Hello, fellow double capital, hope you're well. I am streaming on a Saturday from New Orleans,

the New Orleans Investment Conference. And I had the opportunity to discuss business and making

money and free market capitalism and politics and Trump and the UFC was my good buddy,

Ed Clay.

And I thought, why not record this conversation?

Because this is a gentleman that I think all of you would really be interested in hearing his backstory.

And then he really personifies what this channel is all about.

Again, it's freedom, liberty, and free market capitalism. So Ed Clay,

welcome to the show, buddy. And why don't we start off by just going over your backstream.

And you and I met in Medellin probably three or four months ago, something like that. And you

started off as a fighter. Is this correct? Yeah. So I started my dad and

uncle were both boxers. I started wrestling when I was 11 and then doing Brazilian Jiu-Sitsu when I was

15 and got a scholarship to wrestle in college, went for like one, and then wanted to focus on fighting.

Opened up my mixed martial arts gym, which is Nashville in when I was 20 years old,

built that to...

What year was that?

Gosh, 2002.

Yeah, it was 20 when it opened.
