And the guy that I was working with at the time, not Jordan, but this other guy, Zach, who was a Green Beret, he was helping me with elite meet.
we were like, hey, why don't we create a Patreon channel so it becomes sort of like, if you want access to us on a really personal level, it was very cheap, but it was like, people need to show they're committed to it, like pay five bucks or whatever.
But then we have this sectioned off group of people that we can like,
train with we can give them i was making podcasts like four or five times a week for these guys i was like pouring my heart and soul out because some of these guys went on to become navy seals it was like really cool um but that that was i only did the operators association uh for like eight or nine months before um one i felt like i had sort of given all the stuff i could give and
And also my currency as a Navy SEAL was dwindling because things changed quickly in the teams, the training changes.
Like what I went through is probably comparable to what you do now, but it's not the same.
And YouTube was really becoming my main focus.
And so I handed everything to Zach and I said, go forth with Operators Association.
And he still does.
He's still running it now.
And he's more of like the...
bring the guys to a location and like put them through literal physical training.
And it's like really grueling and people love it.
So that's sort of transitioned into that.
But the logo for operators association, it's actually me in Afghanistan.
It's my silhouette of me in Afghanistan with a backpack on like about to make entry into some building.
And so that my legacy is I'm still on the logo, but I, I'm not involved with it anymore.
Oh man, I was lost as a 19 year old.
So I grew up in Quincy, Mass, which is just south of Boston, Massachusetts.
very successful family, like maybe not like financially hugely successful, but definitely not hurting.
