Right. All right. Cassidy, what is up, brother? How are you? Brian, doing good, man. Thanks for having me.

I'm excited to have you on, man. You left a corporate job. You are an IT engineer, correct?

Walk us through a little bit about where you were and where you are today because a lot of people that I speak with are engineers

and they just tend to think themselves out of all possibilities of a dream life for themselves.

And so I'm curious about your perspective on this journey. Yeah, I was an engineer and I actually

And so there's no surefire guarantee, but there's, like you said,

and you can hear it and you can see it and you can feel it in the language that they're using,

that they're not going to take the step that they need to go invest in real estate or go buy a

business or whatever it is that they're trying to do. You can feel that

energy of talking themselves out of it, finding every reason they get the inspection report and
