And one, I was like, they just fired you and you're still promoting the company.
So that means you must have liked it.
And then two, I don't think they're going to hire me, but what do I got to lose?
You know, what the hell?
Let's try it.
Went, got the job, worked my way up, you know, 10, 11, 11 year career with Capital One.
And then that came from, you know, that conversation with her.
So that
I ended up making a really good salary, six figure job to walk away from that was scary.
Because in my mind, I'm like, I probably didn't even deserve to be here because I don't have a degree, I don't have anything.
If I walk away from this, what's going to happen?
Very scary moment.
Built up a savings, a little nest egg to where if I fail or things don't work out, I can at least sustain living for X amount of months.
And then I had a really good rapport with my job.
I felt like I could go back if I had to.
So those were the things that kind of I played in my mind, like the scenarios.
Actually, the year I quit Capital One, I won sales.
I was salesperson of the year that year.
So it's like winning the Super Bowl and then retiring.
So I was like, they'll hire me back if I don't make it, right?
