1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,040
This is one of my favorite stories.

2
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:03,280
So, you know, I mentioned earlier,

3
00:00:03,280 --> 00:00:06,240
I ran a marketing consulting firm for about 10 years.

4
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:09,400
And my second ever client,

5
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:10,960
I should have never landed at this client.

6
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:13,980
I honestly had no idea what I was doing in the beginning

7
00:00:13,980 --> 00:00:15,720
from a marketing perspective.

8
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:19,000
You mean you actually were a marketer?

9
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:20,280
Yeah, I was.

10
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,680
That sounds like most marketing guys and girls,

11
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:24,640
nevermind, keep going.

12
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,120
Listen, it was a hard road.

13
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,640
It was some hard lessons.

14
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:32,200
But that second client that ever landed

15
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,080
ended up being my best client.

16
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:35,600
Stuck with me till the bitter end.

17
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,640
And the client actually opted out

18
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,200
of when I exited my agency.

19
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,240
They were like, hey, I don't wanna be sold.

20
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,520
You know, we had a great time, great relationship.

21
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:46,800
And I remember being so upset.

22
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,120
I was like, dude, I went to the bathroom.

23
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:50,440
We had some hard parts.

24
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,240
We had some great, you know, relational time outside of.

25
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:54,600
And so I were being really frustrated.

26
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:56,440
And you know, some time went by, a few months went by.

27
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,160
And I was kind of sitting around wondering

28
00:00:58,160 --> 00:00:59,160
what's my next move.
