Uh for us too. So for those who are not familiar with Charles' work, he is a journalist. He worked for the New York Times. He's an award-winning journalist, won a Polster Prize, no big deal. He was at uh the New Yorker magazine or still writes the New Yorker magazine, has wrote several books. Uh The Science of Better, that's his newsletter, I should say, excuse me. Um the power of habit.

Super communicators, which we're gonna talk about today. So Charles, all right, I am I am not a supercommunicator. I am not a natural speaker. It took me years to get comfortable speaking into a microphone. And uh as proof that I'm not a super communicator, I'm gonna open with a terrible question, then we'll circle back on to the book and the motivation and what people should learn from the from it and all that sort of stuff. So okay.
