When you're in M&A and you're involved in those deals, you really are working 10- and 12-hour days quite frequently.

It's a tough go, and it's easier for younger people.

I did a little of my 50s, and holy smokers, I was too old for that.

That's a lot of hours.

So I love what you've done and now you've transitioned and your current business, you're doing some coaching we'll talk about later, but mostly right now you're creating content.

You're getting out there as an educator on the conventional platforms.

How did you grow your audience?

You didn't have an established brand.

How did you get the following just through really resonating with people and then having the algorithms pick you up?

And let's be honest, there are a lot of people who don't study the math carefully enough.

Obviously, with your accounting background, you tend to be a bit anal about all of that, as you should be, because we're out there educating.

We have to know the subtle nuances, et cetera.

So no, I think your stuff's interesting.

And not only that, you've got a broader range

of material than many and that you're doing Canadian personal finance, but you've also gone into some macro themes and tried to make things like the carry trade more understandable.

You'll look at the current economic situation and talk a little bit about it and how it could ripple impact and affect people's lives.

So I think that it's just fun and interesting stuff to watch.

One of the things that jumps out at me watching your videos is that you very much emphasize simplicity over complexity, very much wealthy barber like.

One of the things I find a lot of people don't understand is you and I aren't doing that just because we think it's more likely to resonate.

It's also what works.
