Taking care of my mind, my body, being fully in tune, managing stress levels and letting amazing things, I'd say allowing amazing things to happen to me and for me. And then to have the awareness so that I'm experiencing them as they happen. And now I have this kind of calling or feeling there's nothing I get more pleasure from than helping other people.

Yeah. Yeah. It wasn't like it was this miserable time. It was just that I thought that's the way that the world worked. We're here. I grew up Catholic as a kid. We're taught you're here to suffer. Don't want too much. And life is supposed to be hard. And so I just thought that's just the way that it was. And as a man, oftentimes we're not taught that it's okay to feel.

And that was something that in my upbringing was taught to me that you get rewarded when you do well. Something I had to unlearn later in life. But through those times, I started as a sales rep and quickly ascended to a manager position. I've always had a propensity, a desire, and I'm very good at leading people, but more importantly, teams.

I love the idea that we can get more accomplished as a group than we can as any individual. And I'm very good at bringing those elements out of a team to get great results. So I was working for a company called Regus. People mostly know of WeWork. Regus was WeWork back in the 2000s.

So I was running, I ran everything from the Western U.S., Canada to the Northern U.S., about 250 locations, hundreds of millions of dollars in budget. And it was my job to go and take over different teams, make sure that they came together and that we produced great results.

And so after 14 years, I felt this kind of anxiousness that the rest of the world was passing me up. Not everyone is really into office space. There's all these technologies. And I felt like there would have to be more. So I left to pursue more.
