My mom, immigrant to the country, they barely made it. Between the two of them, I have no idea. They were always fighting and struggling. It was difficult for them too. The challenge that I grew up with, and maybe you did too, is I grew up with a survival mindset. If you can just get enough, Like, you know, just get enough, just enough to pay the bills, just enough to pay rent.

If I could just get enough. So what you're always trying to do is fill a void, not build abundance. If you're only ever trying to pay the bills, you're always filling a void, not building abundance. It takes a while to figure that out. And a lot of wealthy people I work with, they kind of figure that out. At some point they're like,

I wanted to go beyond survival because I wanted to do something different. And what that different is is different for everybody. I wanted to give, I wanted to serve like you. It was give, it was service, it was build. Other people, it was like, you know what? I didn't want to be like them. I wanted to change.

I want to be that different person, that one person in the generation that turned it around. But at some point along the way, they understood their feelings about money.

Three miles from here. I went broke in the mission district. Okay. So this is a true story. I had a good job and I quit it because I want to become a writer like Lewis. I want to write a book. I wrote about the same age too. And I wrote that book. I quickly put it out and I did what most writers do. I went really broke.

You're already not doing great where I was living at the time, but then I went really broke. And there was probably two or three years I was faking being a writer. I was looking in San Francisco, all the famous places the writers went, all the cafes in this town, the big name writers, and I would go there and I'd order a croissant.

I was looking in San Francisco, all the famous places the writers went, all the cafes in this town, the big name writers, and I would go there and I'd order a croissant.

And I'd get a green tea, and I'd sit where the famous people sat in those cafes. And I'd look around. Everyone has laptops, and they're all typing and drinking their coffee. And I was like, I'm here. I'm doing it. And then I just kind of ADD myself throughout the day, week after week. I am not motivated. So I'd walk around. I'd go to Fort Mason. I'd go to the Golden Gate.

I'm looking for inspiration. I'm going to find inspiration in San Francisco, and I'm going to write this book. This goes on week after week, month after month. I can no longer afford my rent. So now I go and live on some friend's couches, then on some friend's floors. And then I have to make the decision, do I go back to where I'm from, from Montana? and go live with my parents?

Or do I move in with my then-girlfriend?" And somehow she had so much grace, she let me move in. She was paying for all the groceries. She would go and work so hard every day. And knowing that I was at home writing this book, this great book I'm going to write. I'm going to make it with this book. And you weren't making any money at the time. No money. No money. And I had a laptop that I borrowed.

And I had my mom's fold-out little stool. where I was writing and I was writing next to the bed because the apartment was tiny. She was in the marina. So tinier apartment, but she's doing good. She's in the marina. You know, she's doing much better than I was paying for the groceries. And so I'm writing next to the bed. And all of my journals, my books, my vision boards, my research, my papers.
