[5147.70 --> 5149.22] I cannot wait to hear this.
[5149.82 --> 5152.36] If you pull a cog out of something, it's still going to bust.
[5153.16 --> 5155.10] So isn't each cog in its own way a linchpin?
[5155.36 --> 5155.76] Ooh.
[5155.76 --> 5158.68] I think the yes.
[5159.30 --> 5159.74] Okay.
[5160.06 --> 5160.98] To use Andy's.
[5161.04 --> 5161.72] Yes and.
[5162.30 --> 5166.42] So a linchpin is like it all breaks if I break.
[5166.52 --> 5167.46] It all rests on my shoulders.
[5167.58 --> 5171.78] There's far more superiority to some degree, so much more pressure.
[5172.08 --> 5176.68] Whereas if you're just a cog, you can be replaced with another cog that's similar.
[5176.68 --> 5177.00] Oh, I see.
[5177.12 --> 5181.78] Whereas a linchpin is like there's only one of me, and if I break, everything breaks, and there's no replacing me.
[5181.90 --> 5182.16] Okay.
[5182.32 --> 5183.58] So you can't buy another linchpin.
[5183.58 --> 5184.30] It's challenging.
[5184.38 --> 5185.44] Well, linchpins are hard to come by.
[5185.44 --> 5185.84] Okay.
[5186.64 --> 5188.98] I didn't know that part, so I think the analogy holds better.
[5189.06 --> 5191.42] I figure in linchpin, you just got another one somewhere else.
[5191.66 --> 5192.44] Shove it in there.
[5193.08 --> 5194.28] Maybe a stick if you need to.
[5194.60 --> 5194.98] I don't know.
[5195.34 --> 5195.72] You could.
[5196.10 --> 5197.34] The stick might break eventually.
[5197.40 --> 5198.66] Just MacGyver something in there.
[5198.92 --> 5199.96] Some duct tape and some safety pins.
[5199.96 --> 5202.28] We'll have to actually get Seth to talk us through this because.
[5202.30 --> 5202.50] Okay.
[5202.56 --> 5203.88] Because he uses that exact analogy.
[5204.06 --> 5204.98] The whole book's called linchpin.
[5204.98 --> 5206.06] He tells you to be a cog, though?
[5206.60 --> 5206.76] No.
[5206.82 --> 5207.66] He says be a linchpin.
[5207.90 --> 5208.16] Okay.
[5208.44 --> 5208.68] Oh.
[5208.68 --> 5210.92] That part I get, but the cog, you pulled the cog in.
[5211.26 --> 5212.10] I said the cog.
[5212.16 --> 5212.34] Okay.
[5212.34 --> 5212.74] This is me.
[5212.82 --> 5213.50] I made this up.
[5213.60 --> 5213.82] Okay.
[5213.82 --> 5215.34] I'm like, I love that book.
[5215.42 --> 5219.26] I love the idea of that book, but I don't want to be so focused on my importance that
[5219.26 --> 5220.62] I have to be this linchpin with all this pressure on me.
[5220.62 --> 5221.86] He tells you to be the linchpin?
[5222.02 --> 5222.28] Yes.
[5222.28 --> 5223.28] He tells you to be the linchpin.
[5224.22 --> 5227.78] Well, I guess there's job security in that, but it seems like I'd rather be a cog.
[5228.64 --> 5231.16] It's a lot of pressure and a lot of responsibility.
[5231.40 --> 5232.32] I'd rather be a drummer.
[5232.76 --> 5233.08] Yeah.
[5233.52 --> 5234.14] Keep the beat.
[5234.24 --> 5234.60] Keep the beat.
[5234.62 --> 5234.78] Yeah.
[5234.82 --> 5235.24] Keep the beat.
[5235.60 --> 5239.88] Because, you know, it's like linchpins are great for a business, but they sure do get
[5239.88 --> 5240.64] divorced a lot.
[5240.74 --> 5241.10] You know what I mean?
[5241.14 --> 5242.28] It's just like, you know what I mean?
[5242.28 --> 5243.22] It's like the 10Xers.
[5243.34 --> 5243.62] Yeah.
[5243.62 --> 5244.68] It's like the linchpins.
[5244.94 --> 5245.82] Be the 1Xer.
[5245.82 --> 5246.46] 1Xer.
[5246.62 --> 5248.36] You know, that might run things poorly.
[5249.40 --> 5251.58] You know, it's the, I'm very important.
[5251.58 --> 5252.56] I can't be replaced.
[5252.74 --> 5253.56] I'm super crucial.
[5254.26 --> 5259.64] And yeah, there's unhealthy balances, I'm sure, that ensue as a result of calling yourself
[5259.64 --> 5260.06] a linchpin.
[5260.14 --> 5264.90] Whereas if you're a very purposeful cog, that's where I fight for.
[5265.00 --> 5269.26] Like if I know my purpose and I can deliver that purpose and I'm 14, because a cog is not
[5269.26 --> 5272.22] an individual or it's, a cog is not, yeah, not an individual.
[5272.36 --> 5273.18] It's a part of a larger whole.
[5273.22 --> 5273.40] Exactly.
[5273.58 --> 5275.78] So if you understand the working system, you're part of the working system.
[5275.86 --> 5278.72] But if you're a linchpin, it's like, well, it doesn't work unless I work.
[5278.80 --> 5279.10] I see.
[5279.12 --> 5279.40] You know what I mean?
[5279.40 --> 5280.72] There's a difference in psychology there.
[5280.72 --> 5281.02] Yeah.
[5281.02 --> 5281.56] In my opinion.
[5282.04 --> 5282.48] I like it.
[5282.70 --> 5285.86] As long as you have some spare cogs, because otherwise you pull a cog out, the whole thing
[5285.86 --> 5286.26] falls apart.
[5286.36 --> 5286.76] For sure.
[5287.08 --> 5287.90] Especially on a watch.
[5289.56 --> 5289.78] Anyway.
[5290.40 --> 5290.88] All right, Angie.
[5291.04 --> 5291.48] Well, thank you.
[5291.62 --> 5292.08] Thank you.
[5292.18 --> 5292.32] Yeah.
[5292.36 --> 5293.78] It was wonderful catching up with you guys again.
[5293.90 --> 5294.54] It's always fun.
[5294.74 --> 5295.06] Okay.
[5295.06 --> 5301.34] You know, I really have to agree with Dr. Don Foster.
[5301.34 --> 5302.34] That catching up with people.
[5302.34 --> 5305.34] That catching up with people is really, really good.
