Stephen Gunnzenhouser, thank you so much for joining us for the Mike Linton experience.

I am so excited to have you here

and I'm so excited for our time together.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I think everybody should read it.

It was an absolute ride and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

As we talked about before we hit record, everybody has a story and our passion is to help them tell it.

So with your permission, we're going to start with where you were born all the way up to today. And then I want to talk about because your book is an autobiography. I want to talk about some of these unbelievably cool stories that are in this book and some of these amazing things that have happened to you in your life. You've lived an amazing life and I think it's something that we should celebrate.

I am thrilled that you would say that. It's the only life that I know, so I can't say, hey, it's so it's more

unusual than anyone else's life. But I have been fortunate enough to be humble enough to understand how much luck plays a role.

Oh yeah.

Whatever we do, and being in the right place at the right time and doing the right thing.

All of that is critical and important.

Here's the best thing about this, okay?

The best thing about this and the way you wrote it, okay, is there are a ton of life lessons in here.

And as you follow your story,

it has these twists and these turns, but here's the theme here I think anyway. My take from this is you just kept going forward. You kept putting one foot in front of the other and you just didn't quit. There were times in here that people wanted to slam the door in your face. There were times in here where it didn't come that easily, okay?
