| 0:00.0 | I've always been traveling, |
| 0:01.0 | except for during COVID, 200 cities a year. And I don't like to be bored. I like to think of things to do. My grandma always said, you know, only stupid people get bored because smart people think of things to do. So there was this period of time, because I wake up early, that was dead time for me. I finished my workout, I'm in meditation, and nobody really wanted to meet me at 7 a.m. |
