The video is pretty bad, by the way.

Maybe we could put that in there later.

They even got the video.

I got the surveillance.

Yeah, the security footage of it is pretty gnarly.

So that's when I really started to put more time into Fit Responder, which is my online fitness coaching business for first responders, cops, firefighters.

and working with clients.

Because I was already doing that on the side.

It was like a side gig, side hustle, so to speak.

So I'm like, well, I'm laid up here with my snapped ankle.

What should I do with my time?

So I just put more effort into social media, finding clients, learning business, and things just exploded.

We had more clients than we knew what to do with.

I was making more money than I was as a cop.

And that's when I started to think, you know what?

Maybe when my ankle's better, I'm not going to go back to work.

Yes, so yeah, 2019 is when this was all kind of happening, right during COVID.

But I officially pulled the plug in 2021.

So I healed up, I went back to work for a little bit.

Yeah, my wife and I had done a bodybuilding show, amateur, and we had a fitness coach, you know, and he was coaching me through it.
