That was my plan.

That's a good plan.

And, you know, and then I opened a jujitsu gym.

So I figured I'd be able to teach jujitsu and hang out, surf with my kids, surf.

And that's what my plan was.

Probably about six months before I retired, I had a friend that owned a big company and he asked me to come and talk to his executive team about leadership.

And I knew him from jujitsu.

I was like, yeah, cool.

And I went up and I

gave like the kind of leadership brief that I gave to the SEAL platoons.

And I think in his mind, I was going to get up and be like, you need to do pushups or whatever.

And all of a sudden I'm talking about decentralized command and taking ownership and prioritize and execute and all these things.

And then they start Q&A and they start asking me about leadership and I'm answering all these questions.

And by the time I got done, he's like, I want you to talk to every division I have in my company.

And I was like, well, I'm retiring.

And he's like, I will pay you.

And I was like, well, he's like, oh, let's make a deal.

I said, okay.

So I started going around talking to all of his divisions.

And at one of those divisional meetings, the CEO of the parent company was there.
