One of the biggest reasons why change is so scary is that it can threaten our self-identity. One way to have a more secure self-identity is to anchor yourself not simply to what you do, but to why you do that thing. So first of all, I want to say I'm really grateful to be here with my very, very dear friend, Dr. Maya Shankar. We've been friends for like maybe four or five years now.

And honestly, beyond her incredible resume, incredible list of achievements, continued excellence in everything she does, she's just truly one of the sweetest, kindest, most wonderful humans. And so the fact that you've all come out here tonight to support her and hopefully get her book or you've already got it, how many of you have already got the book? Okay, all of you who didn't put your hand up, I want you to get a book by the end of this. Truly I'm just so grateful to be here.

She is she is the kindest, most generous, sweet, loving, wonderful human being. And uh I'm so happy to be here supporting you. So congratulations, Brian. Thank you so much, Jay. It is uh such an utter delight to be in conversation with you about this topic.
