I have a new respect for people who do events on a regular basis because it's a lot of work and a lot of logistics and you have to get your timeline right.

When I go to launch a digital product, I can literally do it in 12 hours and be done.

But you can't do that with events.

You have to have a lot of prep work and stuff.

So I have a newfound respect for the leaders of our industry who are doing events all the time.

It's a lot of

Like the, the insurance, like what if someone trips and breaks a leg when like, there's just so much that you have to think of for in-person stuff that you don't for online.

So it made me re it really stretched our capacity overall as a team.

And so now our normal work

feels very easy, which is exciting because I think that we're going to just rocket ship to the next level because we've been so stretched with this event.

So I think we're at the beginning of something really exciting, I think, at my company.

Yeah, basically what I do is I create a lot of business and marketing courses and I've been very well known and complimented for my ability to take complicated topics like business, like online marketing, like growing a big audience quickly.

I seem to be very good at breaking it down into practical steps that people can actually implement and get really good results from.

That's what I tend to get a lot of compliments on.

And I'm also known online for my shocking transparency.

So I share not just how much I make every month, not just what my business expenses were.

I share bank statements to prove it.

And I even share like what I spend in my personal life.

So you can go online and share and see how much I've spent on restaurants or what I spent on clothes every month.

And I do it because our industry, like the business marketing industry, is filled with a lot of people who make a lot of big business income claims and don't back it up and are kind of fibbing a little bit or fudging their numbers.
