Welcome back to the Casey Adams Show. Today I'm joined by not only one of my best friends, but someone who I have looked up to and someone that's a true brother to me, Roger Rojas. Thanks so much for coming on the show, brother.

Thank you for having me.

Of course, brother. So we're here in Vegas at the Blue Wire studio. I'm excited to dive into this conversation, man.

People have no idea what's about to happen, dude.

100%. I want to give people the context because, I mean, we've known each other now for almost five years. You are not only an incredible content creator, but somebody who's been a huge part of my journey. And the stories that we're going to share today, I'm excited about. But for people that may not know what you do and what being a creator, you know, a content creator means, I'd love for you to dive into that before we jump into some fun stories and just have a great conversation.

Right. So I was born and raised in Miami, Florida. Spent. Spent the first 18 years of my life there. And then I headed over to New York where I did my undergraduate degree, and then after that, spent an additional four years in New York. And then in the past two years, I've been in LA through that journey. From 2016 till today is where I made the decision to be. You know, at the beginning, I didn't even know what the title was. Photographer, videographer, content creator. Whereas now I call myself the creative director. And I've been so fortunate enough to work with people like yourself, and then also a lot of personalities and celebrities, a couple people.

I mean, you've worked with so many incredible people, and it's so cool to see. But I want to give you the context.

I think the first person I should start with is Dan Fleischman, who's also your first guest on the show and the person in which you introduced me to and what I call the butterfly effect of how my life completely changed from that time. March 2019. He's someone that's been vital in my life. And yeah, with everything that he's involved with and everything that he does, I don't know, the list is pretty crazy. Most people that you could think of like in context, Rick Ross, Steve Aoki, DJ Ski, Paris Hilton, a lot of incredible people. Patrick Mahomes.

Yep. Yeah, the list goes on and on. And if you follow Roger, you'll see follow him on Instagram. I'll make sure to link it down below. Just not only is your content incredible, but the people you shoot for and really the journey, how you've gotten there that I'm excited to dive into day is just super cool. But one thing I want to note is when I first started working with you, and I think it lives up to this day, is like, not only are you a phenomenal content creator, but the speed at which you create content. Let me give people a picture, an example. Let's say we're, you know, we're. You're filming a podcast for me and you're taking pictures. By the time I finished, let's say a 30 minute interview, I. I will have edited photos, a clip, edited a video that I can watch. And you're someone that has always had this level of excellence, in my opinion, that is just so clear. And I know that's lived through, you know, where you are today with the people you work with, and that's why they continue to love working with you. But I just wanted to, you know, kind of let people know that because it's incredible.

Yeah, I think as a content creator, we live in a world where after 48 hours, especially with the certain characters I deal with, is that it becomes irrelevant in their world because they have the next event, they have the next award show, they have the next thing they have to promote for their company that are invested into. They have personal things that they want to post for their own brand, their own self interest. And I realized that as a creator, it's not difficult to document. What becomes difficult is the storytelling. And I think that is the real key of not needing a camera. It's just the phone. So I kept telling myself, how am I different from every other content creator? And I knew that was one of my superpowers because I realized that if I'm able to turn around a video not in the same day, like even the last time I was in the studio, you're interviewing Dan and I gave you 10, 15 photos and three Instagram private, you know, Instagram stories that you could post. And so just like anything else, it just became hardwired in my brain of knowing if I do this time and time again, not only will I provide value for the people, they'll see kind of the type of work I can produce versus them getting it from their assistant or never seeing it. Yeah, that's another thing I never talk about. I think that's so important is I would, as I would shoot, I would have it on my phone, I would approach them. So one, create the conversation. Two, show my work and then three, show the delivery. Delivery time. And then the fourth part, which is the most important part, either I airdrop it or text it to them.

Yep. And they have it.

And I always say that the contact is most important thing Dan refers to this is that your relationships is your fast forward one to life. And so the relations I've been able to cultivate have been through my vessel of my camera of knowing that the rooms that I'm in, I shouldn't be in, but due to my skill set and what and how in which I deliver is the value that I bring to that room.

I love that. And I'd love to ask you, when it comes to finding that vessel, you know, for me it was podcasting that was my vessel to build great relationships. When did you realize that creating content and you know, having that skill set is something that not only you want to pursue, it's something you're great at.

Took me a long time. I graduated in May of 2016 and at the time period Instagram was not being used for business. It was still videos were only maximum 15 seconds.

Yep.

