And it was the first time in my life that I thought, I am not free.

I do not have freedom.

I'm not working when I want, how I want, where I want, but I want that.

And so it took me about a good year from that meeting till the day I drove out of the San Diego headquarters and started my own business.

So during that year, that's where I kind of built a formula for how to quit a job and start a business.

But that's what kind of kicked the whole thing off for me.

Yes, so I was all about the praise, the raises, climbing the corporate ladder.

You said jump, I said how high, you say you need it, I'll give it to you yesterday.

I was obsessed with Tony and the team

thinking I was incredible and wanting me to climb that corporate ladder and do big things.

And so that external validation, that's where I found my worth.

If you said I was doing a good job, I felt great.

But if I didn't feel that external worth, I didn't think I was worthy.

which is a huge problem in and of itself.

And it kind of goes back to, I had a really strict father.

And so when he was proud of me, I felt like I was on top of the world.

When he wasn't, I didn't think I was that great.

And so it started with my dad.

I guess I had some daddy issues and it went into my corporate world.

But yeah, that's how definitely I navigated that.
