He goes, that's the language of business.

It's the biggest regret of my life.

I should have majored in finance, maybe accounting, something like that.

So you could figure out business.

I said, okay.

And as I was going to school, I got lucky.

A friend of mine flipped a house, made $80,000 and bought a cool car.

I didn't care about the house or the money.

I cared about the car.

And so we were hanging out.

I said, how'd you get the car?

And he literally pulled out a napkin and penciled out.

It was the first time I ever was exposed to creative real estate investing.

I always thought you needed a license, deep pockets, you know, a fancy watch, a suit, the whole thing, connections.

And here he is, the guy was doing it as like a little side hustle.

And he could explain it on a napkin and anything that's simple enough to explain on a freaking napkin.

my brain can wrap its head around.

And so I took that napkin with me and it was the concept of wholesaling, AKA no money down house flipping, where you're not really buying the real estate.

You're just controlling the real estate and flipping it.

You're very familiar with this world because you've done a lot of real estate stuff, a lot of lead generation.
