It's crazy.

I pay 30% of my income.

I don't even want to know what the number is, but yeah, as soon as you get above like a certain threshold, it gets to kicks into 30%.

It's crazy to think about what the economy looked like prior to 1916.

It was unconstitutional to have direct taxes.

No, it was an opportunity presented itself.

And I was already really interested in content.

My background was in filmmaking and producing.

And so I had always been doing that.

And then suddenly there was some fuel to it.

This door kind of opens.

And it would have been foolish to not at least just see where it would take me.

And that's kind of what inevitably snowballed and caused them, I think, to get rid of me.

And then it was like, well, I'm going to do my best.

And it was scary for a while because I was like, at that point I had like 50,000, less than 50,000 subscribers.

So that was not financially viable.

So it was definitely for like six months, it was very nerve wracking.

No, no.

It was looking back on it.

I don't know.
