So I had a kid like 2 weeks ago call me up and he's in college. He says, Bridger, I want to be an entrepreneur. I want to make tons of money. I asked him this question, do you want to be a wantrepreneur or do you actually want to be an entrepreneur? The reality is most kids in college, myself included, for a long time I was a wantrepreneur. I liked talking business. I liked thinking and watching YouTube videos, but I didn't actually do any business. I heard this story of these billionaires that all went to school together. They didn't know it, but then 10 years later they're all billionaires. I was like, man, there's a lot of kids in my university There's a good chance a handful of them one day are going to be billionaires. I could be someone in school, nearby kids that are maybe already successful doing well would see me as someone who's a doer, a shaker, a mover. You know what? I'm going to actually do stuff. So my first years of college, I started 6 different businesses. It's good money for college. But what I did more importantly was I found Mason, my business partner, in college. Mason was also a mover and shaker and game recognizes game. Bam, we started Fun Launch, a multi-8-figure company. To this college kid, I said, hey, I don't care what you do, start moving on stuff.
