0:00.0	What's crazy is literally not the best artists make the most money, which that shouldn't be the only
0:04.2	goal, but it's almost a service and what a beauty to that you can put yourself out there.
0:10.0	And not even the best half, you don't have to be the best to win. I think about it as well
0:13.3	with cycling. I'm a huge cyclist. And, you know, I think traditionally people are like,
0:17.5	well, I have to cycle and win tournaments. And I met an interview to a guy who was in the Tour de France.
0:22.1	I think he makes like 150,000, which is still pretty good money for biking.
0:27.6	But then you could actually just make videos on YouTube about cycling, like this guy,
0:30.8	Berm Peaks, his name Seth.
0:32.3	I think he makes a million dollars a year just making videos about the cycling.
0:34.9	You don't even have to win the championships.

0:47.8	person to make it happen.

1:17.6	He was in fact fired by both.
1:20.6	And he talks in today's episode about the energy that that gave him, maybe a little bit of unhealthy energy and how he transformed
1:31.3	that frustration, unhealthy energy into being able to start businesses like it's going out
1:38.2	of style. This is a process that he has mastered. And today, he is the founder and CEO of lots of different businesses,
1:47.1	several of which, I think all of which do over a million in revenue and one that does 80 million
1:52.8	in revenue. CEO of Apsumo, he's got a million subs on YouTube. And he's just a a dear sweet person who is incredibly good at getting
2:03.8	stuff going. He now has a new book out that we talk about in today's episode called Million
2:10.4	Dollar Weekend. And sounds like a big swing, right? But the irony and I guess the devil's in the details here because having read the book myself, it is a very powerful lever to do exactly that.
2:28.0	Now, the concept isn't to just make a million dollars in that weekend, although he predicts in our episode today that that is
