Yeah. And say what's up to Fire Nation and share something that you believe about becoming successful that most people disagree with. I love this question. Um So I think most people would disagree with the fact that I think I got a lot of my advancements and success by doing some of the thankless, seemingly invisible tasks. So some people might jump in and wanna be seen and establish their leadership and have the loudest voice in the room, but I really got a lot of my early success by being the one who is consistently there and reliable and earning the trust.

Behind the scenes. Well, I'm looking forward to tying that into the whole theme of this interview, which is betting on yourself, Fire Nation, because at the end of the day. Who better to bet on than you? So As I mentioned briefly in the intro, Ann, you worked directly for Jeff Bezos in the early two thousands, meaning that you are literally. at the foundation of the internet and e commerce in general. So break it down for th those of us that were either still in diapers or just like not really doing things in the internet e commerce world during that time frame. What the heck was that like?
