I wake up super early, but you know what?

Before, when I went in, I was 31 and I never, since then, I've never slept more than two hours.

Like even if I don't have to get up to go to the bathroom, I wake up and I'll go right back to sleep.

But last year I started cold plunging and that all changed.

I'm getting five, six hour blocks of sleep.

I don't want to talk about cold plunge because everybody who cold plunges thinks that they're like God with the Ten Commandments and they need to hand that to the next person.

But it has been life changing for me.

Yeah.

Oh, so I go to boarding school, Cascade School.

It's gotten a little notoriety, these types of schools lately, because Paris Hilton's been bringing attention to them because she did the Provo Canyon, you know, same kind of schools that she was talking about.

Basically, there's rich kids and court orders and just basically where the parents, you know, couldn't do anything.

So I get there in 11th grade, no high school credits.

I do four years of high school in two years, finish on a role dean's list, get accepted to Berkeley and get an academic ride to USC.

So here I am.

That sounds like a good ticket to success.

Yeah.

And then, you know, 1260 SAT score, never studied for it, never took a class.

I know the scoring is different now, but back then 1600 was the max.

1260 SAT score, the whole thing, like, you know, but really...

It wasn't intellectually stressful for me to do four years of high school in two years.