@ the time it was thriving with short term vine 7 second videos. And my journey to knowing that this was my path was me constantly just showing up and shooting over and over and over and over. You don't know this, but between May of 2016 to August, there was one person that gave me the opportunity to do what I do and it was Frank d'. Agostino. Our mutual contact is one of my best friends and brother. He had a fitness facility that he co founded with other two individuals and he gave me that opportunity. I. I had no portfolio. I was charging $30 a month. Wow. For 10 photo shoots and 10 videos. Wow. I'm gonna say that again. $30 a month for 10 videos and 10 photo shoots. Any other creator listening is thinking, why would you do that?

Yeah.

What is the Value in that I had no portfolio. I had no work that I could show people. I just had a camera that I recently had in my hand. And the one thing that it taught me was to show up and put in hours and put in the reps, create the interactions, name it, and I've shot it. Hey, have you shot a baptism before? In the back of my head. No, to them, yes. Hey, can you shoot this private venue thing we have going on? Have you done that before? Yes. Never done it before. Hey, can you shoot this basketball camp ad that we're gonna launch? Sure. Have you done that? No, but I will. And I just did that over and over and over and over and over. And ultimately, where it created those relationships where I was able to be there for certain people, someone like yourself, which is where we met in New York, where, when I worked with you, it made sense to you. Because I was prepared for the moment.

Absolutely.

And I think that's something so important that creators need to understand, is that when you're starting, it's normal not to know. It's normal to be nervous. The most important thing that you have to remember is that you're showing up. And it's what you do when you show up. Absolutely. And then how do you differentiate yourself of not only being there, but creating value for the room and not taking. And as a creator, we have front skip to the line. Everyone wants photos today.

Yeah.

Everyone wants to show their audience, their community, what they're doing, how they're doing it through video, video and photos. And so I just picked up on this is the Future, even though, and I will say this, and I love my family and I adore them, they weren't a fan of what I was doing. So the people closest to me kind of gave me that backlash, but it was a backlash of love for their not understanding of the future. The future which I was fortunate enough through Frankie, he kept pushing me and putting me in the right places. Say, you're really good at this. He used to tell me. I still remember my videos were so bad. And he used to always tell me, no matter what, you're so great at this. You're so great.

Shout out to Frankie.

And he used to always. Even his family settings, you know, I became so close to his family and what he was doing. I don't think he realized it is that he just, you know, they say the 10,000 hours.

Yeah.

Through him, I think I put in 20,000. Because everything we did, he said, video, photo, video, photo, document, document, document, document, document, document. Tell People. You do tell people how you could help them. Just film, just do photos. And through that over and over the amount of years, you know, I'm doing it for six, the first three. I could genuinely say I didn't know what I was doing. But the thing that I was, I was showing up and I, I knew the rooms I was in were the right ones because there were people I wanted to work with or there were interests of mine like basketball camps or football camps or you know, award shows. Things that I found interesting.

Yeah.

So I never knew that this pass was meant for me. It was just through the trials of shooting so many things that I was like, oh, that's not meant for me. You know. One thing I never talked about was while I was in university my junior year at one point I had four jobs.

Wow.

Being a full time student. Being a full time student.

4 jobs.

What? How do you have that much Tuesday and Thursdays. Okay. Worked at Patsy's Pizzeria.

Okay.

As a waiter for lunch.

Yep.

And the reason I was able to get Tuesdays and Thursdays because I had 6:30 class. That meant I could show up at 9:00am, leave by 3 and walk into my 6. Monday, Wednesday, Friday I was a babysitter. Monday, Wednesday, Friday was from 3 to 5. And then admissions had something between the hours of 6 and 8 where they would help you pay you hourly. Bilingual background. I would contact prospective students to. While they were going through the admissions process that were interested in. Hey, is there any questions? I'm a current student. I'm bilingual myself. I mean, you know, I. My family's international. Cuban, Colombian. I'm also from Miami, so I'm not used to being from the tri state area.

Yeah.

Is there things that interest you? So I did all those things while during my senior year and into my junior year I was president of the management club. I was a part of a fraternity.

Yeah.

I was a part of the women's back basketball practice squad.

No way.

Yeah. Everything that I did through throughout my university was always trial and error. Like I didn't know what I was into and that's normal. And I think not knowing is a great thing.

Yep.

Because it piques your interest into the next thing.

