Yeah, I've had a very vanilla life. I hope I have something interesting to share.

The journey, as it often is, was a little unexpected. So if you go way back to the early 90s in elementary school, never even once did I consider that I would end up in the field of sales or leadership or anything like that. So if you imagine that 50 pound geeky boy with, you know, the pot cut hair with a little ponytail.

And every time I had to like read a poem in front of the classroom or something, sometimes I got nosebleeds because I was so scared and afraid of talking in public. My face would always, always turn red. So yeah, like sales, not for me. But, you know, as I got older, I got a little bit more confidence. I was at least able to speak to people, right? But when I was in college, my older brother,

But when I was in college, my older brother,

kind of by accident went to sell books in USA. So once I had done it for a couple of years, I figured that, hey, if you can do it, I should probably do it as well. I always had this feeling that, you know, I was a good kid. My grandmother said that you're a nice boy. I got good grades in school and so on. But I never really had the feeling that I had tested myself.

And as the years went by, it started to bother me more and more. So I saw this chance to go to the States. and sell educational books door to door, kind of as a test to see if I really was who I thought I was. And I was still scared. I actually was supposed to go the first year I got into college, but I didn't.

I had many excuses of all the great things I would be doing back in my home country in Estonia. And what I ended up doing is I ended up playing a lot of games, computer games over the summer. I actually made money like that. So it was the first serious money I made in my life playing computer games. So I figured I would do it next year.

And when next year came, I figured I would do it next year because I had new excuses. So I caught myself that if I always think I'm going to do the scary things next year, soon I'll be older than dead and I will have done nothing.

Yeah. It was not poker or anything. It was this new kind of concept that was like an online world where you could be whoever, like, I don't know, a hunter or whatever. And the in-game money was convertible to actual money and vice versa. Wow. So my last year of high school and first couple of years of college, I made, I think, $20,000 or $30,000, which back in that time was a lot.

I didn't do anything smart with that money, apart from paying for the tickets and visa and everything that I got to go to the States. And of course I bought myself a really rad car with extra added lights and chameleon color and very stupid.
