Start a business with you.

And I think it was because in that moment of my life in 2014, I was starting to feel comfortable with who I was in finance.

I was doing a job at Anchorage Capital I knew I was very good at.

And I knew that I could probably do it forever.

It was the first time ever where I felt like if they stopped the music, they were still going to need me at Anchorage to be that relationship execution trader, because I truly was very good at that job.

But I knew that I was not going to get better.

They weren't going to name me a PM or a partner, or I'd never wanted to go start my own finance company, but that was okay.

I was sitting in that feeling of stagnation.

And I wasn't making a rash decision.

I wasn't calling Blue Mountain up or Citadel or Millennium to try to start my own pod.

I was sitting in it.

And I think that time, every time I would feel that, it was like, well, maybe there's something else.

And then there's this person in my life who I believe deeply in.

And then I went and did it.

And I think...

When I decided that that was going to be the time to do it, I was then trying to start putting intentions down on a piece of paper where it wasn't just an idea now.

Okay, I said it out loud.

Now, how am I going to put this on a piece of paper?

How do I start this journey in a thoughtful way?

And it was putting little, small, attainable goals first.
