Yeah, yeah.
You're in shape.
It's ridiculous because in 2014, I really started in the gym.
I kind of said I did before, but I was getting by.
little but i i was on the slopes i was a professional skateboarder as well as snowboarders so all summer long like i'm competing and pumping the ramp and like i never had a break so like all the guys that just like kicked it in thailand or wherever you know like i was like in the hunt still you know having to be in a pressure situation competing exercising all the things so um yeah it wasn't until like 2014 i i really started
working out and then a big one was um you know i had found a new manager i found a new you know uh publicist to work with i found amazing physical therapists that was just like super like i started building my little team of everybody that was like really you know on the same page and and knew my goal and help you could help me get there and not kind of get stuck in their own
You know, because it's a very selfless sort of position to be in to assist somebody else, you know, and to help them and be part of that team to get to this place.
So, you know, they're missing birthdays and they're missing, you know, events and things and their relationships are strained, like all that stuff to, you know, help me get my goal.
So, you know, really wonderful people in my corner.
And then a really awesome coach, this guy named JJ Thomas.
And he's an ex-professional snowboarder.
I saw him at the mountain.
We had fun hanging, riding.
And I was like, hey, man, you want to like team up and do that?
And it just the rapport was there.
And so like I had this awesome little team around me.
And then when I found myself at the mountain, I was just like excited to be there.
And the little things that used to bum me out or, you know, put me in a bad state of mind were just gone.
Well, gosh, I mean, I don't think, I think I probably would have just quit.
I'm assuming.
