Jeff:Number one question would be, were you the one who said it's time to step away from the teams, or did they say, we need some new blood in here? John Foley:The human brain will do that naturally. I want a learning loop. John Foley:Oh, music, just what we're talking about. You're a student pilot, man. I think Erik also, and I, have had many, many conversations because we practice as well, but I wish I would've had that skillset back when things were really, really hectic, whether it was climbing or life or anything else, but I didn't really know it.
