I know, I know. I'm excited to ignite your audience with some great ideas and some strategies and things that I'm working on. And I've got so many students right now who keep telling me that what we're doing is changing lives. And that was the legacy shift for me when I shifted my career.
Well, you know, I don't want to say that I know that I knew that. I just didn't stop. I was a very awkward, ugly little kid. Do I have the ability to share my screen at all? I do. You know, I should probably show you something because things that you don't know about me. When I was younger, I started out life on Long Island, very cute little girl, very happy life.

Except at some point I ran into a baseball bat and I shattered my nose. That was the first thing that happened. And then my Parents noticed that I had a very, you know, if I can share this, when you look at me and you look at me with these sweet, adoring male eyes that you have, I get that you love your partner. And when I say this story, people are like, oh, you couldn't have been that bad.

Well, I want to share with you about what that looks like because, and here's another thing too, as people are, you can never compare yourself to someone else. Oh, you know, you're not this or you're, you know, you're prettier than you thought. It doesn't matter. I didn't think that I was growing up. They looked at my mouth to start with and my teeth went in all different directions.

First thing that my parents did, and they didn't have a whole lot of money, was they put me in braces. And that was bad enough. But the doctor put me in a thing called a tongue thruster. And for three years, I couldn't talk. I had braces for eight years, by the way. And so for two years, I can't communicate to anybody. I've got a broken nose. I've got frizzy hair. I'm overweight. I'm rather ugly.

I'm very antisocial. I don't can, no one can understand me. And my family was a little odd. My dad was a magician and an inventor. And I was doing magic tricks from the time I was six years old. And one day I'm in the garage with him and he literally invented a, he invented a go-kart out of a half a garbage can, a lawnmower and paper mache to look like a Batmobile.

We were fairly odd kids on the block. One day turns, we said, kiddo, how do I get my ideas out to the world? I'm like, dad, I have no idea. I'm eight. I will tell you that when my dad passed away, that sense of getting all these ideas out before you die became paramount for me. And part of my career was getting other inventors to live their dreams.

But for me personally, what happened was things got worse. My dad had a horrible accident when I was in high school. He slipped, cut off the whole front of his hand, spent three years in the hospital. And so my mom turned to me one day, she said, kiddo, we have no money for college. I'm really sorry. And it was very, very disturbing because that was my big goal.
