Yeah, probably my 20s, to admit it. Yeah, I was very superficial because my understanding of wealth was very external. It was everything that I saw other people. So my definition of wealth was how other people spent it, what kind of car they had, what kind of a house I had. Because I never really met anybody who had great wealth.

I always say there's superficial wealth, which is you live for the way you think you should. You buy a nicer car, you get a bigger lease, you get a bigger mortgage because you think those are the things that you need in order to be successful. And I think once you really achieve great success, you begin to realize I don't actually need another car. I don't need these things to fulfill me.

I think your net worth is not a reflection of your value. Poverty and wealth are situational. So somebody listening to this could be making 50 grand a year, but they're a high power, high value individual.

everybody's at a different stage of their journey you just got to believe that you're learning the skill set in order to get there one day and you've got to have a greater purpose in order to get there so I never thought I was gonna end up where I was You never thought you'd end up where you are now? Well, I never thought I'd end up like I am now.

But even when I was poor, I never thought I'd stay there. Got you. I see what you're saying. It's just that the scope of my dreams wasn't big enough. My dream in my 20s was to make $1,000 for my age. So when I'm 50 to make 50 grand to buy a house and pay it off in my lifetime. Wow. And to buy a Corvette. That was your dream. That was my dream.

That was my like that was the that was my vision board dream. Like that was my like knock it out of the ballpark dream because we didn't know anybody who had done those things. How did you begin to expand your mind to shatter that limit? Again, super curious, super honest with myself. When I bought a used Ferrari and I moved into my house, I was so proud of it.

It was a 1986 Ferrari Testarossa and it was used and there weren't that much money at the time. And I brought it over to my garage and I put it in. And this was my superficial state. So I moved into this neighborhood and I see my neighbor across the street. And his name is Richard, still a friend of mine. So I go over and I'm like, hey, blah, blah, blah. Oh, by the way, look at my car.

So he comes over out in the garage and I'm so proud of it. I've never been arrogant. Like, let me show you why I'm better. I was just so happy. So I show him my Ferrari and he's like, oh my gosh, that's amazing. I love that year. He says, come to my garage. So we go across the street to his garage. He opens up the garage and he has two Porsches. Uh-huh.

And, you know, it's those moments in life that something happens. You're ready to learn it, but you don't know what you need to learn. And then something comes in and those two things fit and it's an aha moment. And I remember it so clearly. He opens the garage. There's two Porsches. And I worked my ass off to buy a used Ferrari.

it took everything I knew to get that car and it wasn't like it was one of many I was it was that and I walked across the street and that guy has two and I couldn't fathom how that could happen like I was like how could he do that interesting And so I walk back and I was thinking, there's something I need to be better at because the road I'm going, I'm never going to get there. Really?
