You know, I grew up in a church and my dad was a pastor.

I just thought my dad did a great job of just adding value to people's lives.

And he got to he was so involved in the community.

And I just was so mesmerized that people would come together every single Sunday and hear him talk.

And I thought, man, what an awesome way to impact somebody's life.

And you don't use stages to beat people up.

I think you use stages to encourage people and build people up.

And so I just kind of enjoyed it.

And I just kind of had a knack for and I was pretty comfortable in front of people.

And I just tried to work on my craft and just serve people and trying to add value as best I could.

I started speaking at a bunch of churches around the country.

One day, an executive from a what was the name of that company?

They were a credit union.

Okay.

They said, Hey, will you come and just do like our staff development day?

And I was like, sure.

And so I did.

And I just, I, I'm a, I'm a proponent of give your best to the opportunity that is in front of you.

Not the opportunity you want in the future.

No, the opportunity that's in front of you, you're given an opportunity to speak to 10 people, go crush it with those 10 people.
