Yeah, I saw that. When you're winning, you kind of think you keep winning. I promise you they come out next year fucking hungrier than they've ever been. Getting embarrassed like that on national TV at that stage is a whole nother level. And that's what happened to me. I was very young, naive. I was spending lots of money at the club, being silly. I thought I had everything figured out. Having fun.

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, listen, I was the boss, not a leader. That's the big thing that changed. You asked that earlier. I did transition from a boss to a leader. I don't want to be a boss to anyone. I want to lead leaders and I want to be a beacon to them. I want to help them and guide them and, you know, level them up.

And if they level up, if I level humans up in my organization, the organization levels up. You know, so that was not the old me. That's like new talk track for me for the last 12 years. The old me was like, this is the way it's done. No, you can't question me. I'm the boss kind of thing. So I just got cocky, man. You know, I thought I figured it out.

Not only that, I wish I understood the torch method. I didn't understand opportunity cost. I didn't understand time. You know, I didn't understand my time involved. You know, we take for granted. We were like, oh, yeah, it's only going to take an hour a day. Every business I buy, every business I buy, they're like, well, you only spend a couple hours a day. I'm like, how? Like you think about it.

You're not even sleeping three hours a night because you're stressed out, overwhelmed of what you've got to do tomorrow. Like that's thinking. And oh, by the way, you're working 12 hours a day.

Oh, it's real. Yeah, it's very real. So, yeah, that was like the biggest lesson, man. It's just like, you know, be humble. I'm a student forever. I'm constantly investing in myself. We are the best investments in ourself. Obviously, you know that, Brandon. So, you know, I'm like, I always want to learn. I'm very curious not to just learn, but curious to be better.

You know, who's doing it better than me? Like, as you know, as you get bigger, it's not about competition. It's about collaboration.

You know, when you're, when you're in the beginning, it's all about competition. You're always worried about everyone's trying to take your client, take your buyer, take your seller, whatever. Dude, like at the end of the day, it's like, I'm like, how do we collab? This is what you do. This is what I do. How do we do more together? What's one plus one equals four? How do we do that?

And but this is comes with maturity, longevity, getting kicked in the face many, many times, you know, so I don't get this ugly face by not getting kicked a bunch of times. That's for sure.

Yeah, I have two communities, the DM family. It's a $50,000 a year community. There's 33 guys in that group, high level. It's maxed out. We don't go over 33. It's a little bit more hands-on. A lot of guys have exited companies for big money. A lot of guys have built pretty large companies, nine figures or more, some eight. And then I have the DM Alliance. It's $1,000 a month.
