And we laughed because what work did I have in Memphis? It was just death and destruction for the last five years, man. But that was kind of foreshadowing of what was to come. You know, I go to my parents. I get a job at this data company. Just a bullshit job. I haven't worked for anybody other than myself in 10 years. Yeah.

But I was looking at the bigger picture and, you know, even though we lost everything on paper, I still retained a lot of data and a lot of expertise in the marketing area, digital marketing in particular. I still had a lot of email lists. I still had a lot of IP. And so I'm looking at, like, what am I sitting on right now? What do I have in front of me? What can I rebuild with?

And I decided to get a job at this data company and see what I could learn about how they're manipulating data and running data intelligence for large corporations. And I meet this guy named Robert, and he's my boss. We didn't really get along because he was convinced I'd been hired to replace him. He didn't know about my background.

He just knew that I had worked for Fortune 500 and had a college degree. I was getting paid next to nothing. I was working crazy hours. I'm driving a truck that I can't register. I don't have a title to it. I bought it from some dope boy who stole it from his mom. But I'm clean. Things are going really well.

I landed a deal to pitch a data concept, essentially, to Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, oddly enough. on how to use data to predict the likelihood of a rare disease to do their digital marketing and Robert and I kind of Had an open conversation about the dislike between the two of us around that We go to New York and we have the conversation over beer.

All right, so I've relapsed now This was like in August I think of 2019 and I'm still sticking things out of this data company. I'm still trying to figure out how they're doing. I tell Robert what I've got as far as my email lists and all the different strategies I used to use to get firearms products around Google's stupid rules.
