Why don't you start with kind of the background? Where did you come from? How did you get started? What's the background?
Sure. So, sort of where I am now is this weird place that makes sense, but it wasn't linear, right? So, always been entrepreneurial, always been starting businesses and building them and selling them, etc. Always non-tangible stuff. It's always more ideas and whatever. And just as a result of being sort of a time-starved, cash-starved entrepreneur that started his first business at 22, always just loved content. So maybe that's the nerd factor. So I didn't have money to throw at consultants, so it was cheaper to buy a book and learn something or pull down a magazine or whatever. And then probably about 12-plus years ago, those 2 worlds sort of connected. I did a turnaround for a presentation skills company that was global. And said, wow, there's sort of this content business, and how do you fix that? And then from there, I went and had a fantastic time working with Keith Ferrazzi for about 3 years when we launched Never Eat Alone and built his training business, speaking business, et cetera. And then been on my own for years now, working with a wide variety of authors and bloggers. Thank you.
