If you wanna succeed in life, you have to figure out not what do you want out of life, but what are you willing to sacrifice to get what you want, right? And so typically I work backwards and I go, what is the thing that I want so badly that I'm willing to sacrifice just about everything else to get? And then what are the 3 to 5 activities that will most drive my likelihood of success? And if one of those things is direct-to-camera content, then fuck it, I'm doing it. Mm. And I think my pain tolerance is very high because I was in investment banking and finance for a long time.
