One thing that I learned from an early age is I got around people that had what I wanted, right? And you know, biblically, scripture says people will know us by our fruit. And even in the business world, even if it's people that are, you know, maybe they're not even self professed Christians, which early on that was what I was looking at. It was, hey, they had what I wanted, man. And I was like, how do I get around them? How do I even get in the same room as them? And sometimes I had to pay significant amounts of money to be in those rooms. Sometimes I served my way to get into those rooms. But I just wanted to glean from them and just understand, like what are the, what are they even talking about? What are these, what subjects do they even talk about in these rooms? Those are just some of the most impactful times in my life.