Absolutely. And I do want to talk about. It's like talking about putting yourself in those positions. I remember the first time we met was when we I DM'd Gary Vee and this was 2017. He was just coming out with this case with sneaker. I end up getting the sneakers and I DM him like hey, what does it take to get five minutes of your time in New York? He's, hey, like, done. Email Tyler. Then I go to New York. I have no plan. I'm like, that's when I do 60 interviews in 90 days for my podcast so I can have something to talk about with him. And then that's the first day we met. We shot this cool moment. And then from there, I'd love to talk about not only how you met Dan Fleischman, but some of our interactions over the years that have created not only opportunities for you, but what you like to call the butterfly effect and how that's created such a different path in your life. Because I know other people are going to love this story, so let's dive into it.

So I've never publicly said this story, so I'm going to let this one out. So Frankie and I had a podcast, and Elena Cardone. Her and I were friends on Instagram. I told Elena, hey, Elena, on Tuesday, this coming week, I'm available from 11 to 1 in Miami. I would love to have you on our podcast.

I remember this, too.

She says, yeah, she says. She says, between those hours, hey, I'm available at 12:30. You can come on down. We can shoot at the studio. You don't need to bring your camera crew, anything. I did not have a camera crew, so I said, amazing. So she made it easier. Number one, I was not in Miami. Number two, I chose Tuesday because the cheapest day to fly from New York to Miami. I called Frankie, I said, hey, we need to go to Miami. Three days. We have Elena Cardone on the podcast. We shoot Elena Cardone on the podcast. It was amazing. We get off of that. I get a text from you, hey, brother, I see you're in Miami. I'm speaking at Event Tampa. I would love to have you there. My first instinct was no, because at the time, Frankie and I were business partners in a barbershop we had just opened less than a month ago across the street from my university. And my compelling feeling was, I need to be there.

Yep.

I told Frankie how I found. He said no. He's like, every time that you've interacted with Casey, it's always been great. I was like, how about you look into it? He looks up the list of people there, and he's like, there's a lot of people there that you should meet. And this goes back to the story of putting yourself in position to win. I didn't know any of those people. Our relationship was still being cultivated. Y. But I was putting myself in a position to win by putting myself in the room, by showing up.

Absolutely.

He then says, hey, let's drive over to Tampa Synergy. We didn't have a hotel. I don't know if you remember this part. While you're checking in, they put you in a double king bed. And then the guy that was supposed to be there got his own room. And then we had a bed.

Yes.

We were planning to sleep on the floor.

Oh, my. Yes, I do remember.

Fast forward to the next day. It's myself, you and Dan to your right. Never interacted. Dan never said anything to him. You then look at me, slide me a note saying, video, no edit paid. Dan wrote, yep, nod my head. I said, okay. This next part, I don't think, you know, at the time, I only had a road mic. And for those content creators, that's an audio device that's attached to the camera but not on the actual speaker, so the audio quality would be bad. He asked me if I have a lav mic. I said, yes. I did not have a lot of mic. I walked to the back of the room. I saw this content creator who had a lav mic on his camera. I introduced myself, said, hey, brother, you're not going to believe this. My client's about to go on stage. My lav mic broke. Can I use yours for 30 minutes and I'll bring it right back to you? He says, of course, I did not know this story. Next part, true as it gets. I don't know how to use a lav mic. I've never touched that thing in my life. I then say to him, where's the power button? Joking around. How do you turn this thing on? He's laughing at me, and I figure out where it is. I was like, yeah. And then I started joking with him. Yeah, if I put this on this, and then it'll sound good. You want to put it up here, right? And then you put that in the back pocket, going along with it as he tells me, yeah, on the spot. Five minutes before, Dan goes on. So I said, if I just put this on the speaker and it runs. I was like, I'm just joking with you. I put the mic on Dan. Dan goes on. I then tell myself, how do I make an impression? How do I do something that's not normal to what's going. You know, what he's used to? He didn't ask me to edit. I take that video footage. I go upstairs to my room. Within an hour, I have a video edited. I then Ask you can you put us in a group chat? You say of course. You see the video, I remember we're in the room, you see a video, you're like, oh, he's gonna love this 100.

I remember this.

And then not only not even the form of payment, just the actual interaction. Far seated expectations or thoughts that I never thought. Right.

Yep.

In less than 48 hours after that, he puts me in touch with who then was top music executive in the music industry. Which led to not only shooting behind the scenes of his online course, shooting the 2019 VMAs, and let me say, not just shooting the VMAs, he got me full access to walk the carpet and meet every major artist that you can think of. Yep. Then spending time getting to know his family, what he has going on, having access to him to then be in the Hamptons in the summer.

Yep.

