So I was I was.

really, really, really shy.

And I think that's, you know, when you're not good at something and it's a pain point, you are so much more motivated to make it happen.

So it started with books and then kind of, you know, studying abroad, getting to travel, learning a different language is where I started stepping outside of myself a lot more.

And, you know, I can talk about charisma for

till the cows come home in the morning.

But the basic idea is that, that I've realized is that the more that you step outside of yourself in social situations, expressing courage, sharing more about yourself, the more you tend to attract awesome people into your life.

And for me, the really big thing, I mean, when I look at my roommates, it's actually been starting this business and stating that, Hey, I'm a guy that is interested in getting better in these sorts of ways.

And my one roommate who is, you know, in the back room recording an online course right now, he showed up to our first course ever on how to meet women in

during the day in parks in New York City.

And that's how I've met a lot of the cool people in my life.

I mean, I think that there's, unfortunately, and this is something that I dealt with because I did not want to go out and feel like a pickup artist, right?

I didn't want to go out, like perform magic tricks, have people picking cards out of my head and that kind of stuff.

But I did feel like, crap, I don't know what to do except go to the bar and get really drunk and hope that I meet someone that I like.

So it was a matter of kind of presenting the cool things about yourself.

And one, I started from I was a shy kid.

I didn't have a lot of amazing things going on in my life.

So one, getting that in place, being someone who has cool hobbies, does cool stuff, and then learning how to present it quickly in the same way you would in a pitch to a business or investors or something like that.

And then from that, there flowed a bunch of questions that kind of led us to be like, you know what, there's something else here that people are missing that we can create a course off of.

Sure.
