Yeah, I could be more fun. I'm less stressed than I was. I think a lot of it had to do, I was a young kid. Well, I thought I was young, but I was in my mid-30s and I had the weight of the world on my shoulders and I had so much stress that no one that age should have. I had all these employees and all of these contractors and subcontractors that were relying on me. I had multiple homes.

I had investors. I had bank loans. And it was almost a little, it was probably a shell game, really, where I needed the money out of this house to then put in the second house and the third house. It was so much pressure and stress. And I think that had a lot to do with how I behaved. And so now, you know, financially things are calmer. And I always talk about this too.

I think to chase that, let's just say someone's making 50,000 a year. And that was never enough for me. Like I always wanted more and more and more. And I would take on things that I really shouldn't do to make another five or 10 grand. And I realized to make that other five or 10 grand, it was killing me. And in the end, it really didn't change my life.

Making that extra 10% didn't change my life. And I had no balance whatsoever. And that is really, truly the reason why my long-term relationship failed. is because we weren't investing in the relationship. It was all about chasing work, chasing money. And I think we both had a little fear of scarcity.

And I came from a family that was somewhat affluent, but my dad was an entrepreneur and there was a lot of ups and downs. And so it wasn't like consistent. And with him, I think it was the same. So we were always afraid to turn down business. But when we did that, we took on too much and at the toll of our relationship.

And honestly, not just our relationship, friendships, family relationships, you just weren't investing at all. And that was probably one of the biggest mistakes that I have made. And so now it's hard for me though. I turn things down a lot, much like this podcast. I've, I turned things down.

Right. So I, I think that was, that's been my biggest mistake in the, in the past. And I just, I also wasn't, I didn't have the emotional tools to deal with anxiety and stress. Obviously, there's 11 seasons of it. I would act out every which way on every person and innocent people. Some were not innocent, but a lot were.
