You must not want my business enough, right?

But I love how you framed it as, yes, I can't do the 25.

I could do the 15, but I will need a testimonial

Or something in return, if you could go ahead and commit.

I love that.

Yeah.

So Eddie, for the beginners that are going to be tuning into this interview and they're listening and they're dreaming of building something that lasts.

Okay.

What's the one principle of scaling you wish everyone understood before they start?

wow that's amazing eddie what would be one piece of advice that you would have told younger eddie in the very beginning when you first started out in entrepreneurship brother oh man so i was at a like this fun little thing uh in dc and i met these young entrepreneurs and they were really so nice uh and both of them had become parents you know and um

I had asked at one of my live events last month.

And the question that I got asked, I actually got emotional when I said this because it was a long day and I just got off the phone with my wife and we're expecting my son coming here in the next month and a half.

Awesome.

So I'm looking forward to fatherhood myself.

But the question that I was asking, I'm going to ask you the same question is, what did you have to sacrifice to have the life that you have now?

And that is the question I'm asking you, Eddie.

What did you have to sacrifice?

in order to have the life that you built?

Yeah, just the podcast alone, two years, but full-time entrepreneurship.

I left law enforcement back in right before 4th of July in 2021.
