So early age, I was like, shit, how much money do I have to have in a bucket? And now my views of retirement have changed. But early stage was like, how much money do I have to have in a bucket if I want to retire at 65? Because I'm not going to be getting a pension from wherever I'm working. And it was a lot of money.

You start to do the math and you're like, well, if I'm only making X amount of dollars working at 95 in this company, that's really not going to get that bucket of money that I really want to live a good life until I die at 100, 120. God willing, right? So it was really a very logical decision to move away from traditional nine to five as quickly as possible. I started working in tech.

One of the companies I was working at was acquired. That sort of opened my eyes to acquisition and private equity because it was a good exit. The guy made a lot of money. The founder made a lot of money. And then it was a light bulb moment. I just need to find a way to get a piece of a company or to build something that can eventually be acquired.

And that was sort of the rabbit hole that I went down. And then since then, I've worked in a variety of different startups. One was acquired five years ago. It was a broadcast software startup. It was acquired by Grass Valley. I've done the fractional CRO stuff. I've worked full time as co-founder CRO. So I just stuck around the startup universe.

And that sort of led me into what my content is right now, which is speaking to entrepreneurs, talking to entrepreneurs.

anything anything that anything that is about entrepreneurship building from zero that stuff really interests me because i think that is i think that is people's path to freedom it's finding a way to build something from scratch build something that you own and i think that that's something that everybody should at least

If it's not something they jump into head first, which I don't think is smart, they should at least start to understand that to future proof themselves from being laid off, from not having a pension, from understanding that companies don't really give a shit about you at the end of the day. So I sort of just champion entrepreneurship as much as possible.

But none of that shit is entrepreneurship in my mind. I mean, there's bullshit entrepreneurship. It's gambling. Yeah, it's gambling. But then there's real like, okay, so you went to college, you went to university, you got your degree. Yeah. Smart. Now you've grown up a little bit. Mm-hmm.
