So what you're looking at today is the end result of 17 years of a lot of testing, like a very patient wife that was unquestioning and unwavering and extremely loyal, which I could not have done it without.

And so there were a lot of periods of my life where I beat myself up over that lack of focus.

I went and got my MBA because of my lack of focus.

I finished my undergrad because of my lack of focus.

Getting a full-time job has never really been off the table until the last five or so years.

So I've never been unwilling to get a job or to focus.

And I probably did it the hard way, honestly.

But I'm to the point now where I don't feel the need to focus at all on one thing.

Did you ever feel guilty because of the situation you put your family or your partner in?

Yeah.

Yeah.

More than once, yeah.

More than many times.

Give me an example.

I spent 18 months working on a project.

that had no cash flow along the way with the hope of a big payout.

And we were making no income, right?

And I was focused on this one thing.

And that is kind of the downside of focus.

If you focus on the wrong thing, it can really come back to bite you, right?
