The Agency Era
A guide to getting shit done.
Hey Everyone!
Happy Sunday and welcome back to The Gunn Show. Hope you all had a fantastic week!
It was a big one on our end and we have some exciting news to share - for the first time, we can now say that we are officially home owners! After a long back and forth process, Thursday morning saw us finally close on our new house in the northern part of the DFX metroplex. We are some kind of excited to have our own space and continue planting our roots in the Dallas area (and to finally get Luna her yard!). A couple of pictures of the new place:
Now, onto this week’s edition of the newsletter. This is a piece I’ve been wanting to write for a long time, which centers around a red-pill concept I think many are overlooking in our modern era: you have complete and total agency to accomplish anything and everything, you want - if only you have the courage to try. In a world of ever expanding opportunities and resources, ordinary people are capable of accomplishing the extraordinary with but a simple combination of vision, determination, and resourcefulness. These are my thoughts on what that process of just doing the damn thing looks like, through the lens of what we will call agency.
Let’s get to it.

The Agency Era
For 6 years as a kid growing up in Kingsport, Tennessee, school at Thomas Jefferson Elementary School started the exact same way.
Get dropped off out front. Walk into the classroom and grab your supplies for the day’s upcoming adventure. Sign in on the board. Take your seat. Patiently wait for the school intercom to kick on at 9AM. Spend 15 seconds reciting the Pledge of Allegiance with your classmates. Pay attention to (or ignore) the daily announcements - and pray for an early release. And finally, to bring everything to a close, listen to the school’s tagline and words of advice: “Make it a great day or not - the choice is yours.”
A 180 day long school calendar means that from kindergarten to fifth grade, myself and my fellow classmates followed that same routine no less than 1080 times. But reflecting back, what stands out the most is not the fact that we did the routine so much as how little we thought about it - especially as it relates to that phrase that brought the morning routine to a close each day. And ultimately, the lesson it was intended to teach.
”Make it a great day or not - the choice is yours.” 11 words concealing a simple truth behind them, one I was remiss to understand for all those years. What follows is a story of that long lost lesson, recently found; of the power contained in that phrase from Thomas Jefferson Elementary all those years ago.
It is a tale about the ability of humans to get things done through the power of choice. Of our ability to take our lives into our hands and make them what we wish. Of our capacity to bend the world to our wills.
This is the story of agency: a force that has existed throughout the arc of humanity, quietly shaping how the world operates - and more importantly, what it rewards.
Let’s begin.
Scene Setting
First, a definition.
Throughout history, the word agency has taken on countless forms.
We can trace its roots through ancient history, all the way back to the Latins and their word agentia - a concept which centered around the ability of people to ‘initiate action or exert influence’. The Greeks later defined it in a similar manner but with a different moniker - praxis, which placed a special emphasis on ‘purposeful action’. During the time of the Renaissance, it came to be known as potestas - a specific reference to the ‘power’ or ‘authority’ of individuals to make decisions and influence their surroundings.
Pressing fast forward, we find that its modern version first appeared back in 1943 - when a then century old dictionary by the name of Webster’s defined it as the following:
Agency (n): The capacity, condition, or state of acting or exerting power.
Different times, different meanings. And yet, while agency has shape shifted along with the sands of time, there is a commonality to be found under the surface of its many definitions if we look closely enough. When boiled down, it is ultimately about one thing above all else: action, taken by humans, with the intent to to influence the world in a way that meshes the vision they have for it.
So for our purposes, let’s define it more simply as the following: agency is the ability to get done the things you want to get done; the ability to bend the world to your will.
And a brief history lesson teaches us exactly how powerful that concept can be.
The Arc of Agency
If you study the arc of humanity through the lens of agency, you will notice a few peculiar things.
The first is this: the world moves in a simple, predictable pattern - from less agency to more. As time inches forward the capacity of humans to accomplish ‘things’ is ever increasing, such that with each year, each month, and each day, new possibilities emerge for what we are capable of as a species.
The expansion in human capabilities is a direct result of invention and advancement. Of innovation. Because after all, this is what innovations do - they take something previously thought impossible for humans and make them possible instead. New ideas lead to new technologies, and new technologies lead to new solutions. The result is a daily upgrade in our superpowers as a species, and with those new powers in hand we are able to take action in novel ways to influence the world around us.
