And then along comes an email. Global Speakers Academy. You've been what? It was like, I think you had to be selected. You had to be, like, admitted to the program. And I remember thinking, I want to do that. Like, I've got a great story, I think. And then I saw the bill, and it was like, eight grand all in plus travel. Or like, it was. You guys are expensive. Yeah. Yeah. And it was like, but you're going to be with the best coaches in the world, and you are going to learn how to put together a keynote. And these are the same coaches that coach the best. The best on the planet. And if you want to be around the best of the planet, this is what it costs, and this is how long you're going to be on. And I remember thinking, I'm either in or I'm not in. And if I've come this far, and what's another five or ten thousand bucks? I just paid off a half a million. I will figure it out. And a buddy of mine actually said the same thing. It's like, dude, you can't afford not to do this. This is you. You've just got to figure it out. I put it on my credit card, and then I just prayed to God every night and every morning that I would figure out the next step. So I was there to learn, and I was there to learn from you guys and apply everything you guys were teaching.
