

But Josh is going to be planning.

Yeah.

After reflecting, anytime we rerecord, we've done.

because we had an idea of the flow.

We had some thoughts out, we shared that, what's really, and we just did.

You're absolutely right.

Yeah, we did.

I think we're doing better this time than we did the last time.

Yep.

You're absolutely right.

ER, is the snarkiness in here is.

When we started the MetCast in my wet behind the ears.

I've sent, I, I probably have this on my computer, but I've sent Josh things.

I tried to like word doc.

God helped me when I send a word document, but I've sent him word documents, PDFs.

I've invited him to Google docs.

I've organized things.

I printed them out.

I took them down to Fuqua arena, handed, multiple copies, handed him his copy.

He crumbled it up.

It's.

So he was very anti planning and I just backed off.

I'm like, okay, we're gonna, we're gonna be the wing it brothers, and

we're just gonna have to wing it.

And that's cool.

There's something to be said for that, but I think the quality, all seriousness,

I think our quality is higher when we do a little bit of preplanning.

Yes.

Now not Corey Bryant.

I don't know if you've ever talked to Corey.

Have you ever talked to Corey uh, on his deliver podcast lately?

And did he give you the, did he give you the pre-work?

Did he ever send it to you?

I think he might have sent it to me and then I just stopped there or it probably

your head probably exploded like Corey.

So anyone Corey's very meticulous.

He talks about like the pre-discussion and then the topical

discussion and the breakdown.

We're not gonna be there, but that works for Corey that works for him.

And so what we found is that little bit of looseness works for us.

Yes.

And we don't want to.

We wanna honor that and recognize it and know that's part of

the reason you are listening.

Yeah.

But we believe we can provide more value to you, which is the larger reason why we

do this by being a little bit more prep.

I guess I should say that I will be a little bit more prepped and we

just believe the content's better.

No, I've turned into you.

I'm sorry.

I I'm so bad.

I'm a Wininger now at least when it comes to not in anything else.

To trust me I still everything else, but with the Medicare.

So you came with the notes the other day and like we practiced, but I need

I need to start coming back to planning and thinking about, we've talked

about like having a theme, right?

Not pulling it out of thin air, like 10 minutes before.

And then part of that is like, thinking about what are some, the possible

threads that we might pull on that I, and I think that's powerful.

I'm just.

I have to work on getting better at that again.

I think you'll snap right back into, I will snap trust me trust because

the rest of your life, I'm a planner.

So we, I think we're cool.

Yeah.

So get us your feedback Meers.

We are back we're back.

We're hot in the saddle.

It's the best of the old he's laughed at me.

I dunno what that means, saddle.

I dunno what that means.

I don't know what it means.

I don't know what it means either, but it just, but we're hot in the saddle.

And we're ready to go forward.

And and I think it's gonna be a really exciting next couple

of years for the Medicare.

And I'm really particularly jazzed about your content stuff.

Me too.

This is something I've been talking about saying I wanted to do for

a while and it's just alright.

This is in your sweet spot.

Yep.

And it's and it's a place where you can grow and explore and

I'm looking forward to that.

All right.

So from beautiful downtown Kerry, North Carolina, I'm Bob gall and I'm Josh

Anderson shake and big take care of y'all.
