248. Newton’s Law & The Hustle Reframe We All Need Right Now
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We’re BAAAACK!
Whew, after an on again off again podcast return post maternity leave, I’m THRILLED to be back in your ear holes every TUESDAY.
In this episode, I'm breaking down why I brought back the name Hint of Hustle and we’re digging into stagnation in business and how to consciously choose your outcomes.
We're also digging into what happens when you sacrifice long-term strategy with your marketing (spoiler: your sales suffer), and how Newton’s First Law of Motion might be one of the most useful business principles we don’t talk about enough.
Here’s what’s waiting for you:
- Why I changed the name of the show…and then changed it back 🫣
- A different way to think about the role hustle plays in business
- The reframe that turned my biggest frustration into possibility
- What short-term vs. long-term strategy is costing you (and when it catches up)
- Newton's First Law and why momentum in business works the same way
- What's coming next (and why I’m stoked for both of us)
You shouldn’t hustle 24/7, but you do need to move your tush more. Because what’s in motion stays in motion… but to get things moving, YOU must take action. So if you’ve been feeling stuck, this episode will fire you up to make a change.
P.S. If this episode hits a nerve (in a good way) and you know it’s time to stop coasting and make a big move, this is the work I do with my clients. Whether you’re building momentum, preparing for something big, and ready to do the work…let’s talk → start the conversation here.

hey friend, welcome back to the Hint of Hustle podcast. Yes, I said Hint of Hustle after a year of identity crisis, renaming the show. We're back. We're back on the name Hint of Hustle and we are officially in for the next evolution of the show. I have missed you. It has been so long since I have recorded an episode. I think last spring of 2025. Here I am sitting here in the spring of 2026.
It's been a hot minute and so much has happened and I'm just I'm just so happy to be back here today. We're talking about the word hustle and why I want you to rethink it and maybe why I changed the name of the show but had the changed it back. Let's get into it. Going back to last March, I don't remember what episode number that is, but it was when I named the show the Ramble refinery and I was on this
mission coming back from a really long maternity leave, I just had been feeling like I was walking through mud. Let me set the scene here. So I've talked about this many times on the show. So if you are a long time listener, you will know I had another baby in the fall of 2023 at the age of almost 40. And it really disrupted the flow of a lot of things, as you can imagine going from two kids who had just gone off and were in school full time.
to having a baby at home. We moved to Bend, we had no childcare, life just got disrupted in the most beautiful way. And I didn't really have a plan beyond six months, if I'm being honest with you. I assumed that like with my other children, I would put my kid in daycare, but it just didn't feel right. Back when I had my first two children, I worked in corporate. So I had a maternity leave and then we went into full-time daycare for me to go back to work.
After my second baby, I did not really go back to work. Outside of more than a few months, I went back long enough to tell them, hi, I'm leaving and starting my own business, and then kept my kid in daycare as I ramped up my business. Now, I have to set the scene here. So I remember, so that was back in 2018, 2019 when I started my business. Fast forward, I'm getting some great traction.
Everything's going great. I'm like out of the gate. I'm on fire. I launched a program. I launched this podcast in the fall of 2019. My first program sold out. I launched the cohort. I did another cohort. I did another core. I'm getting traction. And then, oh my gosh, a year and so in the world shuts down. And I'm sure you can remember back. I won't try to relive it here, but just imagine for a minute that you're a speaking coach and you teach people how to speak on stages. And then a year and such into your business.
all the stages in the world and public speaking will never look the same. That can be a really scary moment. think every single day, holy shit, so glad I started my business like full time in 2019 versus 2020, because that would have been a rude awakening. But what had happened is I was really able to seamlessly transition into repositioning what I did. Speaking is something that we do every single day as thought leaders, as business owners, we use our voice all the time in a stage.
as I talk about all the time, defined as simply a platform to show your message, whether you're showing up on video or on a podcast or on a physical stage or teaching inside a Zoom room, you're using your voice all the time, right? You know this because I've talked about this for years. So in 2020 shifting into serving online entrepreneurs, I mean, I want to say it was no big deal. mean, obviously it was a big deal, but that shifted really well. But the thing for me in the fall of 2020, I remember that was the moment where I was like, oh, shit, I was
logging into a group mastermind that I was on with some peers. And I remember sobbing on that zoom call, because a couple weeks before my oldest at the time had gone from child, like full time childcare at daycare, which he loved at preschool, even in the pandemic, they still had it open a very small group. But what had happened was he was going to kindergarten, but kindergarten was on zoom. And holy crap.