So in many ways, the story of agency and the story of innovation are but one and the same. To see this, lets consider some examples of invention throughout history across three different buckets - transportation, energy, and communication:
From a zoomed out, categorical perspective, we notice that each of these technology buckets have enhanced human agency in specific ways:
Transportation → New inventions increase human autonomy in moving self, others, and goods through space.
Energy → New inventions increase human autonomy in harnessing and utilizing various power sources.
Communication → New inventions increase human autonomy in sharing information across time and space.
The more innovation occurs within in an individual sector of society, the more capable humans are of accomplishing things within it. Take transportation, as an example. In the 5000+ years between the invention of the wheel (3500 BC) and the invention of the airplane (1903 AD), we have taken quantum leaps in terms of both how much we can move through space and how quickly we can do so. Travel that used to take months is now instead condensed to hours.
Another thing worth mentioning here is that this process is progressive - meaning that innovation slowly builds upon itself over time. Frequently, we like to tell the story of singular inflection points that changed everything - such as the iPhone moment or the launch of the first Facebook page. But to do so is to neglect reality. Yes, there are critical points in the history of invention that create an entirely new world - but they themselves are only enabled by all of the inventions that preceded them. Social Media only exists as a function of the scaffolding provided by the Internet, in the same way that the iPhone was only made possible by the advancements in computing technology that came before. The story of innovation is thus more akin to a Lego project - prior pieces fit together to create something bigger and better.
An important key to realize is that there is a time component to this process - and the pace with which it moves is ever changing. In the early years of humanity, the clock was ticking slowly — but the further we move into the future, the faster the hands start to move. To see this, let’s look within two of the aforementioned buckets and map out some spacing between inventions:
Transportation: 5200 years between the invention of the wheel/cart and the invention of the steam engine → 176 years between the invention of the steam engine and the automobile → 17 years between the invention of the automobile and the airplane
Communication: 4640 years between the invention of writing and the invention of the printing press → 400 years between the invention of the printing press and the invention of the telegraph → 150 years between the invention of the telegraph and the invention of the internet → 16 years between the invention of the internet and Facebook/Twitter
With each invention, the time between the prior standard and the new one seems to compress. So not only does the world arc from an environment of less innovation - and thus less agency - to more, but the pace at which that pattern occurs is only speeding up with time. The more we create, the faster it happens. And vice versa.
It is the pairing of these two recognitions - that human agency is ever increasing at a pace that is ever accelerating - that gives us a blueprint for living in the future.
Time Travel
With our history lesson complete, let’s reground ourselves in the present so that we may look to the future.
If you take away nothing else from this post, let it be this: we are moving into an era of unparalleled agency, and the people that both recognize and capitalize on this truth will be the winners in the game of life.
It’s a bold statement, but one I strongly believe to be true. Let me explain why.
We’ve already seen that the world moves in a predictable pattern of increasing agency due to the promise of technology and invention, and that the pace at which this process occurs is only accelerating. This has been true for centuries and I see no reason why the same will not apply moving forward.
But another key component of this story is that agency is democratizing at the same time that it is increasing. In fact, the two go hand in hand. The more that technology enhances human capabilities, the more that those capabilities get expanded to everyone - as opposed to a select few.
Why does this matter? Because historically, what an individual could accomplish depended greatly on starting points and resources - where you are from, how much money you started with, the environment you grew up in, and more. Sure, we’ve long heard about the underdog stories of society - the people that came out of poverty or horrible situations to accomplish great things - but we can’t deny that starting a couple squares ahead on the board-game of life increases the probability of you winning the game.
But this is changing. Increasingly, backgrounds are becoming less relevant - where you start from is no longer quite the barrier it used to be. Yes - the privilege effect still carries relevance. But more and more frequently, the only barrier to accomplishment is having a digital device and an internet connection. No longer is your knowledge dependent on your circumstance. You don’t have to be able to afford a Harvard education to become an elite thinker - an ‘internet education’ can get you there just as quickly, if not more effectively.
What this means is that the arc of agency is both a global and local phenomenon - humans are becoming increasingly capable as a species, and the same applies to individuals. And as both technology and agency gets democratized, so too does success. Competition in the world is increasing, and the implications are critical to understand: if you don’t take advantage of increased opportunity, someone else will.
