And then another thing was, is another thing that I do growing up, I was in Boy Scouts.
So I became an Eagle Scout and I learned public speaking then and how to communicate.
And, you know, my scout troop that I was in in the DC, Virginia area was ran by a bunch of ex-Marine guys.
So I had those little, you know, ounces of experience between observing my dad and interacting with some of the top military people, government officials that he was, you know, bumping elbows with, shaking hands with, and then also in scouts.
And so that kind of, I think, translated to us being able to build the channel and knowing how to interact and operate the same way that I feel like successful people do.
Such a great question and extremely, I think, useful for people because I think that that is the ultimate cheat code in life, right?
I like to say mentorship is like wisdom without the wounds.
If you can attach yourself to just a couple very, very, very successful people, that is more valuable than any college degree, than any sort of, you know, general education that I think people can get, right?
Just all it takes is a couple, you know, hyper successful people to kind of get in your corner and be willing to pour into you.
But I think it starts with a couple of things, right?
Like when we started the channel initially, we didn't have

Started a channel at the University of Texas where we're just interviewing successful people trying to get advice to the younger generation now What did I say there?
I started a channel at the University of Texas why I'm borrowing that authority because it's bigger than me, right?
So if you can find a way to borrow that authority and a lot of people will see my interviews now where you know Yes, Tom Brady was a setup interview Tom Cruise was a setup interview Will Smith was a setup interview Shaq setup interview right and a lot of our stuff now is definitely a lot more set up but
I'm a big believer in keeping the main thing the main thing.
The thing that got us here was that off-the-street content.
So for example, I went out to London last week.
I didn't set up a single interview.
I went right to Mayfair, which is the wealthiest part, and just went up to probably several hundred people within a week just getting some incredible content.
