I can't remember, but it was almost all take home because it was just me, Layla, and I had one assistant over kitchen table.

Like that was the business.

Um, so I was, and we had just gotten married.

I was like living large.

I, and when I say living large, like I spent no money, but I just felt not poor anymore, which was great.

Um, so as I go to this thing, I was like, I don't even know if I should be here.

I'm definitely not making that.

They're like, Oh no, you're going to, you're going to be way past that.

And I was like, I'm glad one of us believes that.

Um, I was just, you know, trying to ride this rocket with both hands.

And so anyways, um, everyone goes, you know, it goes through their presentation and the first guy who got up, um, cause I remember he was like busy.

And so he like, I can't, he either want to go first or last doesn't matter.

And he gets up there and he, and he starts by saying like, so we did $35 million in revenue last year.

And I was like,

what 35 million dollars like i was like one is dope you know like i was three months into making you know pacing higher than that but i never actually like really had to have it at least from an income perspective and so anyways he he gets up there and after he gives this whole presentation he was in the e-commerce world uh someone asked him so where you're at now like what are you doing to invest in your education like what are you doing to invest in learning and

And he said, I made a decision a long time ago that I would have a learning budget.

And so every month, whatever percentage you're comfortable with, maybe it's 1%, maybe it's 5%, maybe it's 10% of my income.

He said, I force myself to spend it.

And I spend it in a way that's testing something that I think is cool.

And so that might mean he's like, I'll test a new ad strategy, knowing that it probably won't work, but I'm willing to lose that money to continue to experiment and stay ahead.
