You can, you know, live it up.

I mean, I was living a really amazing life in the Marines and I was traveling all over the world.

And, but I met my wife three months before I left the service.

And so I kind of was like, you know what?

No, I think I'm going to get out.

And a lot of people in the Marines were just like, no, dude, this is, this is man.

You're it's, it's like, it's like given, I mean, this is a great path to go into.

And I said, no, man, I mean, I want to get to the civilian sector.

I want to get back and I want to see what I can do and make and make of myself because the biggest thing is, you know, a lot of military members, um, you know, it's hard for them to really transition back into the civilian sector.

And so I got out of the Marines, man.

I basically left New York, went out to Texas, packed up all my stuff with my wife.

I took her out of Tampa and I said,

Let's move in with my brother and let's figure this thing out and see where it takes us.

Well, long story short, man, it was a really bad decision.

Well, not now because, I mean, we're blessed now.

But at the time, it was like the worst decision because I basically lost all my subscribers.

They were all just turning against me like, dude, we wish you were back in the uniform.

And they had just built up that, you know, obviously that idol, I guess, right?

And so I started from ground zero, brother.

I was like, well, dude, I went through almost a year of depression, suicidal, I mean, military, transitioning back to the civilian sector.