And Dan ends up introducing me between the months of March till November, till his first big event to most of his friends that would show up into New York that needed content. Everyone from Cindy Eckert who have gone to fond and love. She, you know, started the female of Agra, sold it for $1 billion. Multiple relationships that the butterfly effect of that I cannot explain aside from ours in that moment after that event, Casey then asked me, what are you doing next? I said, nothing. I did have something to do, but I just knew based off what was going on, it was going to be something fun.

Yeah.

He asked me to fly to Arizona for an interview. The interview's over. He goes, what are you doing tomorrow? Nothing. He said, someone just responded to me. I'm going to be on my podcast. He's in la. Can you come and film? That said, of course. And this is the best part. He's looking at flights on JetBlue. Everything's 3, 400. He posted a story. Hey, I'm trying to get to la. Can anyone help me out? Do you guys have anything? And a friend of yours has an application where Jet Smarter Jets. Right. And I don't remember the exact situation, but ultimately either he's had credit or he's flown so much but we had.

The membership and it turned out where the jet was a dollar. And I'll let you continue on, but this is such a rare occasion where.

We were able to fly from Arizona to LA for a dollar on a private jet. Yep. And then we continued our interaction from that same event in Tampa. I met someone by the name of Nick Santo.

Shout out to Nick. We gotta love him.

Yeah. And then he asked me to fly from LA to St Louis to shoot Ed Miles.

This is all in one trip. Just for the people that are forgetting, this was like you guys went to Miami to interview Atlanta cardone per day for one day. And this happened. Correct. Putting yourself in the right position and by just not having a mindset of like, oh, I can't be there the.

Whole, the whole time for the consecrator listening is, this is impossible. This is. Doesn't happen often. This isn't me. That's not reality. For three years I felt like that. And I just kept doing what I could do best with what was around me.

Yep.

And not to say it wasn't enough, but the idea was, like everything else in life, you should strive for more. And I told you right before the podcast started, when Dan, you had your builder Empire Event 2019 and you interviewed Dan y, he referred to his travel schedule in that same week of him traveling to four major cities in the next four days. And I remember sitting there and thinking to myself, what a dream. I wish that could be me, you know? And even though I never thought I would interact with him or the things that would happen after that, the biggest thing that I told myself is that there's power in proximity. I'm in the room, I'm listening to him, I'm watching him, I'm learning with the people that are all together that are doing the same thing. When did.

I mean, just. Just hearing that story too, like, gives me such an incredible feeling, just knowing that, like in the time we didn't know what was happening, what it would lead to. And that's with everything, right? For this moment, for whatever. So to see it come full circle. I know that obviously you've been living in LA for how long now? I'd love to.

June 22nd will be officially two years.

Wow, June 22nd. Now, let's talk about that transition because I know I met you, you were living in New York, you're obviously in Miami. That transition to la, working with Dan full time. Now I feel like nowadays I live in LA as well, and we can't even ever hang out because you're on 18 flights a week. And it's like now knowing how like that story and how that thought ran through your head of like, wow, four cities in one week. I mean, this, that, not only that lifestyle, but you've created a life for yourself with so much, not only activities and events by working with Dan, but.

I mean, you're living blessed, amazing people around me.

Yes, that's what I think the Best people to me. Yeah. So let's talk about the transition.

Yeah, yeah. So between March and I refer to November 2018, he has a private mastermind group that he's launching known as the 100 MME group.

Yep.

It's 100 people pay $100,000 to attend. I was unaware of that. He sends me a text, hey, are you available this weekend to come to L. A to shoot an event I'm doing. Said of course, puts me in contact with someone again, the biggest thing. Also I would say to the creator, listening, when you're engaging with someone who you want to do business with creators much reduce the friction in the transaction to get to what they need. These are contacting you for a reason. I didn't ask where am I staying? I didn't ask, how much should I get paid? I didn't ask. I said, yes, I'll be there. Like, let me know who I should email for the information for the flights. That's it. Swear to God, that's it. I didn't. When I landed, I didn't even know what hotel I was going to. I had to contact the assistant.

Oh, my gosh.

And now again, you want to be prepared for things like that as you grow. But the idea was he was someone that I really wanted to work with and I wanted to. I didn't want the confusion of the back and forth. He asked me to come to LA. Little did I know that that event would involve first day private mansion with a hundred of the biggest CEOs I admired and looked up to through social media were in that room in attendance. He flew in Mark Wahlberg from London in the middle of a movie to do a private interview.

This was the first event, Correct?

Wow.

Yeah.