I was not used to having a kid home full time. I was used to having space and just capacity and freedom to run my business and do what I freaking love and work with my clients and work with my groups and create content. just need a lot of space and alone time. And that was removed from my life. All of a sudden I'm sitting there running this business that I had worked my ass off to get up to the level it was. And then I had one of the most important people in the world to me sitting next to me.
the time it was my five-year-old son Owen and he was trying to navigate going from seeing friends every day to seeing these stranger kids on zoom in kindergarten. He like he struggled with it and I realized that my spacious days had shrunk down to maybe five hours a week. I could get coverage. My husband worked full-time. He also was in a huge
transition at work trying to figure out how the heck do I go from seeing clients in person to on zoom and his company wanted them to go in there was just a lot happening. So the childcare fell on me. That's why I started my business. I wanted the freedom and flexibility to be able to be home with my kids when I wanted to. Well, I just didn't know it would be that much. And I remember sitting on that mastermind call on zoom. I was ugly crying and I couldn't control it. Right. And I'm not the kind of person I don't like to break down in front of other people. I just
but I couldn't figure it out. I just don't have enough time. I just don't have enough time to do this. And I kept saying that over and over again. I was so frustrated with the situation and I just had to let it go. I just had to let it go and work with it. And it all worked out, obviously. Fast forward, I'm here today. I still have a business doing great. But at that time, I remember just not knowing how I was gonna get through that, but I did.
and it was a different season in my life and my business, but we got through it. Eventually he was able to go into school and I got back into like on the tracks back on the train. Well, fast forward, as I mentioned that moment when I had my third baby in the fall of 2023, I found myself in this position yet again, where I then had a baby at home.
and I had a business to run and we had moved to a city where we had no family around and I don't know how to vet and find childcare. I couldn't really figure out anything that felt right for me. I didn't need full-time childcare. I just needed some help, but also strangers are terrifying. What am I gonna do with this little baby? All these things going through my head that it just worked out. We just kept him at home. And my husband who's working at home, we would just toss the baby back and forth to each other. I would do a call, he would take the baby. He would do a call, I'd take the baby. Like we just made it work. So many of us do in business, right? We just do our work in the cracks.
of our day. And it's a beautiful thing. would not trade it for anything. I would never go back to corporate because I love my freedom. And still, it's really hard, isn't it? I know you're sitting here going, yeah, my gosh, I've had these seasons too. Maybe it's a baby. Maybe it's not right. Maybe it's taking care of your parents or maybe you're going through a really hard season with your own health. Like all these things happen that it gets us to start questioning like, what am I doing here? And we start feeling the constraint. And I felt that in 2024.
in 2025 and even when I felt like I was getting my mojo back last spring when I was able to crack out some episodes, I realized I did not have the capacity to hold space for this podcast. And just saying that, that's a cheesy face or cheesy phrase like the capacity to hold space, like who the fuck am I right now? But it was the, just wouldn't work for me because I only had, I only had like maybe eight to 10 to 12 hours a week to run my business. And I had to prioritize
listen to me when I say this, I had to prioritize revenue generating activities. So what we really have to keep in mind as business owners is there are long-term investments that we make with our time and there are short-term investments that we make with our time. You have to really understand the difference between the two. And if you do too many short-term for too long, it's gonna be felt because you don't have the long-term strategy to able to fuel. So for example, I took the short-term strategy where I was
focusing on private client work, getting the referrals, doing some things behind the scenes and it was all working great. But when I went to go launch my group program, this is the first time I'll say this publicly, when I went to go launch my group program, it was a raging flop. And by raging flop, literally, literally no one signed up. Literally no one signed up. Now granted, I say that, I had 10 existing clients that signed up for the program.
but no new clients show up. And I would love to do an episode actually debriefing, because I'm just glazing right over this piece of my absolute failed launch and why it was the best thing that happened to me. So let's just tuck a pin in that and I promise we will circle back and hit up that in the near future on an episode. Ping me on Instagram and remind me that you want to hear the story and the lessons learned from that. But.
