And then the other thing too, back to the hospital thing, is I know this is going to sound fucking weird, but I was thinking when I was in the hospital, I was like, at the time, I was financially secure and I was in a good spot. But I was like, thinking one night, I'm like, man, what if tomorrow's my last day? I was like, I would trade everything just to have one more, right?

And then I was thinking like, if someone came in and said... I can give you this drink to give you an extra day, but I'm not going to tell you what day you get back. Right. And then I go back to a day where I fucked around and wasted time and hung out with somebody I didn't want to do, you know, want to, or hang out with a fucking dipshit or, you know what I'm saying?

Like, you know, and so then I started, I started, I just started looking at it through that lens and it's like, You don't know how much time you have. You don't know the people around you, how much time they have. So why, you know, why not let them know that you care about them and take care of them and then just leave it on the fucking field, man. Yeah.

Yeah.
Like leave it on the field every day because, you know, I mean, I can say to you wholeheartedly, I want to live, I want to live a long life. But I'm at a point in my life where like a lot of the shit that I've wanted to do, I've accomplished it. I've taken care of the people around me I wanted to take care of. And I know I leave it on the field every day.

And I mean, that's a pretty, that's peace of mind money can't buy.
And I mean, that's a pretty, that's peace of mind money can't buy.
Oh, 100%. I certainly could work a lot less.

So it's a couple of things, right? I think, you know, it's funny. Go back to the Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos story. Like, if you take the richest people in the world, they didn't need to keep working a long time ago, right? Once... I really believe this. I believe everybody has the opportunity to get the freedom.

And financial freedom is overused, but freedom meaning once you get to basic needs met, right? You can afford the house you want. You can afford the car you want. You can go on vacations. You got money in the bank. Like, you have that level of comfortability. Um, that's where if you're lucky enough to get there, that's where most people will stop. Right.

And, and, but there's not, and there, and listen, there's nothing wrong with that because everybody's different. But what I'm saying is, is that for me, it was about money to a point, which was basic needs beyond that. It is, I believe my purpose is obviously, I believe I've been given a gift to speak on stage, right? And so that's part of it.

And part of speaking on stage is being in the trenches every day and having the real shit to share with people. And I also believe that part of my purpose is to develop as many human beings as I can to be successful. And I really like building shit. It's fun. It's exciting to me. And to be quite honest with you, the more challenging it is, the better. I don't know how to do anything else. Yeah.
