that either was chosen for me or that I chose, but I need to get through it.

It's a more difficult challenge maybe than that guy's having.

And I wrote this book when I had a very challenging part, episode in my life, which was I ended up having heart surgery back in like 2018.

And I was at the height of my entrepreneurial career.

And it was during that time that I had gotten

some intuitions while I was recovering.

I mean, I didn't have a traditional near-death experience, but I had some intuitions that I had a plan and a storyline for my life, which was I was supposed to be an entrepreneur, make a lot of money, and then go be a writer.

But instead of doing that, I went on.

And if you had asked me in high school, I would have said, yeah, I'm going to be an entrepreneur, and then I'll be a writer.

It was sort of this knowing that that was part of the story.
