And it could be stupid things like, there was a kid in my high school And we used to play this game, which was so idiotic, where we would jump into the subway trains and play chicken to see who could get out last. And sure enough, one of the kids didn't get out. Oh, shit. And so, you know, you just like... Did you see that? No, I wasn't there. But I knew his brother very well.

Because the kid that didn't get out was a year younger than us. It was a younger brother of one of our friends. And I just think like... man, there's so much luck involved in not ending up in the wrong spot. So again, I think for me, boxing and martial arts as well, because I was doing both by the time I was in high school, they just became an amazing thing for me. I ended up hanging out with

people who were older, right? Because you're, you know, it's not a place for a lot of kids at the time, right? This was, I'm hanging out with grown men. So you're sort of seeing these guys who have jobs and, you know, I think they were just a good influence on me.

Well, I was super serious about it. So when I was in 12th grade was when I did make a decision to not become a professional boxer. And it was really because of this teacher I had. So when I was in 12th grade, I had this teacher who really made a big difference in my life.

And again, I'm really grateful for that because even though I was pretty good, statistically speaking, you have to think in terms of probabilities, statistically speaking, I was going to wind up brain dead, right? Very few people are going to hit escape velocity in a sport like boxing.

Well, you know... For reasons that I don't know, I still kept taking math. I think I deep down kind of liked it. And so he was my math teacher, Woody Sparrow. And so this is, you know, 12th grade, I'm taking math and I'm actually doing reasonably well, right? Like I'm not... you know, top of the class or anything, but I'm doing well. And I just like the guy.

Like, he's funny, but he's got like kind of an edge to him. And middle of the year one day, he says, hey, can you come in tomorrow morning before class? I said, sure. So I came in and he said, you know, Peter, I heard you're not going to university. And I said, that's right. And he said, you know, I think that's a mistake. But he didn't lecture me, right?
