it sort of gave you that little bit of humanity to it.
I mean, you'll get other characters that are literal gods like Thor, but you have this aspect of Superman that he is also Clark Kent.
He's also the guy in the office that people sort of look down on because he's not sporty and he's a bit book-learning rather than sort of being a jock, even though secretly he's a jock.
Comic book artist Mike Collins.
Yeah, he got himself in some trouble. He's had a rocky road.
Did he have any drug issues? His dad had seen some behaviors in Matthew that were concerning. The concern for Matthew being back on narcotics was it was out there.
Francesca's the one that's been telling me, they call me, tell me things. And every time, it's something different. Ever since the second day he's been gone, she's made remarks like, Oh, he's probably being held against his will somewhere, or he's dead. You know, just little stuff like that.
And the feel that I get walking these sites is almost every major site, if not all of them, have been inherited by the cultures that we currently attribute them to. Peru, in my opinion, is comparable, if not surpassing, places like Egypt. I'm watching people reconstruct sites and take old ancient blocks and cut them with stone saws to make them fit into the wall that they're recreating.
for that site. The history that we know of here in the Americas, specifically North America, isn't what we've been told. Now all of the rock and everything that's been excavated from those caves, they've never found. And we're talking about tens of thousands of tons of excavated rock that's never been accounted for. If there was ever a place for the argument for geopolymer,
In my opinion, Sacsayhuaman is a great example to explore that idea. I think that the cart ruts are tied into coring stone and that they served a purpose for movement. The archaeologists dismissed it because they knew that they had drastically rearranged the exterior of the structure of Chichen Itza.
What a doozy of a first question. Yeah. I went straight to the challenge. Yeah. Put me on my heels right away. Yeah. Um, I think about seven or eight years. Okay.
Um, Yeah, I like to say I officially retired in 2016. I quit an old job there. And then I really wanted to travel. The plan was to take a year off and travel. But a year turned into two years. And I figured I better figure out a way to... maybe make some money at this or turn it into something. Right. So that's what I did. So I kind of started around 2018, maybe 2019, somewhere in there. Cool.
Recording.
Yeah, this last year... Yeah, I've been a lot of growth on this last year. I made a lot of changes over the last two years. And I think a lot of that really started coming into effect over the last year, which has been great.
Yeah, for sure. Yeah.
Well, I did pretty well for myself working in a job that I was really miserable at. I worked in sales. And, you know, so I had a lot of money saved up. And that was able to kind of propel me forward for quite a while. Luckily, until I'll be honest with you, until this year, I really thought I was going to have to maybe make some changes this year, especially at the beginning of this past year.
I say this year, 2024. you know, there was a plan last year that if things didn't start kind of hitting within a specific period of time, I had set a date that I was going to have to get a job. And then things started kind of taking off a little bit enough, enough to pay the bills. Right. And, um, And I, uh, I served in the military. I get disability from that, from my time in there.
And that really has been helpful. Um, so, uh, yeah, um, it's 2024 is a great year for seeing growth and, um, it was very exciting, a lot of great opportunities and chance to work with a lot of really amazing people. Um, and so, uh, yeah, looking forward to what else is to come. Yeah. Cool.
A lot. I should probably tally that up at some point because I get asked that a lot. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Maybe over 50 or something. I don't know.
There you go. There it is.
