I had no money. I didn't have a van. All I had was a clip on trail on the back of my bike. And how would you try and drum up business? I had little flyers that I'd give out outside Richmond Station. I was there like day and day out giving out flies hoping that someone would sort of take one. Don't try and transform your life in one day and revolutionise everything because you'll end up falling off the wagon and you lose motivation. Whether you're two years old or 72 years old, you always feel better after workout. And it doesn't solve solve all the problems in your world but it's at least knowing that on those days

yourself. But I'll tell you what I'm going

1:29.5

to do, Joe. First of all, I'm going to blow smoke up your ass because... You don't need to do

that. I am absolutely going to do it. You literally are changing the world. I mean, you, I see your soul, Joe. I honestly do. And you have done so much for
