Our 2021. I'm in the middle of building this business, guys. I'm throwing content out there as Gary Vee tells me to do. And I have to be honest, there were times I'm like, what am I doing this for? Is anybody listening? Is anybody watching? Does anybody care? I made it all about me. Then I got a text message in August of 2021 that changed everything. It was a peer of mine in the industry who I hadn't seen in a few years. He said, hey, man, can we jump on a call? So sure. So a couple days later, we jump on Zoom. Now I think we're just jumping on to catch up. But I would soon learn it was much more than that. He said, hey, man, I wanted to get on Zoom because I wanted to thank you. He said, hey, man, I've had a pretty rough two year patch. He said, hey, man.
I reached a point this year where I thought about ending it all. He said, I wanted to get on Zoom to thank you because your content kept me going. I just want to thank you for keeping me here.
