And they're drawing these belief systems from a higher place. So I said, look, you have the experience. I don't. But as a founder... You know, in the last eight years, we've been doing this together. As a founder, I do get ideas. And thankfully, you know, we do control this company. So I want you to really be open to this idea. And we had this back and forth. So I know it's impossible.

I said to him, I said, listen, I want you just to be open to it. He's like, OK, we'll be open to it. Something happened on a call at Whole Foods, and they said one of their brands wasn't doing well.

We shot up to be one of their number one brands. And I think today, we're at almost 120 or 130, somewhere up there. And this all happened in one year. And every year I go back to the team and I say, guys, and this happens in every department. Remember what we thought could happen. Remember what we saw visually.

So I made all this money in the stock market early on because I had a lot of desire, a lot of energy. I just didn't know where to put it. And so I started to trade and it started to do really well. But that's when my life started to get out of control as a teenager. And I became a gambler. I started to- Really? Oh, yeah.

Until 4 a.m. Sometimes I'd go into a casino on like a Sunday and come out on a Tuesday. Oh, man. And you wouldn't see daylight. I was like playing like $15 hands with my college buddies. Not casino life, but yeah. With that, I mean, it's never enough. So casino life was the next thing, right? Yeah.

And so I was doing that and I realized why am I like, I just kept feeling more and more drained, right? You got the highs and then you feel low. And once I started to learn Kabbalah, I started to realize that the highs and the lows were, I was drawing energy, but I didn't create the vessel to hold this energy.

They draw energy, but there's no vessel to hold it, which we can explain what that means, the creative vessel. There's no vessel to hold it. They feel this flash, and then there's darkness. There's emptiness. There's addiction. Because they may not know spiritual laws, they'll go right back to more flashes to feed the addiction.