This brings us to a harsh truth - in the coming days, high agency people will pass low agency people in the game of life. When opportunity becomes democratized, the spoils will go to those that seize them.
Note that this does not mean that highly skilled people will surpass lowly skilled people. This is not about skill, per se, because skill depends highly on the specific moment in time at which it is assessed. It is not a static concept - there is no guarantee that a highly skilled person today will be a highly skilled person tomorrow, and vice versa. The world around us evolves, and so to does the bar for success.
Instead, the modern environment is one of want - the vector through which we level up what we are capable of as humans. As technology continues to knock down the barriers that stand in the way of opportunity, the individuals that will grow the quickest will be the ones that master the concept of agency. The logical extension here is that excuses are falling to the wayside, if only because they share an inverse relationship with agency. When there is both more opportunity to be seized and more power to do so, the world’s tolerance for explanations has a heavy bias towards the following statement: ‘Don’t like it? Play better.’
And so, to summarize:
Shifts in technology and global dynamics are increasing the importance of agency exponentially.
Starting points are becoming less and less relevant as the playing field becomes leveled by those same forces.
The resulting landscape is one of abundant opportunity and, consequentially, abundant competition.
Those that take ownership of their lives and exercise their agency to seize opportunities will move ahead of everyone else.
But what does all of this look like in practice, specifically as it relates to you, today?
Agency Today
The same story that has existed for centuries continues to play out where we are now - new people inventing new products so humans can accomplish new things. The modern world, as always, is an era of agency.
To put it into context, I find an analogy from software to be helpful.
As technology companies have proliferated over the last 20+ years alongside the growth of the internet, you’ve likely seen the term SAAS - software as a service - floating around. It describes what many think of as the ‘golden’ business model of the 21st century, in which companies deliver software applications to users over the internet by way of subscriptions.
In terms of efficiency, SAAS is an incredibly low friction model for companies - simply create the software, put it behind a paywall, and let consumers purchase and download it to suit their needs. It is a hybrid blend of both cheap and efficient. And yet while technology business have benefitted heavily from this model, SAAS has been a godsend for users. Rather than needing to rely on on-premise and complex licensed installations, SAAS instead allows users access to powerful software tools and services at but the click of button. The only requirements are a computing device and an internet connection.
In the big picture, what the model has done is democratize software installation and utilization. By abstracting away the complexity of software behind the scenes, it has created a more flexible alternative where users can quickly pay for and acquire the services they need. We no longer need extensive technical programming knowledge or expensive hardware to interact with software - instead, we can simply download what we need, when we need it.
The result of this democratization is simple: more people are capable of tapping into the advanced capabilities of software, allowing them to achieve more with fewer resources. If this sounds like technology enhancing agency to you, then great job - you are catching on.
From my perspective, the companies of the future will do the same thing to the world that SAAS has done for computing, just in a slightly different way: rather than selling software as a service, they will be selling agency as a service.
And in fact, they already are.
Look at virtually any industry in the world, and you will see this trend toward democratization - towards agency - starting to occur. One by one, companies are building products that put power and ownership into the hands of the individual, all selling some version of the same story that we might call ‘The Agency as a Service Manifesto’:
“Take control of your ____”.
What goes in the blank depends on the user’s need, but the options with which to fill it in are ever increasing. Some examples to illustrate the point.
Consider the following list of products from the health, finance, and information management sectors. I’m an avid user of each, for the specific reason that I believe each sells and delivers on a vision to enhance personal agency in a way that prior technologies have not:
Health/Fitness
Whoop (Fitness Wearable) → Take control of your fitness
Levels (Continuous Glucose Monitoring) → Take control of your metabolism
Function (Longevity focused blood testing) → Take control of your bloodwork
DEXA (3D scanning technology) → Take control of your body composition
Finances
Bitcoin/Ethereum (Cryptocurrencies) → Take control of your money
Robinhood (Stock Trading) → Take control of your investments
Information Management
ChatGPT (AI Chatbot) → Take control of your productivity
Notion (Knowledge Management OS) → Take control of your knowledge
From a personal standpoint, these are exactly the type of products that I get most excited to use - and the ones that I am on the lookout for as we move into the future. Ones that give us an increased sense of agency (or ownership) over our own lives. Technologies and companies that allow us to take the world into our own hands rather than needing to rely on bureaucratic institutions or unnecessary middle men. Things that allow us to get more shit done, in less time.
