And you're done and you're in banking. Fair. Well, I was pinned against the wall and I said, I'm going to restart myself outside the bank. And so ironically enough, one of the companies I started was called Restart Consulting. And my first book was called The Restart Roadmap. So that's a little bit about the predicament I was put in. That was back in 2019.
And here we are in 2024, still moving along strong.
So a couple of things like you look at 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24. This was seven years ago. So I also want to put this out there. The risk of making a move into social media and all that back seven years ago was a lot riskier than it is today. So it even it accentuates your question. Like, what the hell were you thinking? Now, when I went on the show.
The big thing I noticed is, and this gets into like a little bit of therapy work, but my whole entire life, one of the ways that I, a survival tactic for me was being a champion for the world around me and making sure the people I love most felt secure. People I love the most, mom and dad. So, you know, I was captain of the sports team. I was always did the right thing.
I never, ever got in trouble, ever, truly. And I got promoted. I was a yes guy. I just did what I did. And at 29, when I was offered to go on the bachelorette, you know, everyone in my world, parents and family and mentors in charge, what the fuck are you, what are you thinking? No, what are you talking about? And for me, it was the first time when I was like, my gut was like, I want to go.
I want to do this. And so it was one of the first times in a very long time that I made a decision for kind of filling my cup as opposed to everyone else's. And ironically enough, it was that small decision, that small crack that led to this little mini empire I have right now. So it was a high risk. But one thing I did when you talk about finance and just preparing is
After the show, I didn't jump ship right away. I waited. I saw the edit. I saw the way people were perceiving it. I didn't jump ship. I got put in a predicament. It was about nine months or so of what I call my double dip earning year where I had a really nice salary coming in with all these benefits, 401k match, all this stuff while making all this money on social media.
And so when you get into the business and finance aspect of it, If people are listening to this and you're trying to make a change in your life, the best way to do it is create some type of financial freedom where you know what your burn rate is. And burn rate is how much cash can you go through on a monthly basis until you would have to go back to what you're doing today.
And when I left, when I made that decision, I knew that I had at minimum, at minimum, a year burn rate to do whatever I wanted if no income came in. And if that didn't work out, I could have always gone back to that road I was on.
Well, I think now more than ever, like if you go back to like 2010 to 2020, you almost needed to be on a show or you had to have something, just like a little spark of luck to get your platform. If you look at 2024, anyone, any day, any time can become viral and their life can change overnight.
If you have something special, if you're electrifying, if you're educational, if you're engaging, if you're insightful, anything you do that makes you special and you put it out there, it can instantly change your life. We've seen it literally time and time again on the dumbest things in the world. Hawk to a girl being one of them.
I mean, it's literally a Harvard-based business case study how a girl is on a street, she's drinking, she's drunk, she says something funny, and now she's making millions and millions of dollars. Millions. And when you do a base case there, I think there's a little bit of a study to say people are craving authenticity, but they're also craving just like chill vibes.
Like we've gotten so serious with everything lately. And I'm a big proponent of therapy and all the work you're doing, Heather, and you know, your physical work and your mental work and being the best and best, but we've gotten so serious with everything. It's like, We got to just chill a little bit. We got to just like, everyone's got to just enjoy life.
I think we're seeing that in all capacities right now. One thing I think that's really important for people to do is sit with yourself for a week or two. And I want you to just write down in your notepad, your notes on Apple, whatever it is, just write down the things you are naturally gravitating towards. Not what mom, dad, boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife, children, anyone alike put it.
What is your natural gut moving you towards? I don't care if it's reading a book, it's a TV show you're watching, it's something you're cooking, it's something you want to eat, a drink you're dying to have, anything and put it down. And after about two weeks, you're going to have this long list.
And what you're going to notice is that you have natural passions that are gearing you towards those things. And whatever those things are, those can be a roadmap for you to start exploring. Exploring creating content with those things. Exploring careers with those things. Because behind a TV show I like because I really am just interested in it, there's a billion-dollar industry right there.
And I think so often we're in this world where there's so much noise that we lose focus and get in touch with ourselves to understand what we want. And if we don't know what we want, how the hell are we going to find the compass for it? And so that's where I would start. Pay attention to what you're naturally doing. And as a result of that, that can be a blueprint for you moving forward.
Yeah, I mean, I worked my ass off. Like, truly, I worked so hard. And part of my motivation to work so hard is the fact that I never want to go back to that. Like, I remember what that was like, the Sunday night scaries before work. I remember being in meetings miserable.
I remember all the brainpower and creativity and all the things that make me me, not being deployed, but me being put in the box to the expectations that I had to provide. And to me, I like my skin crawls a little bit thinking about that. And those are the reasons why I bust my tail the way I do.
And so what I would say is for anyone that's listening to this, that's thinking about like career steps or what they want to do and how they want to do it. When you go through these experiences and you think about your job, like when I was in finance, write just simple T chart of like, what is it that you really enjoy? What is it that you don't enjoy?
