What's the worst that can happen? He would say no. I said, hey, what are the chances that I could get out there and open a pack with you on Ford Field? It's a good line.

And he said, come on by January 6th. It was the number one game of the season, by the way. And I got to open a pack and that video was one of their top most viewed videos for a while, which means that they might invite me back. I also now with the San Diego Football Club, the new MLS soccer team. Yeah, let's go. There's a team here now? Oh yeah, first year. This year?

First year major leagues this year, yes. That's cool. And they invited me to come out because a bunch of their guys watch the channel. And it's like when you put yourself out there in the world, your vibe will attract your tribe. And it's been the coolest thing, you know, to just be me. And for the longest time in my life, I didn't feel like I was good enough.

I was short, like literally five feet tall my senior year of high school. I was bullied. I never felt like I belonged except in the marching band where all the other nerds who were picked on existed. And that's where I found my home in marching band. And then I eventually realized that when you embrace your weird, that makes you unique and it brings other people like them or like you together.

And now I have this community of a million followers of other weird Pokemon nerds. It's amazing. 42 year old Pokemon nerds.

Right. I once heard, I think it was our good friend, Chris Ducker, who said, do what you do best, delegate the rest. And that's what I've learned to do. Now, that's not easy to do when you're just starting out because you have to wear all the hats. But eventually, with SPI, my entrepreneurial brand, I'm just on the podcast and I'm writing email newsletters, which I love to do.

I'm no longer hitting publish in WordPress anymore. And that's allowing me to have more energy for the things I love to do. And I found people who love hitting publish in WordPress. There are those weird people out there, right? And it's been really cool to see, even in parallel, your evolution as well, and the new phases of your life, and you're newly married, and now your new book.

It's just, I'm so proud of you, Lewis. I know that we both have gone through some rough patches and hard times over the years, and I'm proud of you.

My mind goes to a lot of creators who I work with who struggle because they're doing the work and they're not seeing the results. They're creating the videos and they're not seeing the views. They're publishing on TikTok and they're not seeing the likes. And a good friend of mine, Alex, a different Alex, once said, count uploads, not likes. And I was like, man, that is so powerful.
