0:00.0	Max, what is up, brother?
0:03.0	How you doing, Jordan?
0:05.0	Man, I'm doing great.
0:06.0	I'm very excited to speak with you.
0:08.0	I haven't done an InterCircle podcast in a minute, so I'm really excited to do this.
0:14.0	And I read your email, I read your story, it's extraordinary, and I'm just excited to get to know you better and learn more about you.
0:22.6	Sounds great. Me too. I'm here to, you know, interject some laughs, make it funny.
0:29.5	And my one new joke that I have that I tell all my friends now is I have more doctors than I have
0:34.9	close friends. So not exactly what you want at 43 years old, but, you know, I'm making it work. You're making it work. You do what you got to do. And, I mean, listen, from what I read in your story, it's incredibly inspirational. I think it's going to help a lot of people. And how about before we get into that, just like, just tell me a little about yourself, who you are, where are you from? What do you do? Just want to get to know you better. Yeah, great. So I grew up in a small little town called Jamestown up in the foothills. It's by Yosemite, if you know where that's at. Okay. So country, 900 whole whopping people. So get away with nothing. Everything you did, your parents found out about. So close-knit community. My dad was a
1:12.4	pharmacist. My mom was a special ed administrator and the school board president. So I really

1:29.7	Stockton and northern central California, where we live now and been here 26 years and went to
1:37.3	college here and then met my wife. We were actually TAs for the same class. Oh, cool. And met
1:43.6	during office hours. And then that's how her love
1:46.8	story began. And then we just never left. We both got jobs. She's been teaching at the same
1:51.8	university. Surprisingly in the same class she was a TA for for 18 years. Wow. And then I just
1:59.9	changed gears after I found out about all my wonderful health stuff
2:04.4	the summer and gave up my 18 and a half years of, you know, high pressure sales, banking,
2:11.1	lending. And now I'm a professor of finance teaching at the University of Pacific as well. So I'm loving life, man.
2:18.6	That's amazing. I love that, man. That's incredible. And so are you in an undergraduate,
2:23.7	is that who you teach undergrads? I teach undergrads. So it's last semester I taught,
