>> For me, I mean I find the work very interesting.
I find it very challenging.
A lot of the things I work on there's no easy answers
and there's not necessarily one right answer.
There may be a lot of wrong answers and then a couple of options
that are like, well we'll give it a try.
And that's challenging but also, you know, I like that challenge.
I like being pushed a little bit, so I enjoy that part of it.
But I also feel like I'm contributing in a positive way to both, you know,
advancing American interests and you know global peace and stability, to be cheesy about it.
But that can come in big ways and that can come in little small ways too
and they're all equally important.
Probably honestly one of the biggest challenges for me is trying
to balance work and non work life.
My work tends to be pretty intense.
It doesn't stop when I leave the office,
and when I leave the office often tends to be very late.
So it's, creates, definitely creates challenges in terms of carving out time for myself,
space for myself, and time to spend with family and friends.
But that's a priority for me as well, so you know when it really matters,
I really push and can draw those lines.
But it, that's definitely I think one of the biggest challenges of this kind
of work is you have to sacrifice some of that to just throw yourself into it.
