Yeah, so I think as I look back, the best place to start is as a kid growing up in Denver, Colorado, I had this growing obsession with the ability to fly. And I would dream about it. and really started to embody that. And then one day as I'm watching the TV, Michael Jordan, basketball player, says, I can fly for a brief amount of time. And I said, that's what I want to do.

And like himself, Dr. J, Dominique Wilkins, I just said, that's exactly what I want to do. I get to feel it in my heart. That's what I wanted. And from that moment forward, every night we had 14 stairs in our house, and I would do 100 toe raises on every stair, 1400, every night before bed. Until I was able to dunk, and then I went on to win the National Slam Dunk Championship in Lubbock, Texas.

that basketball was no longer this dream of flying. You are now grounded, so to speak, and you have to figure something out. So I went with what I thought I knew at the time, which was in athletics, you size up the competition, you outwork everybody, and you get ahead. So I picked an industry at the time that I thought I could make a lot of money. I knew I wanted to be successful.

I knew I wanted to make a lot of money. I knew I was an athlete. I knew I was capable. But I applied those things to the business life. So for the next almost three decades, I practiced sizing up the competition, outworking others and trying to get ahead. And that worked fairly well by most definitions. I would say I was very successful in the corporate world. Then my kids

reached a point where they were now out of college. They were debt free off in the world. And I started to finally have some time to focus on me. And I started asking myself, is this everything that this was meant to be? My whole focus was on my kids, making sure they were successfully launched into the world.

And I just had this kind of feeling in the pit of my stomach that this wasn't Apex Mountain. There is more here. And I was getting some signs and signals that I look back on that caused me to clean up my diet, stop drinking alcohol. I really start to strip away layers of interference to help me get in tune with nature and really listen to what was going on.

And it was started to point me in a direction. It was like tracking these opportunities. to allow the best version of myself to come out and see if I could drop my ego, if I could resolve my identity, not put these outside pressures on who I thought I needed to be, but let who I am really come to the surface and flourish. What would that be like? How amazing could life be?

And I learned so much from that pursuit. Then I launched two companies. And that has led me to really understand what true success is for me. And of course, it has to do with money and success and doing the things you want. But I've been able to rewire myself to think as wealth in terms of success. Being able to do what I want, when I want, with minimal effort, that's wealth to me.

And that can have a monetary component, absolutely. It could involve a private jet, or it could involve just being so content with the miracles happening all around you that you can sit in peace and just know that this alone is an unbelievable miracle. This is all I want to do today is sit and enjoy the miracles going on around me.
