And I start making like hundreds of thousands of dollars.
And within a year or two, I get hired by Kenner Fitzgerald to go to London to run European and Asian commodity sales and trading for Kenner.

I've got a brand new Porsche at that time.

I'm like, they're going to find out that I'm stupid and I shouldn't be here.

I'm just figuring it out on the fly.
Like it was all happening so fast.
I had an ankle surgery, got prescribed some opioids and I was like, see you later.
I'm like, I'm the most confident person in the world.
I'm good.
I don't have any concerns.

Like ever she drinks, she like not excessively, but she'll have a drink, but she's like completely naive.
