I said, mom, I've been building businesses and here's what I'd like to do with us.
Spin Gym is not gonna work right now because it manufactures in China.
You should teach pitching.
You should teach what you know.
You've got a skill and if you die with it, you won't have much of a legacy and I'd like to help you build that.
So we sat in a room, we created a whole training and the next thing you know, we go online.
I have 25 people in a room on this thing called Zoom that nobody knew about in 2020.
And she says, I'd always had zero in the bank account for that.
I had 25 people, and I had a $1,000 concept.
I could teach you to pitch for $1,000, and you'd spend four weeks with me.
I open up our screen the next morning, and it says something, and I call McKenna.
I said, hey, what does the K stand for?
He said, what do you mean, Mom?
I said, listen, we earned 25K.
She said, mom, last night you made $25,000.
She said, everybody in the room bought your stuff.
And I'm like, oh, you got me.
And that's how this whole business started of pitching.
And I did that four times in a row.