Agency technologies.
Plenty exist already, but more are coming. Because the world, as ever, is arcing towards agency - and the pace with which it is doing so is only intensifying. New companies, new products, new possibilities. And as a result, new opportunities.
So how do we capture them?
The Power of Belief
When it comes to acquiring agency, there is one recognition that supersedes and sets the stage for everything else: it is a mindset, not a skillset.
Agency is not an innate trait - one you are born pre-programmed with as if it is woven into your DNA.. Where you start from says next to nothing about where you will wind up. Because agency is not a biological concept so much as it is a psychological one, one that requires a singular thing above all else: belief.
So the first step in the process of leveling up your agency is in fact quite simple: you must reshape your expectations and convince yourself that you are capable of accomplishing whatever it is that you wish. You must cultivate a conviction that you can bend the world to your will, recognizing that everything you need to do so is already on the table. Because at the end of the day, the path to agency is paved by expectations - and walking it requires you remove the boundaries you place on yourself. The self limiting beliefs that hold you back, the doubts that keep you stuck in place.
Note here that expectations are different from goals. Goals are aspirational - we set them to provide direction for ourselves with the ‘hope’ that we will accomplish them. Goals are meant to be strived for, yet rarely do we find ourselves surprised - or even disappointed - if we do not reach them. If we do - great; if not, then oh well. On to the next one. Put simply, goals are a nice to have.
Expectations are different. They do not revolve around being nice to have so much as they do around being must have. In contrast to goals, expectations are the foundational beliefs about what you should be accomplishing - the standards you have for yourself, the bar you set for your capabilities. The difference is critical. Where others can give you goals to aspire to, no-one else but you is capable of setting your expectations. When you fall short of what you demand of yourself, it hurts. And in that feeling of disappointment is a world of power.
A hidden truth of the world is that high expectations beget better outcomes - and agency carries no exemption in this regard. Raising the bar on your agency requires adapting your expectations.
Once you do, the real work begins, work that comes down to two simple concepts: education and action.
Education
Whatever it is you wish to improve upon, education is the foundation.
Why? Because knowledge forms the basis for effective action - the more we know, the more we understand, the better suited we are to make quality decisions. And the more capable we thus become of accomplishing the things we want.
The concept of education itself is highly ‘agentic’: acquiring knowledge requires two things specifically related to agency - a level of personal ownership over the process and a fair amount of effort. Our brains do not operate like an Apple iOS system - others cannot simply airdrop files to enhance our knowledge base. Instead, they function much more so in a ‘DYOR’ (Do Your Own Research) manner: no-one else is capable of educating you but you. To level up your understanding, and your agency, you have to do the work yourself.
And so, once you have convinced yourself that you are capable of high agency, the next step is simple: take your education into your own hands.
Start by identifying areas you would like to take greater ownership of - things you have been ‘outsourcing’ for much of your life, such as your health or finances. And then do the work to level up your understanding. Dive deep into whatever concept your choose; build up a foundational understanding of the core principles in that domain; set yourself up with the knowledge necessary to take action.
In our modern environment, education is the low hanging fruit of agency. With platforms like Twitter, YouTube, and Tik-Tok having democratized the spread of information, knowledge is more abundant and accessible than ever before in human history. As a result, we have moved from an era of formal education to one of self education: learning now revolves much more strongly around individual initiative than it does institutions and teachers. Whatever you need you can now find - if only you have the agency to go look.
But a word of caution - along with this new environment comes a paradox: information is harder to find than ever, but the same cannot be said for truth. The amount of signal remains constant as the noise grows, making it increasingly difficult to separate fact from fiction (a concept I’ve written about multiple times before).
So, with this in mind, a few words of advice on how to educate responsibly:
Do Your Own Research - As mentioned above, take the perspective that no-one should be responsible for educating you but you. Don’t wait for the right information to make its way to you - go find it yourself instead.
Find Quality Sources of Truth - To avoid falling for false prophets and snake oil salesmen, do the work to find information sources you can trust. Use the 80/20 Principle as a guide here, and recognize that you can get 80% of the information you need on a specific topic from merely 20% (or less) of experts.
Don’t Trust, Verify - Resist the urge to take things at face value - instead, cultivate a habit of verifying. Ask questions about what people tell you is true - consider ways to both validate an invalidate that perspective. Find tools (eg: ChatGPT, Google) that help you fact check.
