Yeah. These guys all endorsed my books and gave me this praise. There's nothing I could do for them. It is funny because, and I learned this in the penitentiary system, Like the guys that are yoked like you, right? You go in the weight pile with those guys, they're encouraging you. Come on, man, you can do it, dude. Don't hurt yourself. Those guys encourage.

The guy who's not doing it, the guy sitting on the sidelines. Talking shit. Oh, look, a tough guy over there going to get buff on the weight pile. Same thing. I used to run a lot. When I was in a penitentiary, I used to run 30 miles a week. And the guys who never run, oh, look at Mr. Running Shot. The other runners out there, come on, man, you can do this. It's amazing.

The people who are the most successful are the most generous with their praise. And the guy who's on the sidelines who's not in the game is the one that's going to criticize. And if you look at social media, a perfect example, I got this nasty – I meant to show it to Krista. I got this nasty gram from this lady last night because I've been following you for years.

And I came in through Patrick Shaw's organization. He was a friend of mine. And I just thought you were like – and all you care about is money now. That's all you care about. And I'm like, well, that's interesting because I was in a federal penitentiary last week working with guys for nothing. I never charged for that stuff.

But it's amazing how critical and obnoxious people will be, but it's always the people who aren't doing it. I guarantee the guys that criticize you are the guys who can't do what you do or won't do what you do.

Well, they're watching your stuff.

That's true.

That's true.

Yeah. No, I can sum it up in a few minutes, really. It's simple. And as I always say, it's easy. It's just easier not to. There's nothing fantastic about what I do. When I first started selling, I'm living in a halfway house, and I get a job selling air conditioners. And it changed my life. This industry completely changed my life.

And this was 20 years ago. Changed my life. Everything I have I owe to the HVAC industry. Even the other stuff I do for the FedExes of the world and the Comcast and that kind of stuff, none of that stuff happens if the HVAC thing didn't happen. Those books never happen. None of that stuff happens. So I am...

I'm in a bookstore in 2004 and just started selling, and I see a copy on the magazine rack of American Scientific Mind and a guy that apparently you know well. Cialdini had written an article for that magazine about the persuasion principles, the seven principles. Persuasion, persuasion, yeah, seven principles. I love that. I love him so much. He's 79.