All that to say is what was happening is I had not done my long-term strategy. I wasn't creating content. I wasn't showing up for the podcast. I wasn't doing guest speaking. All the things that might not have an immediate ch-ch-chang, chang, chang, but they have a long-term chickadee-chang, chang, chang. If you know what I mean, you build relationships. And if you have a business that launches courses, group programs, digital products, you have to build trust over time. I actually find that my private clients,
They trust me pretty quickly. They hear my stuff. They know they wanna work with me. We close it on a sales call or in like voice chats. They don't need a runway to think because they're clear on their problem. They're clear that I'm the one for them, whether they referred by someone else or they binged on my podcast and like, yep, this person knows her stuff. It doesn't take much for me to convert a one-on-one client. And I'll tell you, these clients are paying between six and $40,000. I don't say that to like, like, woo, look at me. I'm saying that the...
price point and the decision making of that kind of buyer is different than a buyer who's spending a couple hundred bucks, a couple thousand bucks. And I think, you know this to be true, right? When you've made a bigger investment before, you have a very hyper, need a very specific person that you're, or a topic that you're working on. You can make, and maybe it's just different buyers, right? But you can make decisions pretty clearly. But when it becomes to the decision of a buyer, of someone who's gonna be doing the work themselves,
right, whether it's DIY or even if you're in a group program, you're still doing the work yourself. We are a little bit more careful with our decisions, which means we have a slower time to build. And that's where going back to long form or long term, having a podcast, having a source of content where you're sharing your thought leadership, continuing to stay on people's radars, those are things that might not have a direct return in this moment, but they build longevity over time.
I share this with you because I didn't do much of that work in 2024 or 2025 out of sheer, I just did not have the time to do it and I had to pick and choose. And I chose my child, I chose my health, I chose my sanity and I chose my clients. And it had a result of that. But as I was sitting in the fall of last year, right, I had taken some time off the podcast. I'm like, I just have to start getting shit off my plate because there is just too much. go through these seasons.
where instead of for me, instead of just doing it all and being burned out, I go, what can I take off my plate? Does it actually have to happen? And the podcast was one of those pieces. A lot of times the last couple of years, my email didn't go out to my list or I didn't post on social media for months at a time. Am I encouraging this? No, but I'm telling you it's okay to protect your sanity, your outside of work life, your health, whatever that is, it's okay to choose those things over these things that you think you have to do in your business.
But I found myself last September, yet again in the exact same conversation. I was in Eugene, Oregon at a peer mastermind my friend Karin had hosted at her house. And I remember sitting there, she knows I'm a human design, into human design and I'm a manifestor. And she knows that I really don't like hot seats and to be told by other people their opinions around what I should do. Cause it kind of enrages me. It's not how I operate as a manifestor. has to come from within. And that sounds really egotistical. But if you know human design, you know this to be true.
that the best things for me are the ideas that bubble up and I have this urge that I have to carry them out immediately and those are the best things in the world. So she knows this about me. So when it was my hot seat for the mastermind, she just gave me space to talk. And I kid you not, the words coming in my mouth were, just don't have enough time. I don't feel busy. Let me just preface this. I didn't feel busy. I didn't feel overwhelmed. I didn't feel stressed because I had all this capacity in my day.
I mean, I was playing with a baby, we were going on walks, I was going to the gym, I was baking sourdough. Like, I was living an incredible life and I wasn't busy. But when it came to my business, I did not have space to do what I wanted to do. I wanted to hit it little bit harder, if you know what I'm saying. I enjoy work, but I felt constrained. I only had, I remember saying this, I only had 13 hours a week to get it all done and it was driving me bonkers.
So of course, the gals in the room couldn't help it. We're offered maybe you need childcare, maybe you need this, maybe this, all these suggestions and they were really well, like well intended. But I remember driving home from Eugene back to Bend. It was about an hour and a half drive. And I remember thinking through this. I only have 13 hours a week. I only have 13 hours a week. And I realized, holy shit, I've been here before.
I hadn't seen it. I've been here before. I remember the mastermind from 2020 and I'm like, my gosh, I'm literally living the exact same problem again. And as they say, the universe keeps serving you up the same freaking problem until you learn the lesson. Well, this was my moment. It took me a couple of weeks to really sit with this. But I realized I was being a dumb dumb because I was continually telling myself I only have 13 hours a week to run my business.
