I was like, worst case scenario, like I'm going to build this like Facebook following or Instagram following.

And it's going to be a way I can show people like what I got going on, whether it's selling a product or whatever.

And yeah,

I found out that like posting my action sports stuff was getting engagement.

Well, we didn't even have that word back then when social media was started.

We didn't really call it engagement.

I don't even know.

Just got likes.

And by the time I noticed I was getting more engagement.

So I kept building it.

By doing that, just what I love to do.

And I remember when I won the world title, I was working full time.

I was plumbing and bartending and serving.

Yeah.

And that was the first year I was like, I'm going to do every stop on the tour.

And I just chose odd and end jobs because it's what gave me the most freedom.

I've always been on a trajectory with a grandiose plan in mind, but I knew that there was going to be a lot of shitty jobs or things I didn't want to do along the way just to get me there.

Ooh, that's a good one.

Typically throughout history, yes.

So I chose things that just gave me a lot of freedom.
