0:00.0	All right I got a great question in my inbox this morning and it is from a guy named Tony L so he says Uncle Sean I love the nickname by the way
0:07.4	Uncle Sean I'm leaning into that he said if you were starting from scratch building an audience again from zero today 2024 if you're starting from but has zero followers today. Tony from Miami. All right, Tony, I got an answer for you.
0:24.1	I feel like I can rude the world. I know I could be what I want to. So first I got to flash my badge. I'm like an FBI officer who walks into the room and I got to show you my credentials if you're going to take me seriously.
0:41.0	So I've built a email following of over 500,000
0:44.4	subscribers. I've built a Twitter following of 400,000 plus on YouTube I think I
0:49.4	have 500,000 plus subscribers. This podcast has done over a hundred million downloads in the last

1:40.3	But I will share with you the wisdom that I wish I had when I was starting from scratch four or five years ago
1:45.7	Versus today knowing what I know now. What is the wisdom that was
1:49.8	Surprising non-obvious that I wish I could have just drilled into my brain then and if you're starting today you could take this now
1:56.8	I'd also like to say that there are many ways to peel the banana and all I know is the way that I do it.
2:02.7	Maybe other people do it a different way.