The moment I questioned that statement and realized that that statement in itself was creating the constraint, shit changed. Let me say that again. The moment that I realized that that statement, I only have 13 hours a week to run my business. That is what was creating the constraint is because I was seeing that as a choking off of my creativity. I was seeing that as a putting chains on me and holding me down and not allowing me to do what I wanted to do.
using the same words but with a different meaning. asked myself, what if I only spent or what if I only worked 13 hours a week in my business? What if I only worked 13 hours a week in my business? You see how that becomes a, shit, I run my business in only 13 hours a week. That became exciting. I started thinking like, that actually would be really cool story. What if?
I ran my business in just 13 hours a week and the business grew. What if it became my mission to be as efficient and as effective as possible to run my business in 13 hours a week? And just that reframe of I only have 13 hours a week to run my business and I run my business in only 13 hours a week. You see that? Similar words, almost the same words, different meaning, more importantly, a different vantage point. I started seeing that as a really incredible challenge. I started seeing that as like how freaking freeing could that be?
And that's when I completely changed my schedule. Same hours, different schedule. My husband and I got on the same exact page. We started going, okay, this is not working. We can't just keep doing the shuffle back and forth. We need to operate in a different way. So this is when I started shifting my work behaviors. Instead of saying, I'm gonna try to chunk them out.
started going to the office because he he got a side note got a promotion he got a new job he got a practice here in bend my husband's a financial advisor so he had some responsibilities so it was going to take shape differently for me it meant that i was going to have even less time but for me i'm like i can run my business in just 13 hours a week what does that look like so i started looking at things in different ways that's meant for me as i go to my hit class my gym every monday wednesday and friday morning for the 6 a.m class and on mondays and fridays right after
I go right next door to the coffee shop and I work for three hours. Yes, that means I work super sweaty. I don't really care. I probably should get up and stretch and move around, but whatever, those three hours are fricking fire because I get so much done. Those three hours are protected. They're mine. I get to eat or drink a fancy coffee and I have a little breakfast sandwich and I don't have to worry about packing lunch boxes or getting kids ready for school because my husband does all that. And I just get a beat.
So boom, there's six hours a week that I do that. Then I have additional times where I have call blocks in the afternoons on those days and then pocketed in one other area each week. But what it's done, I share all this with you, not because you need to copy my schedule or I just wanna encourage you the reframe of me of going, but what if, what if I did it a different way? What if I looked at the same situation in a different perspective? It has been the most empowering thing and I've been running my business this way for the last four and a half months and holy crap.
it has been this beautiful change. only revenue wise, are we making more sales, I'm having really great experiences with clients. I am rebranding my business in from being a speaking coach to working more into the high performance lane for visible leaders. We'll talk about that in the next episode. But there's a lot of things that have been going on. But I want to share this with you is sometimes you're in a season where you need to slow down and get your shit together.
Sometimes you're in a season where you feel like you were on fire and going so freaking fast. And I want to build more appreciation and more embracing ness. I'm not going to go with that. Of understanding that it's not always going to be on all the time in your business. You're not always going to be on fire in your business. And that's totally freaking normal. But here's what I want you to hear.
Over the last six, seven years, there's been lot of conversations around the word hustle. And a lot of people shit on that word. We are over hustle. We don't want to hustle anymore. Like we are in a different phase. And when I launched Hint of Hustle, it was a rebrand of my previous show. When I launched it in 2022, 2023, when I relaunched it,
I brought this idea that hint of hustle, that's my way of operating, hint of hustle. And I want to link to that original episode here. And I think it was January of 2023. You can get an idea of what hint of hustle stands for and maybe revisit it. But unlike a lot of people, I have a really positive relationship with the term hustle. I grew up a soccer player. And when you ran off the field, if you were subbed out, you hustle your ass. You showed that you didn't waste time and that you care, you had respect.
for the team, respect for the coach. We hustled in at the end of practice to huddle up as a team. Hustle was a form of respect. It was when you were a pro level, you hustled, right? Didn't mean that like you were hustling all the time, right? But hustle is ingrained to you when you're an athlete. Now for me, when it comes to business, I understand burnout. I understand if you're operating 100 miles an hour all the time and you're grinding.
and grinding, yeah that's not sustainable. That's not what hustle is. Let me be clear, hustle is not burning your ass all the freaking time with mediocre results or even really great results. Like that's not what hustle is. Hustle is a sign of respect for what you're doing. And for me, I have a great amount of respect for the work I do. I also understand Newton's law of inertia.
