I mean, it was it was amazing, you know, getting through. I tell the story in the book, too, about imposter syndrome is a great proxy. You know, Damon John is on Shark Tank. Damon grew up like a mile from me. A lot of similarities. He's black. I'm white. That's a big difference. But he worked at Red Lobster. I was at McDonald's.

Like, so we kind of connect on this, like, who's poorer than who thing, you know? Yeah. I went to the dressing room and I was just honest. I was like, man, I'm so freaked out going on this show. And he was like, why? And I was like, I don't know. I just kind of feel like, what am I doing here? And he would first, I left everybody else. He's like, look what we did. Look where we came from.

And then he told me the one greatest piece of advice I love sharing to this audience. Like, because you belong here because you are here. And I always say it's like, oh, Plato or Socrates, like you belong here. I think therefore I am. I belong here because I am here. Anyone here ever feels out of place. There is no final arbiter of belonging. No one's going to let you know you've arrived.

It's for you to realize if you're in the room, you're meant to be in the room. after that little pep talk, the experience was amazing. Everything you see on the show, oddly is the way it is on the show. And so, cause you, I thought there'd be way more scripting and it's like lights, camera action. And also everyone is so rude steps on each other. Like, cause it's real money at stake.

And when I say rude, I'm being kind of playful, but, Like there's no, there, there, there, there's no like chivalry. Everyone's trying to win the deal. And as a mental exercise, it's fun. Cause when you're home, you're like, I would do that deal.

And you're like doing the math when you're like trying to sell somebody and make you thinking that you're the one you stay, you know, you should take your money. But at the same time, you're assessing whether you want to do the deal. There's a lot going on in your mind at the same time, which I think is really interesting psychologically.
