Full Episode
My wife at the time said that she had cancer. She's getting millions of views on every single video. This is now funding her lifestyle.
So 800,000 for one guy, 600,000 for another guy. I did not want to have to really come forward, but I had a private practice optometry clinic. I hired her best friend. And so we were introduced. I call her Aaron in the story. We were introduced by Aaron. She worked for me. And she's like, I have a friend and all this stuff and, you know, show me pictures. And so we started talking in that regards.
Like she's trying to set you up with her. Yeah, exactly. Like she was like, Hey, I have, you know, and so we went out a couple of times and started, you know, hanging out and really just, you know, hitting it off in a lot of ways. And, At that time, because I own my own business, I'm very business-focused on it. So for her, I think that was the way that she is. She's like a chameleon.
She will mimic your moves. If I was into this, she's into this. So I was really big into building the business, building the practice, and she was all about that. So I felt like we really connected over that drive. And she said she had done other business things in the past, but...
It turns out she didn't, but I was like, you know, you know, so we really connected on, you know, false things, but really knew that was what would connect with me. And so, um, Got married. We met in 2017, got married in 2018. And so that's fast. Yeah, it was fast.
Yeah. So was it fast just because she was like super cool and interesting and amazing?
And yeah, it really was. It was basically I was at a place in my life where I was in my early 30s. I had accomplished everything and I was ready for that next step. And, you know, I think she took advantage of that aspect of, you know, have my business, you know, had a house, I had all these things. So I was looking for the next aspect of my life, which was a relationship.
So I felt like, you know, guiding that, you know, aspect of her where she really took advantage and how she operates and really you know, we're step for step every, you know, step of the way where I'm just like, Oh, this is perfect. I met my soulmate, you know? And so, yeah, it was, you know, obviously pretty fast.
And, and from there, that's where she kind of got involved in my practice and started, you know, kind of being like the tech office manager and really helping out with, you know, build, build the business. What was she doing for a living when you met her? So she said that she was working at a special needs school as like a teacher. Was that true? No.