Have you ever thought about this before? So think about the word of inertia of things that are in motion stay in motion. Stick with me here for a minute. Have you ever in your business just felt like sludge? You can't come up with any ideas. You feel like you're in a rut. You can't really find your groove, whether it's posting on social again or creating content again, or maybe in a podcast. Like you feel in your rut and all you're getting is that you're in a rut. Yeah, I've definitely been here. I just share with you a lot of it. And what happens is the law...
not newton's law i think it's murphy's law i don't know it's a law i have it up here on the browser hold on what's the freaking law what stays in it is newton's law newton's first law of motion okay so what i want you to think about here the law newton's law of motion what's in motion stays in motion that means that a rock that's sitting on a table is going to continue to sit on a table a rock rolling downhill is going to
roll down hidden hill and pick up steam. What's the difference between the two? An action to get that rock off the fucking table and on a hill. You have to have an action that makes the difference. So if you're sitting on your ass in your business and you're feeling uninspired, you're feeling ugh about social media, you're feeling ugh, you're in a rut, right? Or maybe you're doing awesome in business. Maybe you're like, but it's like more of the same and you're getting bored.
What's in motion stays in motion. What that means is how you're feeling about things right now is not going to change unless you make a concerted effort to change. And I'm gonna say concerted effort very intentionally here because there's effort involved to change anything in your life and business. And the world that we're in right now is we're sold this idea that if you just get a course, if you just know the one thing, if you just apply this framework, if it's just one thing, then everything's gonna be like the same.
Oh, you need to get better at your social media marketing, buy this course and it's going to save everything from you. Ooh, you want to get on more stages? Ooh, buy this stage kit to help position you as a pro speaker so that you can go pitch, blah, blah, blah. Oh, you want to get healthy or get a six pack? Here's this program that's going to tell you exactly what all these things. Now all of this, and you might actually sell some of these products right here. It's all great. But what we need to fucking talk about.
is the difference between the information someone's gonna give you and the result that you want is you moving your fricking ass and doing the work. You gotta hustle. You gotta hustle. And for anyone to sit here and think about the fact that you don't have to hustle to achieve anything great, it's absolutely delusional thinking. Anything that you want is on the other side of you hustling your ass off. Does it mean that you're gonna hustle forever? Does it mean you didn't hustle 24 seven? No, but it means you have respect.
for the game. If you're not making sales in your business right now, show me your calendar to tell me where you're doing sales calls. you don't have sales calls in your calendar? Show me where you're inquiring to get people onto sales calls. If you don't do sales calls, let's say you sell a digital product, show me exactly where you're marketing, where you're talking about that product. And if you're doing it in like, I don't talk about those things. I just organically want people to discover my genius and then just buy the thing.
That's not how business works, Sally. It's not how it works. You need to hustle your ass and direct them at the results you want. Let me give you an example here personally, because I'm not attacking you right now. I'm part of this, right? I wasn't getting the sales I wanted for my group programs. That's a me problem. I wasn't doing the hustle that it would take to consistently launch a group program. Now there's reasons why. And again, I'll debrief that in another episode, but personal example.
I still have diastasis, diastasis, whatever that's called, my abs are separated, which if you've been moving well, you know that's happened before with my last baby. Here I am two and a half years postpartum. Those abs are still not put back together because I bought the program. I have the rehab stuff. I have all the things. I've even opened the app and I look at it and I have zero desire to do the breathing exercises and the kegels and the...
I hate it with my whole heart and I don't want to do it. And yet I want the results of it. It's not a situation where I can just manifest my abs back together. You know what's going to do it? Doing the work. I have to hustle. Now I put the word hustle here. Most people think hustle means like, it's going to be hard. Yeah, you know, it's probably going to be hard. It's going to be hard, but here's the interesting thing.
It doesn't need to be hard and it shouldn't be hard in that area forever. Learning new skills. So for example, I'm just gonna stick with my apps here for a minute. I know that if I did those breathing exercises every single freaking day, I know it's gonna suck. The program is 84 days. I know sure as shit at the end of the 84 days, my apps are going to be back together. Are they gonna be perfect? Probably not. But am I gonna have to do that stupid breathing thing for the rest of my life? No, I'm gonna able to progress and move into the kind of work that I want to do.
