And I burrowed inside of me for a little while.

What could I have done differently?

Where did I mess up?

That's something I've always done.

I've never been the blame guy to push it on other people.

I've never played the role of the victim.

And that's not just in business.

It's in relationships.

It's in every aspect of my life.

It's always, I turn inward and it's like, where did I go wrong first?

I kept getting the same answer, even from mentors, investors that were in the company, or even guys on my board, Kevin Harrington from Shark Tank, or David Meltzer from Jerry Maguire.

All these guys are in my circles and literally on the board, and they're like, we don't see anything that you did wrong.

Do you know how hard it is to accept that?

You want to blame something, and it starts at the top usually, but...

Sometimes it doesn't when it gets bigger than yourself.

As we're recording this, there's going to be some really bad tornadoes that are sweeping through Chicago.

Part of my titles would be like storm chaser.

I do actually literally chase them if you want to call it a hobby of mine.

But that was going to be my first career when I was seven, by the way.

Seven years old, I wanted to be a storm chaser.
