1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,640 G'day leaders. In this episode we talk about how we do New Year's Eve differently. 2 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:13,720 We're calling it New You Eve. Instead of New Year's resolutions, we have a two-step process. Enjoy. 3 00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:17,780 Why did it count backwards? Oh no, we're now recording. 4 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:20,680 What? Hello captain. 5 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:28,680 What do I say? Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly. 6 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:36,680 What are we going to talk about? I don't know. So, leadership, life and everything else. 7 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:47,680 And we're live, on air. We're on air, not we're recording. 8 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:56,680 But the sign says on air. It does, it does. We've got a new neon sign in the studio that says on air, gifted to us by my gorgeous little son. 9 00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:03,680 Yes. We're professional now. Yeah we are, we have a sign that says we're on air. Live, on air. 10 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:10,680 Hi Michelle. Hi Guy. And why do they call you captain? Because you're an hour-long captain. 11 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:16,680 I thought that was a trick question. No. And Guy Newman the clown, why? Yes, I was a clown in a circus. 12 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:27,680 Yes, yes, we know that. So, first episode, if people don't know who we are, why we're captain and the clown, we recommend our very first episode. 13 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:32,680 Who are captain and the clown, that's right. I'm finding out who we are and why we keep calling out Bollinger. 14 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:42,680 Yeah. So our last podcast of 2023. Yes, yes, feeling excited. Yeah, me too, me too. It's been a great year. 15 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:52,680 Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And we're calling this podcast New You Eve. New You Eve. Happy New You. Yes, yes. It's a play on words. 16 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:57,680 It is a play on words because we've got quite strong opinions about New Year's resolutions and stuff. 17 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:06,680 We do, we do. So typically a New Year's resolution is a projection of goals moving forward, how you want to be... 18 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:14,680 Resolving to be or think or do something different. That's right. So we looked it up. A resolution in the dictionary is a decision to do or not to do. 19 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:25,680 Sounds easy. Yeah. But I saw a report or a story by ABC News, they've got their facts from somewhere, that 80% of people... 20 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:34,680 I've heard something similar. Yeah. Fail. Fail to achieve their resolution and with most of those people actually failing by mid February. 21 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:46,680 Mid February. I think many years ago I think I failed in January. January the 1st. This year I'm going to quit drinking. Cheers. No, I'm kidding. 22 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:53,680 Yeah, no, a lot of people fail their resolutions and we've discussed a few times why people fail their resolutions, haven't we? 23 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:59,680 Yeah. So it's all about the goal setting, etc. So we do things differently. 24 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:08,680 We do and we do... how we do it is we sit down and we do this all through the year actually. Yeah, we do actually. 25 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:16,680 So we review. Review. Yep. So instead of thinking about who we want to be in the future, we review the previous year. 26 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:27,680 That's right. What's happened. Yeah, take stock. Actually take a breath, pause and yeah, even list on paper the things that we've done. 27 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:33,680 We do two things. We do. Yeah, we celebrate. Yes. And then we collect our learnings. Yeah. 28 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:39,680 It's a much better way to do it. So rather than New Year's Eve with a glass of champagne in your hand thinking, all right, what am I going to do now? 29 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:47,680 I'm going to get fit. I'm going to lose weight. Quit drinking. Cheers. Cheers. Yeah, it's better to look back first. 30 00:03:47,680 --> 00:04:04,680 Yeah. And I think, well, from my own personal experience, I tend to... I've done something and it's almost like I don't even acknowledge the fact that it's completed or finished or achieved because I'm on to the next thing. 31 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:13,680 Yeah. Always looking forward. Yeah. And whereas children, if they accomplish something, we give them huge credit and kudos and celebrate them. 32 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:29,680 And we don't do that enough for ourselves. Take stock and celebrate. Yeah. That's right. It's good to get back through the year and celebrate what you've achieved and then look at what you've learned from that year before you decide what you're going to do next year. 33 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:43,680 And so, well, we've been talking about this before that. So as far as collecting our learnings, and I mentioned failure and you said, well, you can't learn from failure. So failure means that you haven't learnt. 34 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:50,680 Yeah. Failure is when you haven't learnt. Yes. Yeah. Learned. Americans say learned. We say learnt. 