When I was 19, university, I met with two entrepreneurs who'd started a business.

They asked if I wanted to join.

And I had to decide, hardest decision in my life, go take the six-figure investment banking job, traveling on the world, or own 30% of this startup and make $300 a month.

I'd rather no one fail than not know.

So I'll just do it and see what happens.

You know, because you started very early on, you know, there's been a trend the last

couple years. A lot of people got into YouTube, let's give the audience a little bit of context. You know, because you started very early on. You know, there's been a trend the last couple of years. A lot of people get into YouTube. But you've been at this a lot longer than most people in the personal development space, certainly. So kind of walk me through, you know, how did you end up going from, you know, kind of your background? if you could give us a little bit of context there, into your first foray into YouTube. What was that like? Sure. And I'll go quick and you can

tell me if you want to dive deep into anything and pull on that thread. Growing up, I always thought

I wanted to be a banker. I loved making money. And I thought that was my ideal job. And when I was

19 university, I met with two entrepreneurs who started a business. They asked if I wanted to join.

And I had to decide, hardest decision in my life, go take the six figure investment banking job,

traveling on the world or own 30% of this startup and make $300 a month.

And I thought, you know what?

I'd rather no one failed than not know.

So I'll just do it and see what happens.

I can get another job in a year.

It may not be the same job, but whatever.

I'll get another job if it doesn't work out.
