Where do you think that inner drive was for you to be that person? To like, I don't want this, and I'm also gonna go get it.
I wouldn't have had it any other way. I think, you know, part of it was just I wanted. I wanted it so bad, like, I was gonna get it. There was no doubt in my ability. There was a lot of fear. It was. I was. Even now, like, I'm terrified, but I still do it anyway, you know? And that's what courage is, is. It's not not being afraid. It's just doing it, despite how afraid you are, trying to make money. Like, from seven years old, I was thinking of trying to think of business ideas and figure out how to start babysitting. And, you know, then I wanted a horse, and I couldn't afford a horse, so I was like, okay, let me learn how to train horses and charge people to ride their horses. So it was just the way my brain worked. And I don't think I would be here today if I didn't have that pursuit that I've been on.