Once you’ve taken the first two steps on the agency roadmap - convincing yourself you are capable of accomplishing what you want and educating yourself on how to get it - there is only one that remains: act.
Action
If education is the low hanging fruit when it comes to agency, then action is the point of leverage. Because today, in an era where content is abundant and information is cheap, separation lies much more so in the doing of things rather than in the learning of things.
Yes, education is a necessary precursor to action - but it is important to recognize that the two concepts are far from one and the same. The truth is that there is a dichotomy that exists between them, a case of necessary but not sufficient: knowing a thing is the first step towards doing a thing, but action does not follow as a guarantee. There is instead a barrier that lies between knowing and doing - one that requires careful focus and extra energy to surmount.
This has never been as true as it is today, in our relentless content environment where Tweets and TikToks battle for our attention at every second of the day. Most everyone today is running around on a never-ending hamster wheel of education: reading, listening, and watching with no respite, never taking a pause to put any of that newfound knowledge to work. Action has fallen to the wayside - we’d much rather scroll in the name of ‘continuous education’ than do anything with what we learn.
But education - at least in the traditional sense - requires application; the taking of ideas learned in theory and the putting of them into practice. For the tests that defined much of our schooling journeys, this was the ultimate point - they served as mile markers on our educational roadmaps, forcing us to take stock of where we had been, where we were, and where we were going.
Unfortunately, the real world comes with no such assessments baked in - there is no quiz you must take before you close Twitter for the day, no test that forces you to summarize your monthly TikTok insights. So rather than pausing to solidify what we have consumed, we let inertia push us towards more information, more knowledge. The hamster wheel is built to keep turning - unless you bring it to a stop yourself.
The result is a modern paradox: action is less frequent than ever at the exact same time it is easier to take than ever. And in that understanding lies all the leverage you need.
If you consider yourself a person capable of high agency, you should read that statement and come away brimming with excitement. You should sense the opportunity, and recognize that this is one of the most exciting times to be alive in human history when it comes to developing agency. Because as technology continues to decrease the threshold energy needed for action, not only are you capable of doing more things but simply taking the step to actually do them will separate you from others that do not.
So, by all means - educate yourself like everyone else. But recognize that agency is inherently tied to action. It is not enough to learn - you must also do. Some principles that can be helpful in getting started:
Find a Tool - Whenever there is something you want to accomplish, cultivate an instinctual reaction to finding something that can help you along the way. Recognize that one of the great promises of modern technology is that you don’t have to do it alone - tools are meant to help reduce the barriers between us and the things we want. And with each day that passes, the probability of finding a product or company specifically tailored to your problem becomes increasingly likely. More resources are out there than you can possibly imagine - all you have to do is look.
View Money as a Lever - Here is a blunt truth about the world: dollars are a pathway to both increased opportunity and accelerated accomplishment. This has been true for centuries in industries such as education, real estate, and more - and the same principle applies when it comes to agency. A helpful perspective shift is thus to view money as a tool with which you can accomplish more, better; as a lever through which you can work smarter rather than harder. Simply put: you can pay to earn the right to increase your agency - whether that is in your knowledge (eg: books, content subscriptions), your health (eg: supplements, gym memberships, training equipment), or elsewhere. Never second guess paying to invest in yourself.
Become Friends With Failure - By definition, agency requires an expansion in your current capabilities - which in turn necessitates the doing of something new. Yet an unfortunate reality is that the more new things you try, the more you will struggle and fall short. The more you will fail. This process is an inevitability, one that cannot be shortcut else you risk undermining the growth you seek in the first place. And so, to improve your agency you must develop a love for the struggle, an appreciation for the process of being uncomfortable. As one of my favorite quotes says, you must be willing to do today what others will not, so that tomorrow you can do what others cannot. To do so may require you to look a little stupid in the short term - but pay it no mind. Recognize that the struggle is what makes the rewards sweet in the first place, and that the path to high agency necessitates a trip to the moat of low status. The friendlier you become with failure, the better.
