Okay, here's my cringy first post where I was trying to get people to give me money, right?

I'm just like, hey, I started this thing.

Please, please give me money, right?

Here's my first content piece that I ever made.

Sounds very dialed, right?

There's a strong hook, strong meet, strong payoff.

No, it's horrible, right?

And this is the first YouTube video that I made when I started making YouTube content.

And this is my first IG post.

Now, 90 days after that first ad that I showed you, I lost everything for the second time.

And that's when I made my first podcast.

And so my goal was to document the lessons so that I had something to look back to as I moved up in my career.

And I thought it'd be really cool if Buffett or Bezos or Musk had dumped some sort of like video diaries of the come up, not just the top, right?

As something like an artifact for us to learn from that we could follow in their footsteps.

Unfortunately, the world is too rational of a place to reward the undeserving.

That's a Charlie Munger quote.

In order to get what you want, you must deserve what you want, which really means that you've got to be good.

And the only way to get good is to be willing to be bad for a very long time.

And so this is my promise to you, is that you will be cringe.

These videos, these pieces of content, your first product, they will be cringe, but you will also not be alone.
