In most areas of life You shouldn't be hoping for like the miraculous save, right? The one thing that's just gonna turn your business around or the the person who's gonna meet you and just give you that opportunity, just hand it to you. But there is an exception. I feel like I can rule the world, I know I can be what I want to I put my law in it like my day song on the road

All right, Sean, I wanna make you feel good. I wanna Make the world feel good. I saw an inspirational story this weekend and I want to share it with you. And it's gonna involve a little some some audio and it involves pop culture. Which you don't know anything about. So I I think that some of our listeners might know about the story, but I think it'll be particularly cool for you. All right. So there's this singer, songwriter, guy I love. His name's Noah Khan. Have you heard of Noah Khan? Noah Khan.

I can't say I have. He describes himself as the Jewish Ed Sheeran. So he's like a good songwriter, he's a great singer. He's got but he's got a little ful in his in his sound. Almost like Mumford and Sons meets

Ed Sheeran, but Based out of Vermont. Like do you know anything about like do you do you know anything about like New England like folk music? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm into that kind of music, actually. So He uh graduated high school and decided not to go to college and was able to get a small record deal. The record deal. It was only okay. That sounds like a big deal. But it's like you just kinda barely get by and they're almost like buying an option on you that you're gonna be like a a big deal.

He has a couple songs that are kind of hits. I think one time he got to go on the Steven Colbert show and play one of his songs. I mean, that's a that's pretty awesome, but if that's all you're known for is doing it one time, you're still kind of like, Oh shit, like I gotta go get a job. I'm not sure if this is gonna work. So the pandemic hits. He's living in LA at the time, trying to make it big, but he's like shit, what am I gonna do? I I uh I guess I'll just go back home to Vermont where my parents live and I have a little bit more space. And he kinda like gets depressed where he's like eating bad food and smoking weed all day. And he's like, What the hell do I am I gonna do with my career? I can't go out and play. Like I'm a nobody right now. What am I gonna do? So he's like, Well TikTok I guess seems kind of neat.

Let's try that. And so he starts posting some of his songs on TikTok and a few of them do okay. I think he gets like fifty thousand followers or something like that. Uh so again, it's like a a mediocre success. But then one night he

comes up, it took him twenty minutes and he writes a verse to a song and the song is called Stick Season. And he plays this one verse. On TikTok. Because I'll see you when it brings.

And doc told me to travel, but there's COVID on the plane, so I'm fucked. Um fuck not suck You shock. Nice shows.

Fu Alright. So this is just a twenty second video that he posts on

Tic T. It's good, but He posts it and like two or three hours later, like no one replies. He's like, This sucks. I'm just gonna delete this thing, but let me finish kind of getting high because he was said he was eating edible when he posted this. He's like, Let me finish getting high. Ends up passing out and sleeps through the night. And he wakes up and this video gets like two hundred thousand likes and like a hundred thousand comments. And he's like

Shit. I better Finish the song and actually complete this song, because it sounds like people like this verse. Now he plays the rest of the song, and you could actually see the full song that he plays. As she promised me that I was more than all the miles combined, you must have had yourself a change of heart like halfway through the trap because your voice trailed off exactly as you passed my exit sign Kept on driving straight and left our future to the right I am stuck between my anger and the blame that I can't face in memories of something even smoking weed All right.

So this all happened in about two thousand twenty one. So he finishes that song. It blows up. Now this guy's from New England. Last week He sold out Fedway.

Fenway Park, the stadium. For like you know, whatever, fifty thousand People. So Keep

Writes that song, he puts it out, it blows up, it goes viral. The guy in a matter of three years goes from just a dude in his parents' house playing on TikTok. posting a verse of a song. And what's funny is that in two thousand nineteen, right when he was doing this, he tweeted out, he goes I'm probably not gonna ever sell out Madison Square Garden. In fact, I'm probably not even gonna sell all the shows that I that I uh have for this tour. But as long as you'll have me, I'll keep writing some songs.

And he played Fenway Park and sold it out. And actually a few days ago he sold out Madison Square Garden three nights in a row. And I wanted to share this story with you. Because it makes me feel awesome. It also shows that if you Put your shit out there. This is what the internet's for. If you put your stuff out there, even if it's incomplete. People love seeing progress. Dude, uh, that's right up my alley. So I have two or three things that that reminds me about. The first is

I forgot who it was we were talking to recently, but We were I was having a discussion and the the idea came up that In most areas of life You shouldn't be hoping for like the miraculous save, right? The one thing that's gonna turn your business around or the the person who's gonna meet you and just give you that opportunity, just hand it to you. But there is in content an exception, which is that in content.

