on what I was doing, why I was doing it, showed me that there were alternatives, and then helped guide me through the sale of my business. So it was a real, talk about change, it was a real turning point for me. So I sold my business and decided to move back to Japan.

Yeah, that's a great question. I had that experience and I said, I'm never going to chase money for money's own sake. I want to do something that's aligned with my innate skills. I want to do something that I can add skills or learn and do and be challenged and try. But part of why I feel like I found my calling is that I'm helping others.

And that's a story that I didn't throw in the early life stories. But I had an experience where the best job I ever had when I was a young man was after I'd returned from my world travels, I worked in a retail store.

And I worked in a retail store in Santa Barbara that was called Pacific Traveler Supply. And it was one of the very first stores that was a retail store that was specifically for people who travel. And as I mentioned, I traveled all over and I knew a lot about traveling. And we sold...

travel goods travel books and maps and people would come into the store and i would help them choose the right map the right travel book and the right travel gear for the kind of travel that they like to do and i realized that how much joy i got from helping other people on their own journeys And it sounds like I'm making this story up to align with what I'm doing now.

But looking back, I love that job so much. And I would have done it for free. I was very young at the time. I needed the money to finish my college education. And I would wake up in the morning super excited about going to that job. It was pure joy.

And so I had that memory of what it's like to have a job, get paid for it, but be doing something that's helping other people and that's aligned with something I'm passionate about.

And so when I had that experience with my business almost crushing me, it's my next phase in life, I'm going to be doing something where I get paid decently, make good money, have the opportunity as an entrepreneur, but also do something that's really helping others and aligned with my strengths. And so that kind of ties back to with the ability to talk to different people.

And so money was more of a side effect. Of course, I'm very, as a business person, I'm very financially minded and keep an eye on cashflow and revenues and profits. But it's really being able to do something where I feel like it's aligned with my true self. And I feel blessed to be able to be doing that.

All that, yes. Oh my gosh, yeah.
