00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,320
What was your starting path? How did you get started? I was actually at a job that I hated.

2
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:12,480
I made a lot of money. I thought that was going to make me super happy. It didn't. It made my bank

3
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:18,560
account happy, but I was still very unfulfilled and low self-belief, low self-worth, all that stuff.

4
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:25,760
I was actually interviewed on a YouTube channel about fitness and mindset and discipline.

5
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:29,760
When we got to the end of that interview, I said to one of my friends who was there, I said,

6
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:36,160
Imagine if you could do that for a living. Imagine if you could help people for a living.

7
00:00:36,160 --> 00:00:40,800
He said, Well, there's people out there that do that. That year, it was 2017,

8
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:46,720
I started a podcast called the Hyper-Conscious Podcast. Hyper-Conscious means acutely aware.

9
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,600
My ultimate goal was to help people understand that when you change the way you think,

10
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,760
you change the way you act, and then you can ultimately change the way you live.

11
00:00:55,760 --> 00:01:00,640
It started with me being interviewed, saying, Imagine what it would be like if you could do

12
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:07,120
that for a living, starting very messily and trying to figure it out, and then really starting to see

13
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:13,920
the benefits of having conversations like that for me first. Long before we ever had any resemblance

14
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:19,840
of an audience, the conversations I was having was helping me with my self-awareness. Then

15
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:24,320
ultimately, I was able to help other people with that. It started with a chance encounter

16
00:01:24,320 --> 00:01:50,480
on a YouTube channel, and it inspired me to do my own thing.
