Jeff’s Advice The last minute wisdom I would give to people and they might have already realized this during the pandemic is that no one knows what they're doing. Nobody knows, we're all just making it up as we go along. You think that you know someone that you think does know what they're doing? If you saw the behind the scenes, you'd realize they're as much of a mess as you are. I think the more we tell ourselves that the more we can empower ourselves to be like, being that no one knows what they're doing. I'm the expert of myself. So I am going to figure out what I want to do and I'm going to follow my convictions.
