Yeah, I think, so I think there's two sides to that. So one, I have both had the money and not had the money at different times, right? So I felt it both ways. Here's where I kind of come out on this. I honestly don't know if you can do it the way everyone does it and truly be successful and happy anymore. I think even the people that choose that path, I don't think they're happy with that path.

I think they've just made a compromise to find harmony in their life and in maybe another place, right? Like I really love doing hundred mile runs and being at my kids sports games. So I'm going to work this, you know, nine to five type job that, you know, maybe I can do well, but don't particularly care for. But it allows me to do the other things that I have in my life.

I think if you consciously make that decision, and that was a big part of where the TED Talk came from, if that's a conscious decision, more power to you. I think where people really, and I think this is where a lot of people are finding themselves today, is... they didn't consciously make that decision, right?

Now they're flailing and searching and grasping and chasing every $27 faceless YouTube video course they can buy to try to find something that's fulfilling in their life. Or they turn to drugs or alcohol or sex, or they, you know, you know, whatever, whatever other destructive thing they can do, um, because they weren't consciously making decisions.

They were, they were following a path that they thought they were supposed to follow. That being said, um, I think you have to find your way of doing things and it's the only way to do it. I think if you've already made it, it's substantially easier because, because of the transfer that you get the transfer expertise.

So if you are, you're very successful at one thing and then you pick a second thing that you want to be very successful at. A lot of the trust respect that you get in the other will be transferred over and that makes it a lot easier to jump.

an appropriate timeframe to be successful, I think you can do it on the side. I absolutely think you can. I think what people miss on that is, I think where people miss is they set expectations like it's the only thing they're doing. They have plenty of cash in the bank to ride through the downtimes. When that person, it may only take them six months to a year to get where they want to be.

One, I love the way that you're approaching this topic. Like, I think it's fucking incredible. I think this is a topic that no one is talking about, yet everyone is dealing with, a la the conversation we just had in the green room. Like, there are – I think this is a real existential problem.

And, like, you know, I know part of the catalyst for writing this book was your dad and the issues that he went through, the health stuff that he went through. But – Uh, like, where did this come from in your own life? Like, was this something you were dealing with and you felt like you had to get through this and then you wanted to write it or are you dealing with it right now?