Saturday, he goes to what was known as the Ignite, Dan Bilzerian's mansion in Bel Air. He rented that out. Endless speakers, Jordan Belfort, many people that you've had on the podcast where they're speaking, who I was in awe of. We then go upstairs to the his charity poker tournament where Nick Cannon is dj, Chris Tucker is the host, and Tyga comes to perform. Third day, he wrenches out the Porsche experience. We're able to play basketball in the back with Dennis Rodman, the Professor, multiple NBA players, and if you're not doing that, you ride in private Porsches with professional drivers around the racetrack. Then you come inside and the first person we heard from was Magic Johnson.

Oh, my goodness.

Then we heard a women's panel that involved Kris Jenner. And in all that, I kept thinking to myself, why am I here? How did I get the right to be in this room questioning my worth the whole weekend? Wow. There was one point at the end of the weekend, Dan was at the the tea stand by himself in this between March and November. Had never said a word to him face to face, ever way, ever. We had never jumped on the phone. It was always text, but very brief. Yep. I then knew out of gratitude I need to approach him and thank him for everything that's happened. I go up to him and I said, Dan, thank you so much for this amazing weekend. I feel so grateful to be not only in your presence, but everyone that's been here and learning from all these people. I, I, I again, I just, I kept showing him the admiration that I had to be there. He then looks at me and he says, you don't know this yet, but you're moving to la.

You're kidding.

Takes a sip of the tea and walks away. I thought the guy was crazy. I was loving New York.

Yeah.

I was thriving with what I was doing for work socially. I was like, why would I leave? Four months later, pandemic hits. I go down to Miami, I readjust my business. I'm doing a ton of online stuff. Sends me another text here. Have you thought about it? Wow.

He was serious.

But, and I should say it wasn't heavy. Thought about it. He, he communicates with me through GIFs and emojis. It was like a plane. Jeff, San Diego, you should come. He explains what he's doing. At the time, I didn't feel comfortable because of the pandemic. Didn't know how it was long and it last. And I was staying with my best friend in Miami and I told him the whole thing of the opportunity, of what I was doing. And he looks at me and says, your whole life you've taken a chance. At 18 years old, you went to New York not knowing anyone. When you graduated college, you bet on yourself to be a creative for a gym that no one knew about. You've trusted your best friend. You've taken these endless risks and the one time, the biggest opportunity that's right in your face, you're not going to take it.

What a good friend.

And I looked at him, I said, you're right. Went to New York, packed my 250 pound bags, found an Airbnb, moved into a Hollywood studio in under a week.

Just like that.

Yeah. Now it's been two years. Endless cities, endless shoots, endless events.

That is so cool to hear.

Shooting not only him, but getting the Opportunity to learn from him, to listen to him. The thing I never talk about publicly is how lucky I feel to be not only with him, just to watch him. And I admire him in so many ways, of how he communicates, of how much he serves, genuinely serves people in every facet of everything we do. Yep. And everyone he interacts with. And the biggest thing on the business side, he's building and he's building things. He's creating jobs and creating impact. I didn't understand what that word meant until I met him.

I'd love to hear that. I want to ask you, you know, I've had Dan in the podcast many times now, and you have this unique relationship and experience to be so hands on with not only Dan, but so many incredible people. But with Dan specifically, I'd love to ask you, you know, what are some of the biggest lessons you've learned from working with Dan and how have you taken these lessons and, you know, transitioned.

In your own life? Number one, never expect anything from anyone. That shouldn't alter your decision to be a good person.

If.

If it's the right thing, do the right thing. I've learned that thick and through with him. Situations that I personally would have gone the other way. He re advises me and said, no, you were going to do that, you should do that. Second thing is sticking to your word. He just makes sure it happens. I could tell you endless stories of things that I thought weren't going to happen. And he literally looked at us or the team or, you know, the certain setting of what was going on. He goes, no, we need to get this done. He's like, we have X amount of time. The doors are opening, X amount people are showing up. We need to get it done. The third thing was, where I am right now in my life, in my stage, is that you shouldn't just think of yourself and what you do. You should think about how you could serve others. And I go back to that with this charity. Not only is charity genuinely with everything he does, every time I see him interact with someone, he serves them to a certain capacity, puts him in a group text. I'm sure you've been in a group text with Dan.

Absolutely.

He's put you in a group text. He sent you something from Instagram that so needed and he knew that you were the answer.

Yep.