You're really one hit away. And Just because your earlier stuff hasn't taken off doesn't necessarily mean it's bad. So you get a lot of false negatives. But then sometimes you get these breakout positives. And this is an example of that where

You know, the guy goes to sleep with no comment. You know, he's basically planning to just delete the video, thinks it was a bust. And he was just one hit away from his entire life changing. And there's something that's pretty magical about that when it comes to only a few areas of life. Like I think this is true in mo all the arts. So movies, music Content. But also even games when we had Dan Porter on

He was talking about his company and his company was failing and he's basically had a few weeks left. And he's like, Let's make one last game and I'll make it this time, even though I'm not a game designer. And he just made draw something, this like stupid simple app that just took off like wildfire. And so being one being one hit away, it's sort of a last bullet in the chamber. that you can uh that you can think about and and and sort of

continue to to operate with some with some hope on. I think that's pretty powerful. Which which implies, by the way, that you're taking lots of shots. Dude, so my most viral Twitter thread was that Clubhouse thread when Clubhouse was like, you know, all the rage and I came out and I I posted this like really long thread, like 30, 40 tweets long about how I thought, you know, everybody thinks Clubhouse is gonna take off or is is the next big thing, but I don't think it's gonna work. And the very first comment was this guy who worked at Facebook and when we were getting acquired by Facebook, he was like the principal engine who was like vetting all of our team.

And Yeah, I post this thread. And you know when you Yeah, you push stand. It's like that mail chimp gif where the finger's shaking right above the button and you're like, you know You're putting yourself out there a little bit. And his first thing is like

Dude, this is way too long. Like nobody's gonna read this. This is too much. And he said it in a way that wasn't even like a hater. He was just like concerned, like, what are you thinking, man? Like this is ridiculous. And I was l I was straight up about to just delete the whole thing and I just decided, let me just let it ride for like A couple more minutes. And then it started to just like immediately get a bunch of other positive replies. But I was very close to just deleting the thing right there. And that was a thread that. went so viral that all of a sudden Malcolm Gladwell's following me and there's all these like crazy things going on in the next, you know, three days of my life, because that 10, 20 million people read that.

And so It's just a reminder of don't count yourself out too early if it doesn't have the the emission the initial success. That's the first thing. Second thing. You found my fetish. I am a sucker for amateur. singing talent. I have entire folders on YouTube and TikTok.

I don't wanna see like famous people on stage polished. I like, you know, when it's like the seventh grade boy and he just starts singing and like the rest of the class is like, what, Jacob? What you could sing? And like there's all these clips on TikTok that are like that. And I'm a sucker for that stuff. And you know who has a moment like that? Yeah. Justin Bieber, you know right, get discovered on YouTube. You know who else uh got discovered a very funny way like that?

You said this guy's the Jewish Ed Sheridan. Ed Sheeran himself. Have you heard the story of how Ed Sheeran got together? No, I didn't I didn't know he was discovered that I know that he's been famous since he was like sixteen, so I guess it w it must have been when he was young. So There's a couple of interesting things. We should play this clip, but there's a clip of Ed Sharon on a talk show and he's like, Everyone's like Oh, Ed, you're so talented, blah, blah, blah. He goes Listen to me. When I was fourteen, he's like, I kinda started to blow up in my like, you know, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen age range. I got discovered.

But here's me thirteen, fourteen. And he plays a audio clip on his phone of him singing and it is Awful. I mean it sounds like if I pick up a guitar right now and I genuinely tried to sing, it sounded that bad. He's like, Yeah, I just he's like, that's how I started. He's like, it was really bad. And he's like, I kept practicing. So what what ended up happening with Ed Sheeran is He knows he wants to make it.

And he has like a little bit of a small following'cause he's from the UK. So he comes to LA and he's like I'm gonna I'm gonna just come to the Mecca and just try to figure out how to make it in in this scene here. And he does he gets a couple of fortunate breaks. So he's He goes to like an open mic night. type of thing and he performs on stage and

You never know who's in the crowd. In the crowd is Jamie Fox's like business manager. And he sees him and he's like, Oh, this white boy's good. He's like uh'cause he he's like Intrigued by him. So he tells Jamie the next day, he goes, Jamie, on your Jamie was doing a radio show in the morning. He's hosting it. He goes, I have a guest for you. I want you to have this guy come on five minutes.

