So it took me five and a half years to graduate from college.

I graduated with a 2.4 GPA.

And then I started med school at 28.

I couldn't support myself financially until I started residency at the age of 32.

My wife started working at 16 and has never stopped.

And so there was a period of like five years where like, what was I doing?

I had a research assistant position at Harvard, but I was basically applying to medical school.

And so like I was going nowhere real fast and she stuck it out with me, which is quite amazing.

Like I'm still surprised by her and her lack of pressure and also her like supreme confidence that I was gonna figure it out.

So I've been in those shoes.

And I think the big thing for me was I figured out how I worked.

And so we have this picture failure to launch, which is a lot of what I deal with.

These are gifted kids.

who then hit a wall like I did.

So had a lot of potential, just never really comes to it.

They struggle a lot with things like discipline, motivation.

I think oftentimes they will look for some kind of solution, right?

Because we as human beings, we don't realize that most of life is multifactorial.

That if you do a multivariate regression analysis, you're not gonna find that it was the hair loss meds.

And so this is where we kind of come back to the roadmap where I think the most important thing, and I've helped,
