I'll tell you like a really early one. This is the first one that came to mind when you just asked the question, but as an early one. So I'm in Toledo, Ohio, and to be the popular and be the cool kids, they didn't care at all about school. A lot of them were drinking, doing drugs. Some of them just really weren't nice kids. They were bullies. In many cases, they were like the athlete group.

They were bullies. In many cases, they were like the athlete group.

I just remember that took a lot of courage for me to separate myself because I could have been in that popular group. I chose a different path. And at 12 or 13, for me, that took a tremendous amount of courage and isolated me. And then I think in a very short period of time, realized that that was the right call and that that gave me just so much confidence in listening to that gut from then on.

I still try to tap into that, but I think at a pretty early age, I just got a sense of how powerful it was to just listen to that voice.

If we have this amazing onboard intuition, LLM, and then courage we can learn or something over time. It seems like the other key step here is asking the right question of the intuition. I'm curious about two things, what you've learned about that part, like how to get to good questions. And then I'm also curious, zoom into today, what those questions are for you today.

Your head is a really powerful tool. It'll talk you out of a lot of things. Three really simple ones. So first off, to get into your intuition, a lot of times it's meditating, breath work, really being still and quiet and getting out of your mind. And a lot of things that people have talked about for thousands and thousands of years.

And a lot of things that people have talked about for thousands and thousands of years.

So that's a part of it is to try to get yourself in that state where you're silencing your mind or separating yourself from your mind as much as you can, which is kind of the core principle of meditating. But if you had to jump to just questions, which is a form as well, it's some of the ones we talked about, like, what would I do if I wasn't afraid? What am I afraid of?

how is fear playing into my life right now? There's a great Carl Jung quote, where your fear is, there is your task. Usually look at where something is holding you back that you're afraid of and go into that and toward that thing. Your work gonna be in there versus running away from it. A good question, just using kind of your future self. Okay, I have this decision to make going left or right.

And right now I'm in the fog of war and it's scary and gosh, it's gonna be really hard to go either direction. But stepping out and saying, okay, if you're 10 years older version of yourself were to give you advice right now, what would they want you to do? And so you're getting out of like the immediate fog of war. And a lot of times the answer is super clear.

So those are all just a few questions or tools that might help.

The point on fear and being afraid or whatever makes me realize we talked about an amazing deal. What was like a terrible early deal?
