So I decided I was going to do things a different way.

I was going to pursue knowledge in all these domains.

As a hobby.

And I was going to look at finance separately and accrue wealth to give me the freedom to learn about the things I want to learn about.

Yeah.

That would always work for a time until it didn't or maybe because I didn't.

Because these various careers and businesses I started, even though they were lucrative, I didn't care about them.

Yeah.

Yeah.

right um they didn't give me purpose they didn't bring me joy they didn't bring me fulfillment right so i'd eventually become disenfranchised and want to try something else of course um that just repeated that cycle repeated during those times whenever i'd become disenfranchised all of a sudden i'd

lose tens of thousands of dollars partying at the club you know like buying designer clothes living the high life to try and fill the hole in my soul right you know that was being carved bigger and bigger by all these career choices that weren't giving me meaning i understand that

So then I turned to fitness, and I just read more, and I decided money wasn't that important.

I have enough to live the lifestyle I want anyways.

But then my health crisis happened.

How old were you when that happened?

29.

Okay.

So I caught a mystery virus.

They don't know what it was, but it causes autoimmune-like response.

My C-reactive proteins were 34 milligrams a liter, so more than 100 times abnormal.
