at the conference, right?

Volunteering was my conference or volunteering was my hustle to just get in the room.

And I remember volunteering that conference.

I meet this guy and we have a couple interactions, and then I see he goes

on this snowboarding trip every year. And I'm like, hey, I would love to go on this snowboarding

trip. So eventually, he's like, yeah, come on this snowboarding trip. And then we're on the way

to this other mastermind, and where he's talking to him, I think it's Ryan Leveck at the time. And he says to Ryan, he says,

hey, I tell people all the time, don't even come on this snowboarding trip unless you're

willing to jump 10 feet off a cliff into powder. And I'm sitting in the side seat already committed

to this snowboarding trip thinking, he didn't tell me that. But I'm like, all'm going to go anyway and we i've been going to that

trip gosh for probably seven eight years now and he's just become a dear friend he's one of the

most intense inspiring people i've ever met his name's dan martel if you see that red mug

that i'm always carrying around it's from a snowboarding trip. We're going every year.

If you haven't met Dan, he's the founder of SAS Academy, the creator of the Mortel Method.

He's the author of a book called Buy Back Your Time.