35 00:04:50,680 --> 00:05:00,680 And so if it's something that you didn't achieve or didn't work that time, it's actually a lesson, not a failure. You found out what didn't work. 36 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:13,680 Yeah. And for people who feel like they haven't achieved anything in the last year. That's not true. No, they're still here. Yeah. And they've learned maybe what didn't work. 37 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:24,680 Yeah. Yeah. But we always start with a celebration. So let's do a bit of that. Yeah. Yeah. So we've had a great year. We've actually, this is something we can both celebrate and learn from. 38 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:33,680 We had planned to record a lot more podcasts than what we actually did. And then to release them. And release them instead of sitting on them. 39 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:44,680 Yes. And so we always set big goals, but we didn't achieve necessarily the number of podcast episodes that we wanted. We certainly achieved a lot though. 40 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:51,680 We did. And so we both can celebrate the fact that we did release a lot of podcasts. And thank you to all of our listeners for all your feedback. It's been awesome. 41 00:05:51,680 --> 00:06:10,680 I know. It's good. And it's even when we meet some of those people and they say they may not have visually celebrated us or commented or anything, but then when they speak to us, they say, I've been using this technique that you mentioned in that podcast. 42 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:26,680 The curiosity one. Yeah. Yeah. That was your idea. That was a great podcast. Yes. So I'll be using more of that going forward into the new year. That's my part of mine, but we'll discuss that in a bit. But the podcasts and then meeting all new people. 43 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:42,680 So many people and from a wide variety of sectors and interactions and situations. So we can certainly celebrate that. What else have you achieved this year, Michelle? 44 00:06:42,680 --> 00:07:02,680 Traveling for work. Yeah. We got to work in Malaysia. We did. That was amazing. We went up to Darwin quite a few times. Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne. You went over to Perth. Yeah, Perth a few times. Yep. So celebrating the fact that we get to see this beautiful country and travel around the world doing what we love doing. 45 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:17,680 Well, as some of the amazing people I met, well, we both met doing keynotes. Yeah. Yeah. Such a fun thing when you've got a huge audience and afterwards they come up to you and say, oh, that bit of the keynote really resonated. That's always fun. 46 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:37,680 Yeah. Well, I learn more from people who come up to comment on what they've taken away from it because it's from their perspective. I hadn't actually thought of that. I find that in every workshop that you learn from the students because they're putting what you're teaching into their own story, like you often say, in their perspective. 47 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:52,680 And then when they relay that to you, it gives you a new perspective of what it is that you're teaching. I love that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Released a book. A children's book. Yes. Yes. And so we'll do more of that next year. Yeah. I'm working on my book is so close. 48 00:07:52,680 --> 00:08:18,680 Yes. Actually, we're shopping for a publisher right now. Yes. Yes. That one's exciting. If anyone knows of a publisher. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The clown.com. Absolutely. And yeah, just what else? Yes. Yes. Lots of lots of good health habits this year. Yeah. So not feeling it with the tight hamstrings at the moment after shoveling. 49 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:37,680 Yeah. We're shoveling 1.5 tonne of rocks the other day. People are going, why would you do that? Gardening. Gardening. So and then so the learnings. Yeah. So the first step is celebrating and then second step is to take your learnings. 50 00:08:37,680 --> 00:08:52,680 So what did you learn this year? Oh, I had a lot quite a few learnings. One that I have been able to act upon after a few times. It's like hitting me on the head because I didn't get it. Hadn't got it for a long time. 51 00:08:52,680 --> 00:09:18,680 Is that when I have a an outcome that wasn't quite what I wanted, there's some disappointment, frustration, I start to feel a bit low. I need to drink a glass of water. So as we discuss in workshops, the as far as the the brain and you get a dump. So you get cortisol and 52 00:09:18,680 --> 00:09:40,680 the adrenaline. The four adrenal. Adrenal corticotropic hormones. That's it. The precursor. Yes. Yes. Yes. So and then the 90 seconds and it's a chemical release and we can control this and I explain it in workshops. 53 00:09:40,680 --> 00:09:56,680 And I talk people through it. How to do it. And so you're now applying it to yourself. I am applying it to myself. Yeah. For those in those situations. So I know that the circuit breaker for me to stop this is a glass of water. 54 00:09:56,680 --> 00:10:25,680 So when when something happens and you get a release of adrenal corticotropic hormone, you're going into final flight. Yes. And we've spoken about this before. You those emotional chemicals then last for 90 seconds in your body. Thank you, Dr. Jill Bolte-Taylor. Yeah. And if you just sit with the emotions for 90 seconds, they'll go away. But you're saying that one of the things that helps you is just to drink a glass of water. That's right. It's a it's I've attached it to it now that as soon as I start to feel it and go down, I need to drink water. 