Define and Measure Success - Resilience in the face of failure is no small task. New challenges test our confidence just as much as they do our competence, and as such it is a necessity to have continuous streams of motivation to sustain you along the journey. A tried and true method for maintaining forward motion in the agency game is to measure whether or not it is increasing - the more you keep tabs on where you stand, the better you will be able to assess if your energy investment has been worth it. But how the hell do you measure an abstract concept like agency? It’s simpler than you might think - because at the end of the day, agency is merely about what you got done. And so, a simple checklist is all you need - set a clear goal, and check it off once you reach it (more on setting goals here). By making the goal the end point, you will force yourself to get resourceful in how you level up.
To act in today’s world means to set yourself apart from everyone else. Because when it comes to agency, talk is cheap - but action pays.
A Word of Caution
Now, there is an important disclaimer I’d like to make before we close: agency is not an entirely risk-free concept.
Taking ownership of your actions and decisions inherently involves some uncertainty - you must leave the comfort of what you know behind while pursuing the things that you do not. With that comes the possibility - the likelihood, even - of acquiring some bumps and bruises along the way. Because as the old adage says, if you play with fire there is indeed a good chance that you will get burned.
The truth is that we cannot be experts in everything - that is not how the world works. It is too broad and vast, too complex and interconnected for us to become masters of all. This recognition is important to have as we begin taking more ownership over our lives, because the areas in which we lack expertise are the ones that are most rife with the possibility for poor decisions.
As such, it is important to take the perspective of increasing your agency responsibly. And to do so necessitates that you have safeguards in place. You wouldn’t try to cross Niagara falls without a safety net for your first experiment in tightrope walking, and the same should be said for how you go about enhancing your agency.
The key concept to keep in mind here: in the early going of something new, your goal should be to avoid multiplying by zero at all costs. This is a principle borrowed from mathematics, which teaches us that zero is the great equalizer - regardless of the other variables present, everything becomes nullified from the moment that we inject it into a multiplicative equation. 1 million x 1 million gives us 1 trillion, but 1 million x 1 million x zero scales to zero.
In the context of our actions, multiplying by zero says the following: you want to protect against the downside risk of failure as best you can, to eliminate every possible ‘zero’ capable of nullifying the positive progress you have made. Think of the scenario in which you optimize every aspect of your life - your nutrition, your fitness, your sleep - yet decide to drive recklessly without a seatbelt and suffer a fatal car wreck as a result. You have just clearly multiplied by zero - all of the hard work in other areas of your life was eroded in a split second, as a function of one poor decision with no safety net.
The more ruthlessly you design your environment to eliminate the probability of catastrophes from which you cannot recover, the more likely you are to compound on your progress. Note that this does not mean you are optimizing away any possibility of failure - you still need to welcome the small ones that signal you are stretching your current capabilities, the ones that will ultimately lead to the growth you seek. Your goal instead should be the following: strike the balance between catastrophic and productive failure.
Consider the following as an example to illustrate the point:
(a) 1 Million x 1 Million = 1 Trillion
(b) 1 Million x 1 Million x 0 = 0
(c) 1 Million x 1 Million x .1 = 10 Billion
In regards to agency, reality tells us that equation (a) is a complete fairytale - this is the ‘have our cake and eat it too’ scenario, the ‘free money’ scenario, the ‘too good to be true scenario’. We don’t get to grow without stress, to improve our capabilities without trading off against failure along the way. It is never that easy.
The last two equations, however, deal with reality. Equation (b) is the one to avoid at all costs - the result of excessive risk taken with no fallback plan, a recipe for disaster. It is equation (c) that we want - the goldilocks zone of agency where we give ourselves the opportunity to tap into the upside of growth responsibly.
To do so, we must start small - resisting the urge to bite off more than we can chew at the start. What this looks like in practice is akin to bowling in new lanes while making sure there are bumper guards on the side. Things like public speaking opportunities with low stakes, new gym exercises with light weights, or funding your first crypto wallet with a minimal amount of cash. Play with low stakes at the start, and create opportunities for small wins to build the confidence that you - yes, you - are capable of accomplishing new things that you set your mind to.
Because ultimately, agency is a self-fulfilling prophecy - the more conviction you build that you are capable of accomplishing great things, the more likely you will be to do so.
And so to close, one final word of advice: do, or do not; make it a great day, or not. But regardless of what you decide, don’t make any excuses - I don’t have any time for them, and the world doesn’t either. The choice is yours, now more than ever.
It’s the era of agency, and we are only getting started.
