Congratulations both for your achievement and for taking the time to invest in some self-awareness and growth. I don't know how many people successfully complete the Advanced Rock Guide Course, but in my experience, very few people invest in that kind of self-reflection and meaning-making from set-backs, so well done you! As far as humble pie, being a parent serves it up regularly. :-D

Thank you! I am very proud! It's good to know there will be some more pie served to me later when I become a parent. I'm getting better at dealing with it in my diet.

Congrats!

High-performing folks have used the "slow is smooth, smooth is fast" strategy to accomplish complex or difficult tasks in places like special forces, medicine, and sports.

I frequently recall the saying before jumping out of airplanes ;)

It's really cool to hear how it worked for you, and you set a PR!

Thanks, Drake. It's cool to hear how you deploy a similar mantra/mindset when the task in front of you requires nothing but excellence. One day we are jumping together!