So he gives you an opportunity. Again, he's not doing anything, but he's not calling you. He's just giving you an opportunity to serve someone, giving you an opportunity to better yourself, growing your network. Yep.

Always.

And that, for me, as a human, reminds me that no matter how much money you make, you know, we see as the youngest person ever to take a company public. Yep. He's had, I'm sure, a couple exits that a lot of money that I can't even fathom. But you wouldn't know that with how he treats people, with how he talks to people, ultimately, how he lives his life. Like, he doesn't own a car. That's the reason I don't own a car. You want to talk about, you know, having impact? Yeah, he doesn't own a car. And I was like, why should I own a car? Yeah. He's like, you know, you need to answer emails, you need to talk to me. We should text. You know, you should be doing that. Right.

Instead of driving.

Instead of driving.

Especially in la.

Especially in la. And that, for me, is what the constant reminder of. It's not that it's never enough, but you could always serve more people and have more impact. I used to. That word is so cliche. 6. I'm 28. I feel like I'm just getting started. And that word of impact and legacy, I'm like, I don't understand because I'm still going through it, watching him do it. When you're able to say, even our interaction, your interaction with him changed my life in ways that I couldn't even tell you.

Yeah.

If you would have told me in 2016 when I graduated from my university, hey, not only would you see the world, you would do it by doing something that you love with people that are genuinely changing people's lives. Everyone that he interacts with in his circle is creating impact in people's lives every day through education, through their social media that I'm so thankful and fortunate to create for them or their daily interaction.

Yep. I mean, you.

You've.

You really hit it on the nail, like, not only what you've learned, but how you've created this life that you love so much. And I want to sort of wrap up on this. You know, I've known you for, as I said at the beginning, almost five years now, and to see not only what you've done, but the growth in many aspects of life. First off, I love you as a brother, but if you were to give yourself advice, you know, graduating college today, I know a lot of people are right now and they're trying to figure out what they want to do. And there's, you know, the economy with COVID Things have changed so much, you know, since you graduated. However many years ago. So what advice would you give to your 18, 19 year old self or, you know, the individual that graduated college that had that dream and ambition and why?

I love this question because it's actually something I think about all the time for myself on not the thought of what I would change, but more so who would be the person I would want on my left shoulder whispering to me stuff like what would I want those words to be? And for me, I always think about it's okay not to know what you want, but it's not okay not to do anything about it. What I did, I referred to throughout my university. I always tried things.

Yep.

I tried being a waiter. I tried working at admissions. I tried being a part of the women's basketball squad. I tried being a babysitter. I tried being an accountant. I worked at All Saints. I worked at Hollister, I worked at a car dealership. I tried things. And through trial, I realized I don't want to do that. So that eliminated a thought in my head of what if? And then it narrowed my path towards what I do today. The second part is. So the first part is trying. The second part is who you do it with. You can't walk the path alongside someone that's pulling you back. It's only going to make it harder. You want that visionary, you want that friend for me was Frankie. You want that friend that tells you not only are you great at what you do, you're gonna become amazing. You're gonna be greater than your biggest thoughts. They're telling you things to not only put you in a position to win, but to your self worth. Because we all fight that. We all fight that we're not worthy enough. We all fight that, you know, what we do is not enough. I go through that not as much as I used to, but the idea that what I'm doing and what I'm trying to create, it's not enough. And I would say the third part is bet on yourself all day. Bet on yourself all day. You can't control the things around you. Can only control what you say, what you do and how you do it. Yep. And for me, that's what I've done. And that's why I believe I've been so fortunate. Blessed enough to be in the rooms that I've been in, shoot the shows that I've shot, been around the people that I've worked with and had the interactions I've interacted with. Yep.

I love that, brother. Very, very well said. Well, for everyone that hasn't already followed you yet or is just now hearing your story. I'd love to ask you where's the best place for everyone to follow your story, to see the content and just stay and stay in touch with you.

Yeah. One thing I want to say before the podcast and something that I've always wanted to tell you and I waited for this moment. Wow.

Wow.

Is that you are special what you do not because you inspire people. It's because you genuinely want to change and not create change in what you do, but the people interact with. And you did that with me.

Thank you.

With allowing me to film me for Gary Vee having the chance of you creating that event in Arizona which led to ultimately changing my life. You know, like, you have to know that. That you are a part of that because I would have never been in that room to have the opportunity if you didn't reach out to me. So I think that's something that you do through the podcast. I don't know if you ever think about is that creating that opportunity for someone to do something and to fulfill what they needed to do. And you did that with me.

Thank you, brother.

That means the world.
