But but I didn't you know, I was college dropout and I didn't I wasn't an engineer.

And I was like, how am I going to get a piece of this?

And and so I just started kind of studying and looking.

And what I found was that you could get a piece of it by learning how to trade.

And so, you know, several things, coincidences led to me ending up moving to.

New York City and going through the grueling process of learning to trade stocks.

Oh, let's see.

I left Wall Street in 2001-ish after the crash.

I kind of like battled it out for another year, but my income dropped by like 90%.

And that job isn't actually that much fun.

Oh, it wasn't like that.

Uh, it was, I, I just had, um, I borrowed 50 grand from my dad and was literally buying and selling stock for myself.

Okay.

So, uh, so yeah, my, my income was, you know, I did very well.

I was, I made several million dollars as a, as a young man.

Uh, um,

And, uh, and then all of a sudden, like, I don't know, in 2000, I probably made a couple million dollars.

And then in 2001, I probably made a hundred grand for, for more work.

Um, and that just to me at the time was like, why am I doing this anymore?

I'm not, I'm not interested.
