And man, that was a, I felt the step. Like I felt the step in my life and I have continued to feel it ever since. So that's one thing if you're 16 or whatever you are and you're wondering and you're reading this shit, it matters. I think it matters. So that's number one.

And then the third thing is, I don't want to get too spiritual here, but I definitely believe the quote that once you put out into the universe what you're trying to get done, it conspires to help you create it. So even if you were a construction worker... And you're like, I do want to do the hedge fund thing. You start talking about it at parties. You put yourself out there.

You ask friends for introductions. You, you will, it may take you longer than it took me, right? It may take you six months to get your first really valuable meeting, but you will get a meeting.

And if they don't ever follow up, then I know they're not serious. But then some of them are like, man, they come back, they follow up. I'm like, wow, I met this person.
