When did you take action towards realizing the dream? Could have been a very small thing, I don't know, but like what was the kind of defining first step that kind of set you on the actual path to realizing what you laid out? I took action pretty immediately, but it took me a year to quit my job. And I'll define what the difference is. I took action immediately by This might be crazy. This was a Tim Ferriss experiment. I really resonated with what you wrote about coming to terms with the worst possible outcome. Mhm. And so I decided, I'm going to train myself for the worst possible outcome. — it. So I moved into a studio apartment with a roommate. I cut like financially stripped down I mean, I didn't have much anyways, but stripped as much as I could to simulate if I'm truly failing at this and having to live in a Hollywood apartment with a bunch of roommates, I'm just going to get used to that. I'm it right now. I'm going to cancel all of my memberships and figure out how to stay healthy with just myself in this small place. I am also going to commit to working on my own stories after work on the weekends because if I can't do it now with stability, I need to prove to myself that I actually give a about this really. And I did that for an entire year. Growing a little bit of a personal savings, but also growing mental and physical stamina towards I'm already in still a place of safety, of course, but I am in a situation where I think I can handle this. I got this. Like LinkedIn is up to date. Little resume I am so ready. I have defined, prevent, and hopefully we don't got to go to that third column repair. And so then a year later exactly, I quit my job. And when I quit, I had two months of videos backlogged ready to go. Also legally for the record on my own machine. Not company resources. All of that was ready to go. And I knew what my first big project would be, training with the stunt doubles. I had a shoot date ready. I had taken you know, I only had like three months of savings at that point. And I had allocated this is going to be for the dream project. My first risk on my channel. Nothing will touch that. The rest is for operating daily life expenses. And I said, I got three months to make this work. And like you said, you know, like we've been talking about, sometimes you got to put your back against the wall and go. I love this. So — So this is I feel like we were separated at birth. So — So a few things. I'll say number one to try to I mean, not that I have I'm not a paragon of self-awareness, but I will say that I for different reasons have a certain like hyper-vigilance focus on safety and security, which might sound strange to people listening, but I'm always trying to risk mitigate, right? I'm actually I don't view myself as a big risk-taker. I have done a few things that have ended up with — me accumulating injuries that maybe in retrospect shouldn't have done. But broadly speaking, I'm always trying to mitigate risk, which is underscores this entire fear-setting exercise, right? Cuz it's not just about convincing yourself, it's also in my mind completely intertwined with what you did, which is preparing and training yourself and your circumstances, right? So when I flash back to starting my first company, it's like, how did I start the first company? I started my first company during lunch hours, evenings, and weekends basically while still doing my other job and well. Mhm. But I wanted to have a head start so that I wasn't beginning from scratch after quitting a job.