55 00:10:25,680 --> 00:10:36,680 I need to have water. So soon I'll be like one of those or like my teenage daughter who had carries around a huge Frank Green to sip. 56 00:10:36,680 --> 00:10:50,680 She wasn't going to let us continue with that without getting that Frank Green. What is it with Frank Green? Here we are promoting it. Huge lump of a drink bottle. It's just a water bottle. 57 00:10:50,680 --> 00:11:06,680 But yeah, I have water with me. So that's one of your learnings. Daddy's one of my learnings. Yeah. My big one for this year is that I don't set goals for myself. I establish rules. And we'll talk about this when we talk about new you Eve, the rules. 58 00:11:06,680 --> 00:11:24,680 And so these instead of saying I want to do this, I want to do that. This is the new rule. This is this is my rule. This is how I operate. This is what I do. It's a it's a rule. So I set a rule. For example, my rule is that I drink a glass of lemon water, a big glass of lemon water every morning. 59 00:11:24,680 --> 00:11:44,680 It's a rule. My day like that. It's not like I'm going to try and do that. I want to do that. It's not that's the rule. That's that's the way I live life. And I'm starting to apply a lot of rules. And we'll talk more about that when we get to the new new you Eve bit of this podcast. 60 00:11:44,680 --> 00:12:07,680 Yeah, learning learning that. And I've always thought this that there's no such thing as failure. There's only failure to learn. And one of the things I'm moving towards is what I call radical acceptance. And I'm going to be talking about that in the second part of this podcast as well. And that's going to be a new rule for me just accepting what is. 61 00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:24,680 Yeah, well, we talk about anti fragility a lot in workshops and keynotes. And as far as collecting your learnings where it's not always winning those things that you haven't that haven't worked yet. 62 00:12:24,680 --> 00:12:44,680 Future proofing yourself because you have tried things that haven't worked to the outcome that you wanted. So you know, I don't if I do that, it's not going to give me the outcome that I want. Yeah. So future proofing building in redundancy trying things pushing boundaries. Okay, they may not work. 63 00:12:44,680 --> 00:12:58,680 But, you know, for next time, not to go that path. So you try something else. Yeah, no, exactly. So if people rather than go straight to a new year's resolution, sit down and they celebrate their wins for the year. 64 00:12:58,680 --> 00:13:24,680 Obviously, they're going to feel good. They're going to get that hit of dopamine serotonin and then go through the year and think, all right, what didn't go the way that I'd planned and don't see it as failure. See it as an opportunity to learn something. What did you learn? What did you get out of that experience? If, if you get to the end of the year and you think of yourself, I've achieved nothing. Well, that's not correct. What you've achieved is a lesson in what doesn't work. 65 00:13:24,680 --> 00:13:44,680 And if you can reframe anything that happened to you during the year as an opportunity to learn, you're becoming anti-fragile, which is the big, the big message in your keynote that we, whatever adversity we face makes us stronger. We can pull lessons out of it no matter what it is. I know that's easier said than done. 66 00:13:44,680 --> 00:14:05,680 But just going back through the year and thinking, okay, what didn't go the way I planned? I didn't lose that. However many kilos I didn't get to run five. Yeah. Or my relationship didn't work out, whatever it is. You've got an opportunity at the end of the year, instead of sitting there going, oh, well, it was me. I'll try again. 67 00:14:05,680 --> 00:14:19,680 Yeah. Is to think to yourself, okay, so what did I learn? What was the gift that that experience gave me? And it is a gift because without that gift, you aren't a stronger person in the future. 68 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:38,680 So yeah, setting the goal or setting the resolution that you're going to get up at 5am every morning and go for a one kilometer, two kilometer run. It may not work if you don't get to bed until 11 or 12. So you may need to just tweak it. So you know that getting up at 5am doesn't work for you currently. 69 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:54,680 Yeah. So think about why it didn't work rather than, oh, I failed. Yeah, what's the lesson? Yeah. So we're going to be doing that this afternoon. Yes, because today is the last day of 2023. Yeah. So celebrating your wins, everyone celebrate what you've achieved this year. 70 00:14:54,680 --> 00:15:12,680 And then just go back and find out what did you learn? Yeah, it's not failure. It's learning. It's only failure if you don't learn. And a child, you wouldn't berate for, you know, not being able to do something if it's their first time or you can see that it doesn't work for them that way. 71 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:29,680 But because you're outside, it's not you personally, it's often easier to see for other people than it is for yourself. So maybe take a step back from yourself and have a look and assess as if you're your best friend. Yeah. Have you heard that? Yes, I have. And you should be. Yeah, I need to do that. 72 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:45,680 I need to do that. Yes. So yeah, look at look at your life as if you are giving yourself advice as your best friend. If your best friend was looking at what happened to you in the last year, what would they be celebrating? And what would they be showing you that you've learned? Yeah. I like that. 73 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:49,680 I like that. 74 00:15:49,680 --> 00:16:08,680 So part two of this process is then the new you. So I tonight when the clock strikes 12, I'm planning on next year being as successful as this year, because I'll be taking my lessons from this year and previous years into into next year. 75 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:26,680 But I'm not going to be setting resolutions. I'm going to be creating some rules for myself. And I'm going to be starting small with a couple of them because they're new things that I want to start bringing into my life. Can you share? Yeah, like one of the things that I implemented or started to implement this year was stretching. 