I've like levied this punishment against you and you're not getting out of it.

And I just built this like resilience and discipline.

Like, no, I got to do this.

Now I feel like, let's get up and go have breakfast.

I'm like, what time do you want to go?

10?

All right, I'm going to get up and run at six or whatever.

You know, I would just do it.

Yeah.

When I was doing the Ironman stuff, I would swim, bike, or run, but I would work out once or twice every single day.

But when I started, when we moved to LA, I was training for the Ironman, so I was biking a lot.

So I would either run or bike every single day.

And-

there was a guy in my neighborhood in the palisades who was into cycling we started riding together he had an asset management firm and i and he didn't have a business development person but he had like two billion dollars in assets under management and i said let me run business development for you and help you grow that the firm and he was like you don't have any experience and we're friends like i don't want to have to fire you it's like we're like too close like i couldn't do that and i said let me come and work for free for three months and see if it works out and it

worked out like really well and after a few weeks he's like okay here's a real finance salary and all of a sudden i was like back and at least had a job and um but didn't seem like you were ever like hurting for money though like it didn't like you weren't struggling no but i was running out of money i wasn't like no one would have known i was struggling but i was like getting low like i was getting low because were you overspending what you had basically yeah like i was like i had an a

crazy expensive apartment in a gated neighborhood up in the palisades i was like i didn't need all this stuff i had nice cars and i was like i gotta figure out a way to make more money or it's gonna run out and i got like dangerously low on cash but i never told my wife hey we're low on money and that's the relationship we have though she we have very traditional relationships she handles the kids she manages the house she doesn't ask about money i don't tell her what to spend she just she's like oh i want to do this i want to do that and i'm like yeah go ahead or sometimes she'll be like

can we do this, this, this?

I'm like, can you wait till next month?

Or yeah, do it.

Normally I'm just like, do what you want.
