He saw the video and he said, Jeff, I saw what you did for that kid. I saw what you did for the charity. I have something for you. I have two signed world title belts, one from The Undertaker and one from The Rock. I'll send the Rock's world title belt to the kid in the UK, and I'll send the Undertaker's world title belt that's signed to the charity. The charity was able to auction off

The Undertaker's belt and Paul White's signed shirt for a lot of money. And it turns out that the kid in the UK, it was his birthday coming up. So the parents took the belt, held on to it, waited for his birthday to come and gave it to him on his birthday. The Rock's world title belt signed. The kid was so excited. Over the moon, it made his day.

And so that to me is literally one of my favorite stories because no one's tougher than a kid who's fighting an illness that's 7, 8, 9, 10 years old. All of our problems on a daily basis are nothing compared to what these warriors, so to speak, are going through.

One thing I will say is that I did make... a decision a couple of years ago that at least for the time being, I'm not going to do as much nightlife. I'll work with restaurants. That's enjoyable, but I'm not really doing as much on the nightlife side. Don't get me wrong. If a nightclub wants to book a music artist, that's one thing. If a talent is in town, I'll bring them to the hottest spot.

That's fine. For the time being, I am not going to run a lounge or nightclub simply because the things that I'm doing during the day working on charity events, booking celebrities for conventions. We just got two clients in Kentucky by referrals for us to book their music and comedy acts. One is an arena that holds 7,000 people, and the other one is a theater. So that side of things is building.

And I would rather be building that on that side of it and really focused in and focused on fan room, focused on quote notes, which I could tell a little bit about, focused on my event planning and production and marketing company, focused on those things versus whether people come to a bar and spend money on drinks and bottle service.

But it also, it's weighing your, what makes sense. Don't get me wrong. I will still do one-off parties for clients and whatnot. That's doesn't change, but I won't for the time being put my foot in the ground, so to speak into a bar and lounge or restaurant, or I should say bar lounge or nightclub Because I want to put my good energy, my peaceful energy into what makes sense.

Ignore the noise. Whatever's happening today or whatever you're feeling today, doesn't matter. Six months, doesn't matter the next day. Just ignore the noise because at the end of the day, People who thrive, they have to jump over hurdles to get where they are. So just ignore the noise.

Take yourself a little bit more seriously in the sense that prioritizing what is important, not just professionally, but also personally. Know your strengths and weaknesses and think outside the box. and actually push on those strengths and weaknesses and realize what can be done, what can't be done, and just keep it moving. That's what I would tell my younger self. It'll all be okay.
