You have to be willing to adjust and adapt and react to what's happening around you. And we saw it during COVID. Those who were able to adjust and react stayed around. Those who didn't became extinct. And that is my belief with or without a pandemic. I think, secondly, we have to learn to think like a conductor. You have to check your ego at the door and

You've got to think of a conductor of an orchestra. So that's hiring the best people. Don't try to play every instrument yourself. So, you know, a lot of people, they think they know everything. And I don't believe that. I think you've got to get the good, you know, the best people you can around you. And I think you have to stop making excuses.

I think, you know, one of the reasons people fail is because they point to their left and they point to the right and they blame everyone and everything around them. If you look at the people who are in that rare air, they point the finger at themselves because at the end of their career, there's no one else to blame but themselves.

Well, I had done a little bit, but the biggest project I had done was a 34 unit building. So much, much different. But I went into it with the right mindset. And I think it's kind of a Midwest mindset. I went in and my goal wasn't to try to be the big boss. I went in it trying to be the sponge. And I realized that I didn't know everything and that I had to get good people around me.

And I realized that I didn't know everything and that I had to get good people around me.

And that was it. And I wanted to learn everything I could from everyone, the great architects and engineers and mechanical engineers. And that was kind of my goal when I first got out. I took my time. I kind of sat back and I took it all in before I started to kind of get into my role.

I will say he treated me exceptionally well, treated me like one of his children. And ultimately, he wanted me to succeed. He wanted me to be as successful as I could. And I think that's what he wants for most people. I don't want to get into politics or any of that. I get it. The world we're living in is very divided.

But I can just share with you my personal firsthand experience and the way he treated me was he far exceeded any expectation I had. and really took me under his wing. So it was a life-changing experience that I will always remember and always cherish. And I look back on that experience of being on that show, and I met my wife through that experience. I have my child. It really was amazing.

I've been able to do a bunch of TV shows as a result. So life is full of opportunities, and you have to seize opportunities. I was just with Howie Mandel the other day, and I'm like, give him a shout out. He had a great quote. He said, nothing starts with no. And if you always say no to opportunities, you're going to wind up with nothing.

I came home and I told my 11-year-old son that because it's amazing advice. You got to be willing to take risks and go out there. And when I took that opportunity, this was the early days of reality television. 20 years ago, the TV stations weren't filled with the reality TV that we had today. So It could have ruined me. It could have been an absolute disaster and I could have embarrassed myself.

But I knew that I wanted to take a risk and the upside, I think, outweighed the downside.
