And after I lost a lot of weight, all kinds of things came up that I had been covering up my whole life.
Because my whole life I'd been a little bit chunky.
And that was always an issue.
And I was on Broadway and they made me go to Overeaters Anonymous.
I lost out on a movie role with Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi in Neighbors because I just couldn't lose the 15 pounds.
It was always about my freaking weight.
Well, I will tell you, when I finally lost all of it and more because I was in a competition, everything came up.
And I am kind of insecure, and I do have a terrible sense of shyness.
That's why I created, I have a thing called Elevator Pitch 2.0.
I literally wrote out how to meet somebody and connect to them.
And by the way, that resulted in me going down the hallway to connect to Grant Cardone,
which could put me on stage in front of 10,000 people at 10X because I had a system.
If I didn't have some system, I would have gone, okay, I don't know what to say.
I always now know what to say.
Make sense?
And so now, and it's unfortunate.
I mean, I'm turning 66 next week.
So it's about putting all those pieces together.
And you asked me why I want to teach.
Because I don't want to see anybody suffer like I did for so long.
