That's what I want. That's what I want when that's never what I wanted. So I wore him down. I got into it. He fired me. I went into sales. I couldn't sell anything. Dude, I was miserable. Cold calling, terrible products, terrible territories. And finally one boss said to me, she's like, man, you are terrible at sales. All you ever talk about is radio. If I were you, I'd go back and do that.

So it was that thing that you might have done construction. I tried to go into sales. I was terrible at that. I have had an immense gratitude for all of this ever since.

Thank you. Thank you. Who knows that I can even do this, but yes.

Pretty much. I was always a try hard. I was never exceptional at anything except effort. except effort. The only advantage I had, here's my advantage, I knew that I had no advantages. And don't get me wrong, I was an upper middle class kid, suburban kid from the valley in Los Angeles, from a family that owned a small business. I did not come up through the mud. Let's be real.

But what I did understand was that there was nothing significant about me. I knew nobody in the business, really. I knew one person. I knew nobody in the business. I did not play the game beyond tennis in high school. I never thought that I had a good voice or a good look. I didn't think that I was really physically imposing. Nothing special.

about you nothing nothing you don't think anything as an entertainer a broadcasting talent there is nothing special about nothing but but i was alert so i got to school and i went to the radio station and i started to work and compete and i would see my peers and i'm like holy crap that dude is way better than me that guy is way better than me that gal is way sharper than me whoa whoa whoa whoa

this is your obsession, but if you can't beat the people in your own room, I did the math. I wasn't even a J school. I went to a UC school, which is just theory. Like there was no TV station there. I'm like, if everybody else around the nation has the same dream on their various campuses and everybody in the workplace, they're not giving back their jobs. the hell are you going to make it?

Why you? Why you?

Why you? Why you?

I think at this point I'm sort of creative because I'm starting to formulate in my mind, hey, here's my thing. I figured this out. how are you going to get a job? How are you going to get a show? Why you? Why you? Why you? And initially, I could not answer that. But at the same time, I was formulating content ideas. Like, well, what if you did get a show? What would you do?

What would that show be? So I had to figure out the first thing. It was kind of like a three-pronged thing. I was working on my mindset because I knew it was a brutal, brutal business with a lot of rejection. I thought that was the only edge I could get if I was like... if I had more grind, if I wanted it worse. I worked on my mind. I worked on the answer of how are you going to get a show?
