What is up everybody? Welcome to another edition of AMA Live. I'm your host, Tom Bill You,

and today's episode is brought to you by the F-patient shirt, which is my favorite shirt,

because I am absolutely obsessed with going after what I want, of not waiting, not being in a

passive stance. And while I totally get why people tell other people

to be patient, I'm here to tell you right now, whatever you're trying to do, always play the long

where when i went to college, I completely reinvented myself.

Growing up, I was the funny guy.

That was my whole identity.

And the way that I knew how to be funny was to make fun of myself.

And so subtly in some ways, that really did begin to seep into my subconscious.

And I didn't, obviously, at the time, have a growth mindset. And I didn't know that I could get better. And so I very much wanted to make fun of myself before somebody else could do it, that if I took those weapons away from people, then they couldn't use it to make fun of me. But that was really solidifying my identity at a lower level than what it could have been. And so when I went to
