I'm so happy to be here.

Dude, we had a great conversation.

I like felt like we should have been just recording our first hang.

So I'm glad we got this.

Man, as a kid, I was always the heavy kid, you know, really overweight, but tried to play the sports.

I would always make the team because I was tall and I would always be the biggest disappointment.

You know, like I would play entire seasons of football as a kid and not gain muscle mass and not drop weight.

It didn't make any fucking sense.

I would play, I would like two a day football summer practice, you know, like endless, like the whole season.

And it was just like really tough.

And medicine kind of failed me as a kid.

Like no one had a solution for me.

I saw an endocrinologist.

They were like,

oh, your thyroid's on the low end of normal, so we can't do anything about that.

Even though my mom had hypothyroidism and that stuff, no one back then would do anything.

And then I got really drawn to computers and programming because it was kind of like my creative art and I was good at it.

And like, it was more fun for me than the sports works.

I sucked at them so much.

And, uh, and that like led me down a path.