which is stronger lifting. I want to get back into running. I have all these other things, but I have to do that little bit first. Now for you, if you're not making the sales you want in your business, what does the hustle look like? Do you need to take more one-on-one clients and hustle and fill up your calendar with more one-on-one clients to get through this season so that you have the capacity to do the other things? Do you need cash so that you can spend your time doing the things that you want on the long term? There's trade-offs here. Time and money is the trade-off, but you have to choose
What are the areas in your business that you are neglecting that if you spent a concerted effort, if you got shit into motion, it would gain momentum and start rolling downhill. This is why I restarted the show. This is why we are back to hint of hustle and why I am rapid firing back at you. We're coming in real hot again here on the podcast because I know you need this. I need this. I'm doing this for me, but I'm doing this for you because this whole like
just go with the flow and feel good. That was really great. And it got us through the pandemic and it got us through this time where it was like, yes, we're building these businesses, but now brass tacks people. Like we got to do the work because we're in an environment right now. I won't get into this too much yet. We're in an environment right now where it's very, very, very easy for someone to show up online and make it seem like they know what they're talking about through their content. I don't know if you've noticed there's like AI.
um accounts online that are like people's ai twins sharing information i don't even know if it's real information but people like in the health industry they're falling for it these stories of this fake it's not a person it's like a fake robot but of a person talking and sharing the story and then selling health products and programs that is terrifying if you're a health coach and you actually help people right and you work with people and you know the nuances of health and all the
That's terrifying. That's where the world we're in right now. So I bring this up is because you are really freaking good at what you do. And now is the time that I want you thinking about, do I want to level up how I'm showing up? Do I want to really move the dial on this business? Am I going to kick it into high gear? And if that's you, stick around because on this show, of course, we're not going to start talking about like
No offense, buddy, but like Russell Branson or what's that dude's name with the no strip. You know who I'm talking about, right? go bro all the time. I don't have that kind of time, nor do I want to. I'm really loving this whole running my business in 13 hours a week kind of thing. Sometimes a little bit more when I'm excited and I can do things during nap time, but I want, I want, I like my, my ambition for the impact that I want to make hasn't changed. My ambition hasn't changed, which means
that there's going to be times where I'm going to need to sprint because I have somewhere I'm going and it's going to take work to get there. And have you been like nodding your head along going, hell yeah. Like, yeah, I have big, I have big ambition. have big dreams and I've been dragging my feet a little bit. I've kind of been like, yeah, I've been, I've been kind of coasting. We're done coasting bitch. We're like.
Buckle up, here we go. I've sworn a lot in this episode, sorry. Spicy Heather's in full force today, so hopefully the kids aren't around, but I have the show marked as explicit, so you add a warning. But this is the time for us to hit the gas pedal. And don't confuse that with burnout. Like I said, don't confuse what I mean by that. But hustle is showing reverence and respect for the game that you're playing. And if you're in the game of business, let's kick it up a gear. And I think, I think deep down, you're cravin'.
a little bit of an ass kicking. So that's what you can expect on this new evolution of Hint of Hustle. I'm back. I will be back every single week with a new episode, a lot of solo episodes, because you're going to hear me on fire. This is a lot of work I'm doing. I'll share with you more about behind the scenes of my failed launch, what the transition in my business is. I made a little nod to that, that I'm pivoting away from being a quote unquote speaking coach.
I still will be talking about speaking. still will be teaching speaking, but you're going to notice a different flavor of the work that I'm doing, who I work with, what I work with people on. have a really big vision for that. can't wait to share with you, but mostly I just want to say I've missed you. Welcome back. I hope that you have had a really good year. I hope that you are feeling a bit on fire. I hope that you're feeling that itch in a good way that you are ready to grow.
because this next season is going to be, it's gonna be hard work and it's going to be some of the most fun, exciting work if you choose to look at it this way. Just like I was looking at my time as a constraint, you can look at this industry right now and be terrified of AI. You could be terrified of the algorithm isn't serving up your stuff anymore or now I have to get on Substack and you can choose to bitch and complain about the world around you or you can choose to see this as the
biggest, most freaking incredible opportunity ever. The fact that we get to do the work that we do from our like home pajamas, whatever, like this is incredible. And I choose to focus on that. And because I have that focus, I have the absolute full confidence that I'm gonna freaking kill it. And I believe in you too. So let's go make it happen together. I'm so happy to be back. I will catch you on the next episode. Go forth and hint of hustle. I'm going to need to sign off for this. So TBD on that one. Okay. Love, love. Talk soon. Bye friend.
