0:00.0	Hey everyone, welcome to another episode of My First Million. This is producer Ben.
0:03.2	And this week we had Sully on the podcast Sully Mon Ali, a long time friend of the show. In fact,
0:08.7	such a long time friend of the show that he was the very first episode of My First Million.
0:13.2	And a lot of people haven't heard that first interview. It goes a little deeper on how
0:17.6	Sully made his money, how he actually made his first million, how he got his start, his origins.
0:22.9	And so I think a lot of people haven't heard some of those first episodes. This is a really great one.
0:27.0	And so we thought we would pair it this week with Sully's more recent interview. So today we are

1:13.8	companies. He's an investor in over 40 companies. And we're here to hear that story of how he made his
1:18.8	first million. It's a wild wacky story where he won't believe the way that he did it. You have to
1:23.6	hear it to believe. He's going to be telling us about his first company, his second company,
1:27.4	some of the investments he's made and it's an awesome conversation. I'm excited for you guys to listen.
1:32.0	Here we go.
1:32.4	All right, we're rolling. This is my first million podcast where we talk to entrepreneurs,
1:50.2	investors to find out the back stories of their businesses. We want to hear the good, the bad,
