Yeah, simply, I would say if you want to make a career out of this and you want to be serious and be viewed as that being a talking head on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube is not the way to do it. That isn't a. An example of work that almost devalues your position immediately. To get my first free job or working for free position. To get to that, I sent examples of my work, a blog spot that I created where I wrote random things and that was to pass through the gate to a free position. So, yeah, start a substack now. Start a blog spot again, the talking head thing. Whilst you can get some immediate traction in the form of likes or views, that maybe validates your position, it won't take you as far as you maybe would like if you're looking at it from the position of a career. And equally, it depends what the question means exactly. Is there a realistic route for someone to send in a resume today and then be at Anaheim 1 interviewing the riders and then going to San Diego? No, absolutely not. That isn't how it works. There's a process to this. Is there a realistic route where you can send in your resume today and in three years maybe you get to go to a couple of supercrosses? Yeah, that's realistic. But to think it's as turnkey as I'm applying for a job now I'm doing 17 super crosses. Look at me. That just isn't. It just isn't the way it goes. It's a slow process and one you need to kind of be ready for rather than expecting too much. I would say. I'd say, I mean, at the end of the day it is rewarding. I think that's why you don't see exactly. It is a. A job once it becomes a real thing, why it just kind of moves internally is there's only a handful of people that have taken it to that point and it's pretty obvious who somebody wants to go higher and there's a reason why not a lot of us leave the position once we're here. As much as I can complain about travel and all these random things, it's still badass. Yeah, I. At the end of the day, it's one of those things. Sometimes you have to pinch yourself and look in the mirror and go, yeah, life's not that bad. Just shut up, get on with it. Okay. That was a odd turn for the question, but nonetheless, we'll take it. USA asks, if Lewis managed the MXGP social media, what immediate changes would he make? What long term vision would he have? Well, what an interesting question. Let me. But hold on, let me buckle in for this one. I'm gonna sit back and enjoy this.
