“I'll very often get disappointed at myself, disappointed with our team if I feel like we didn't reach what we were supposed to reach or achieve.

History most often belongs to the analysts, but from time to time what's needed is a person to step up & do the thing.
Maybe, just maybe, @BetoORourke will.