76 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:43,680 Because as I age my ligaments and muscles and everything seemed to be tightening up. And so we started to do it together actually and had a plan to do it every couple of days and failed. Yes. Well, it wasn't failure. I learned something. 77 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:59,680 It was that we hadn't actually set a trigger for that a rule around it. And so I'm going to be creating a rule that on particular days at particular times after a particular event, we stretch, I stretch. And if you want to join me, please feel free to do that. 78 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:15,680 So it's not so much about a goal that I'm going to set for myself to be able to do the splits or be able to touch my toes eventually. It's more what is the rule that's going to create a behavior which inevitably will achieve the outcome at the end. 79 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,680 Who is it that rolls out of bed and does 10 push ups? 80 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:19,680 Batman. 81 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:20,680 Isn't Batman? 82 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:34,680 It is Batman. It was Christian Bale. So Alfred walks into his room with a tray of breakfast. He stands up and he falls forward as if he's falling out of his face, but he falls to the ground and he's doing push ups. 83 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:38,680 Yeah. So that's the trigger. That's the wake up means 10 push ups. 84 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:43,680 Yeah. Same as for me. Wake up means like a glass of lemon water. 85 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:44,680 Yeah. 86 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:45,680 Yeah. 87 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:46,680 So I like that. 88 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,680 What about yourself? What's your rule for next year? 89 00:17:49,680 --> 00:18:03,680 Okay. To get more curious in life. We did a podcast on it and I consider myself quite curious and I've been making myself do that, but it is a conscious effort to be even more curious on life. 90 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:22,680 So my rule, I've created a strategy around that, how to do it, is to stop when I meet somebody or there's a situation to stop, pause, take a breath, which are all things that we learnt, you know, emergency handling, etc. and aircraft. 91 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,680 So sit on your hands and just take stock. 92 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:27,680 Let go of the control panel. 93 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:40,680 Well, yeah, kind of let go of my preconceptions and then think to myself and whether I ask it verbally or just in my mind, why. 94 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:51,680 So no bias or release my bias and look at it from somebody else's point of view or a different method or technique to what I would normally do. 95 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:52,680 Okay. 96 00:18:52,680 --> 00:19:02,680 So you've told a story about a person who you were doing a workshop and they had the lectern or a table set up and you couldn't move it. 97 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:18,680 So you stood in front of it, which frustrated the person who had set up the room because they would have gone behind the desk, which I've seen you in many workshops and you have a lot of movement and energy and so that would have caged you. 98 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:19,680 Yeah, that's right. 99 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:26,680 So and that worked for you, but because it wasn't the technique or the process she would have used, she got angry. 100 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:27,680 Yeah, frustrated. 101 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:28,680 Yeah, frustrated. 102 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:33,680 And then potentially couldn't actually even hear the workshop. 103 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,680 She was in her own head, I could tell. 104 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:55,680 And I know I'm guilty of that if somebody's doing something in a different way to how I would have done it, sometimes I get so caught up in a little mini discussion in my head about how I would do this or what I'd like to say to this person that I'm missing what they're talking about. 105 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:56,680 So you're not curious. 106 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:57,680 No. 107 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:04,680 So I'm, yeah, I'm actively, my goal is actively getting curious. 108 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:05,680 Active curiosity. 109 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:06,680 Yes. 110 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:07,680 I like it. 111 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:09,680 I've got one that relates to that. 112 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:15,680 My new rule for 2024 is what I'm calling radical acceptance. 113 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,680 It's radical. 114 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:18,680 It sounds like a sports drink or something. 115 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:19,680 It does. 116 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:21,680 Radical acceptance brought to you by... 117 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:22,680 Bollinger. 