Oh, my hook was a little weak there. Or, oh, you know, it droned on too long. Or, I don't really have a point. Maybe this shouldn't have been a story. Maybe it should have been something else. And so, hundred reps for each one, you try to say, what's one thing I could do better than last time? Just one thing. That's it. And then you just keep going.