So Ed Sharon comes on Jamie Fox's radio show. He plays his like you know five minute bit. And Jamie Fox is like All right. I I'm interested. So he's like, What's your deal, man? Who who are you? Um you signed, what what's what's your situation? He's like no uh no, I mean

I not only am I not signed, I'm homeless. I I just came out here to LA. I don't have money. I don't have anything. So Jamie's like Come sleep on my couch. Yeah. And Jamie Fox has has actually done this with m many artists um that have have

gone on to make it, but he would just He's like, if you have talent, you got something, he would just be like, just come stay at my house. I got tons of extra rooms. Just come stay here. And Jamie Foxx is notorious. for throwing epic parties. He's got like he's like one of the most connected guys in it in Hollywood because he's A movie star, he's a musician, he's just He's he's a comedian, he's very funny. And so he

Would throw these almost like salons where he'd get People from movies, from music, from comedy all come hang out at his at his house. Neville uh Madora and Noah Tagan went to one of them and they told me all about it. What did they say? They said he has a piano there. In the in the other room, and like people just slowly work their way towards the piano and it's almost like an open mic night. He'll just start performing, right?

Yeah, and like he'll s Jamie starts and someone like raises their hands and someone else pops in and like it's oddly a salon's a great way to describe it. It's like a d a place to discover one another. Exactly. And so he Ed Sheeran's there and he's he he I think he does that. He like plays at one of the parties at night and people are like, Oh, this is kinda cool. So the next night, Jamie's like, All right, I'm gonna test this guy. So he takes him to some club that's basically like a All black.

Club. And every artist on stage is like either slang poetry, rap, R and B hip hop. And then Here you have this like redhead, freckled

Teenage boy. Holding a ukulele and they're like Ed Shirin. And Ed Shirin comes up on the stage and he's literally with a ukulele and And literally Jamie Fox is like I was in the crowd. He's like And the my guy was like, Man, Jamie, come on, why you gotta fuck up the vibe? Like, who's this guy? Why you gotta put this guy on the stage? And so he improvises and he starts off

doing his own song and then he's like, All right. Read the room a little bit. So he transitions into a Freestyle version of Fifty Cents in the Club. Uh while he's on his ukulele, basically, and he plays like a Ed Sheeran version of of a fifty cents rap. And literally during his performance, people get so hype

That the the MC who was like pretty, you know, skeptical, just gets on stage with him, starts performing. This girl gets up on stage, starts performing with him, and it just turns into this kind of thing. And Jamie goes, That's what I knew. If he can win over this crowd, He's gonna win. And then he made introductions and ended up getting him signed. Dude, I love those stories. Doesn't that make you feel good? Yeah. That makes me feel so good. I love those stories. You have a another inspirational story about my favorite. Thing on earth.

The Olympics. Yeah, so the Olympics is going on right now. The opening ceremony just happened. And I saw this story that I hadn't heard before. You you might know it'cause you're an Olympics guy. Have you ever heard of Eric the eel? No, I haven't heard this one. Okay. So there's this guy, Eric, and Eric is from

The equatorial guinea. Which is, I guess, a country. And at the two thousand Olympics, it's happening in Sydney. There's this footage. So I let me just work for I don't know who this guy is. I just see this footage. The footage is this. It's the Olympic swimming like trial. And you see a guy, uh black dude's got goggles on, trunks, and he's just feeling nervous, and there's two people next to him. And it's about they're at the starting blocks.

And they're about to say go and the two other guys fall start. They just jump in too early. This guy doesn't move. And so now This is the qualifying heat and his two competitors are disqualified. And so you're like, Oh well, this guy gets a free run. But what you don't know is that this guy

Eric who's about to about to have a free pass into the thing. It's not a free pass because this guy basically doesn't know how to swim. And like some background Basically in most cases to qualify the Olympics for uh the the running or anything that's timed, there's a qualifier. So you have to hit a certain time. But for some countries, I don't know how they decide who, they just get to have like there's a wild card uh draw. So it's like a lottery raffle. Yeah, and they and they go to the country, they go, just send us your best. So and so he wins this thing and he has eight months now.

To prepare for the Olympic Games. Can you just imagine that? Like you randomly win this draw, and in eight months, you're gonna be swimming in front of the whole world. This is a guy who's never left his home country. He's never swam before. And so he gets at he's given access to a hotel. And in the hotel there's a pool that he could swim in for an hour a day, five AM to six AM.

The pool is thirteen meters long. He's swimming in the hundred meter freestyle. So he's training in a thirteen meter pool. He's gonna have to swim 10 times this distance in the thing in the real Olympics. And he has one hour a day to train for eight months. Now pretty quickly Eric realizes like All right, one hour day not gonna be enough. So he starts just going to like rivers oceans. He's just trying to learn to swim. He doesn't actually know how he doesn't have a coach.

