You see like, you see like Ben Shapiro and those guys.

And early on, I would do like a solo pod once a week.

That to me was so difficult.

Like, it's just so hard because I like, I have a newsletter that goes on.

I love writing my newsletter, but I have time to think about that and time to craft that.

And it's succinct and it's to the point.

When I'm doing a solo pod, or when I was doing them, I would think, I'm trying to fill 15 minutes here.

And you're trying to stretch thoughts out.

And I just felt like I was becoming redundant.

Did you script it?

Yes and no.

I mean, for me, I'm better not scripted.

I'm better like, give me the bullet points of what I want to get to, and then I'll get through it.

And I don't usually have a problem with that.

There are certain things that we obviously do that have to be scripted.

When we're shooting ads and things like that, certain things we have to go to the teleprompter.

I don't necessarily like it though, because I think when people are on the teleprompter, I think it diminishes their personality to me.

I think you lose a little bit of them.

And I think it becomes, I think it's, for me, when I'm watching video, in most cases, it's painfully obvious when people are reading.

It requires practice.