118 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:23,680 Bollinger. 119 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:25,680 Where are you Bollinger? 120 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:34,680 So I found this year, so whenever I feel frustrated, whenever anyone feels frustrated, it's based on a few things. 121 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,680 It's mainly that your expectations aren't being met. 122 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:44,680 So our frustration is often triggered by you expecting something to happen or something to not happen and then the opposite is happening. 123 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:55,680 And so every time that happens, you obviously get stressed, your brain releases adrenocortico-tropic hormone, which was spoken about so many times. 124 00:20:55,680 --> 00:21:02,680 And then you have to battle yourself back to normality and get back to the norm. 125 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:07,680 So I'm going to prime my brain every morning and every night. 126 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:17,680 So every night I'm going to prepare for the next day of radical acceptance and every morning when I wake up, I'm going to set that intention for the day of radical acceptance. 127 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:22,680 What I mean by that is I'm not going to try and control what I cannot control. 128 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:27,680 So expectations not being met when you get frustrated, you're focusing something you can't control. 129 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:28,680 It's already happened. 130 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:35,680 So what I'm going to do is just accept what has happened and then immediately go to what can I do in this situation? 131 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,680 What's within my control? Is there anything within my control? 132 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:42,680 And if there's nothing within my control, just ignore it, just stop thinking about it. 133 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,680 But if there's something within my control, plan what it is and just do it. 134 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:54,680 And so the reason why I'm doing this, I'm always, always, always looking to reduce stress and become more resilient and antifragile and all the things we speak about. 135 00:21:54,680 --> 00:22:04,680 But I've noticed this year that there was a couple of moments where I got frustrated and I allowed myself to sit in that frustration for longer than what I typically want. 136 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:13,680 And it was based on the fact that I couldn't accept what happened and or what somebody had done or what somebody hadn't done. 137 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:18,680 So for me now, 2024, the new rule is radical acceptance. 138 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:22,680 And my rule is that I go to bed planning for it the next day. 139 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:27,680 And when I wake up, my intent for that day is radical acceptance. 140 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,680 So you're marinating in it during the night. 141 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:34,680 Yes, overnight and then bringing it into my conscious mind in the mornings. 142 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,680 Radical acceptance. Let's see how we go. 2024, bring it on. 143 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:45,680 Bring me all of those challenges that are going to challenge my ability to be radically accepting. 144 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:52,680 Yeah. I promise I'll put the lids on the glass containers. 145 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:56,680 I know that's been a frustration. 146 00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:00,680 The fridge containers, yes, that expectation that I have. No, I accept it. 147 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:08,680 No, I just do it for you. 148 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,680 So, charging into the new year, new you. 149 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:12,680 New you Eve. 150 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:13,680 Yes. 151 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,680 Into the new year's Eve. We're going to call it new you Eve. 152 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:18,680 And you can do this any time, any day. 153 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,680 Oh, you can, can't you? It doesn't have to be at the end of December. 154 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:22,680 No. 155 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:30,680 So we're going to, I'm going to sit down this afternoon and I hope you join me and go back and just list off all the things that we've achieved in the year. 156 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,680 And it's, there's 365 days to celebrate. 157 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,680 Get some music happening.

We'll do this more often then. 163 00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:04,680 Yeah, so I'm going to celebrate and then write down the lessons that I've learned from the year, because there is no failure if you learn. 164 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:05,680 That's it. 165 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:06,680 It's exciting. 166 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:10,680 And then, yeah, we've got our new you, our rules ready for the next year. 167 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:14,680 That's right.
