Out of the 340-ish million people we have in our society... There's a lot of them that are babies. They don't have TikTok. There's a lot of them that are senior citizens. They don't have TikTok. So it's basically everybody else. It's like 170 out of like 250 or 220, whatever the number is. So it's a vast majority of society. And 2023, it was $1.5 billion on TikTok shop.

Last year, it was 1.4 billion a month. Think about the revenue of people that are just making money in the middle of Michigan out of their apartment. A 17-year-old girl or a 36-year-old guy or a single mom with three kids who's 52 and she's just making money as an affiliate on TikTok shop. People don't realize the economic impact. They think it's just like dancing around videos.

That's serious money that's being had there. What are your thoughts about the fun situation where everyone freaked out and cried on Saturday, TikTok's over, and then you wake up Sunday morning, TikTok's back.

Mind-boggling.

Okay. So on the money Mondays, we talked about the making money side. Let's talk about the investing side. Yeah. You get pitched a lot. And as your personal brand keeps growing and growing and growing and growing and everyone keeps sharing your videos and you keep growing and growing, bada bing, bada boom, you're going to get pitched even more.

Sorry to tell you, you're going to get pitched way more. How do you interact with people that are trying to pitch you? What do you want from them? What do you want to see to sift through it all?

Even if a deal crushes it and someone pitches, you're like, hey, invest into this deal. You're like, okay, I'll throw in 250K. 250K becomes 450,000 or 600,000. It does really well. You were doing $400,000 a day in this theoretical number, right? Right, exactly. And that would take three to five years from you putting in 250 to wait for that compared to you doing it on your own. That's fascinating.
