your why? What's pushing you forward? Freedom. In my 20s, when I had that service business,
I was working like 60, 70 hours a week and it was around age 29, age 30. After that merger happened,
I'm like, I cannot do this anymore. I have to work smarter, not harder. So my driver is financial
freedom. Fortunately, it was a year ago. I'm just over 40 now. I'm 41 and it was at age 40. I was
able to go full time with Ticker. I bootstrapped it for three years. So kept the day job. Since
that merger, I'll keep this quick, I did a lot of corporate contract and project management for a
lot of big companies and that was great experience. But I'm like, I don't want to work in big business.
I don't want to work in corporate America. I want to create my own schedule. So I get to wake up and
do whatever I want every day. I love serving my customers. I love building Ticker. During the
summer, I take Fridays off. I do not work Fridays. I actually play golf or I should phrase that. I
try to play golf, but my wife and I, we enjoy work life balance to the nth degree. Life is about
living, not working. So that's, that's my wife.
