Now it’s a passion of, you know, helping the animals, realizing that those animals that we’re seeing in zoos are doing okay in good zoos, but they’re counterparts in the wild. God. It’s, it’s tough out there, especially Africa where I go a lot. So I changed in, in terms of looking through the animal’s eyes more than just, this is a cool job. And, and then, and I think that has influenced me in many ways, in the way I talk to visitors, guests, donors, the keepers that I hire also, you, you, you can see the genuine empathy is the word we use now. We used to be other words, you know, I used, i I love the doctors, the Lorax book, you know, unless, unless someone cares an awful lot, nothing’s ever gonna be done. It’s not. And and that always in, in influenced me too. I almost get choked up when I talk about that, you know. But I just, I changed and, and I think I changed for the better.