And so when he's swimming in these rivers, there's literally fishermen. Who are watching him they're like Son, you gotta you gotta use your legs. What are you doing? And they're tr trying to teach him how to coordinate his body, how to float. And this is what's happening. So fast forward eight months. It's go time. He shows up at the Sydney Olympics.

Takes him three days to travel there. He's never flown before. He gets the Olympic facilities. jaw drops. He he sees the the pool size. He's like, oh my God, I've never swam in a pool this large. And so he's preparing for the event. And basically the other coaches and swimmers are like, There's just some why is this guy so nervous during the practice training? He's not even going in the water, he doesn't know what to do. And so the South African coach starts helping him. These other guys start helping him and they're like, Do you need goggles? And they're he's like, Yes. And then they give him goggles and they're trying to show trying to teach him like. In the day before the event. He's cramming for the exam.

cramming for the exam for a language that you just learned two weeks ago. And everyone in the world is watching you take the exam. And if you fail the exam, you drown. And you're dead. And so that's the problem because when the other two guys fall start, he's gonna get a free pass. All he has to do is finish, but he's never swam a hundred meters consecutively. He's trained in a thirteen meter pool. And so He jumps in and he starts okay. And he's going, and he's going, and he starts getting really tired before he even hits the turn, the fifty meter turn.

And he finally gets to the turn, and at the turn, he stays under for so long, there's literally like gasps in the crowd. They think he's drowned. Like he's just Caught in like a riptide, basically, that looks like Finally comes up and he's going so Slow. It looks like he can't make it. He is so exhausted. And the crowd just starts going nuts. They're like, Go, go, go. They don't know why this guy's going so slow. Why is this Olympic th they don't know at this point, but they know something's wrong.

And they just want to like get on his side. It's like a Jamaican bobsled moment. Exactly. He finishes in a minute and fifty two seconds, which is like, you know, like an extra like, you know, minute past what it should have been, which is a very long time for something like this. You know, these races are decided by tenths of a second. And so he qualifies and so he gets it to the actual Olympic trial. He he obviously then uh you know loses. But this guy embodies that Olympic spirit that anyone anywhere in the world can, you know, do something amazing. Crow goes nuts.

He ends up becoming the national coach for his country, you know, decades later. And and that's the story of Eric the eel. Did they did they ever produce any legit Uh, swimmers. Well, let's keep the story inspirational. So I'm gonna no comment that one. I don't I don't know if there's ever been a a medalist from uh Equatorial Guinea. That's awesome. No, I remember watching this years ago. Um, and it and it and it is inspirational. Do you want to do your sleep ad thing or do you want me to tell you about a car thing?

Uh let's do your car thing. All right. So I'm buying a I want to buy a new car and I want to tell you about two interesting things that I've discovered. We'll start with car edge. So it's a pretty genius business idea. And these guys have been quietly building up a pretty epic business. So the story of this business is that it was started by a father and son duo. The father's name is Ray, the son is Zach. The father He basically w managed car dealerships for years and he was like oh there's like I know the ins and outs, and his son, I think was twenty four or twenty five at the time, and his son always wanted to start an internet business.

And he also liked YouTube and he was like, Hey Dad What if I just asked you some questions on YouTube? about like, you know, how to properly negotiate at the car dealership or how much a profit car dealerships make so we know better what to ask for, you know, things like that. Love it. Gonna work. Yeah. And within I think something like eight weeks, they got thirteen thousand followers on this YouTube page. And they were like, you know, we're gonna buy all these fancy cameras, but then we just got like our iPhone and made it kinda janky. And it just it people kinda liked it. And it was during the pandemics that people were watching a lot of that stuff.

And so they parlay that into starting a business called Car Edge. And so if you go to carEdge.com, what's it say? Do you see the headline? Uh yeah, it says your personal car shopper is here, no hassle, always fair prices. So basically They will Help you buy a car. So the way it works is there's this thing called an auto broker or a car broker. I think you got your car now from a friend of ours who's a car broker. The industry is typically like mom and pop. And a lot of times if you Google like car broker

New York City. You're gonna go to like kind of a mom and pop website and you get on the phone or send an email to this person, you tell them what type of car you want. And they have relationships with tons of dealers. So they know they know the ins and outs of the car business. You pay them a fee, five hundred dollars to two thousand dollars, and they typically will go and buy the car for you, but the savings that you get on the price of the car is typically better than the fee that you pay them. And so it's no big deal and they do all the negotiating for you, so it's not uncomfortable for you. Whatever. Cool. What these guys did is they took like kind of a startup y internet vibe and they create a nice website for it where you go to their website

And they you could you could search different cars and that will rather they have a variety of products. So like one, they have got this thing, it's I think it's like eighty bucks a month or fifty bucks a month, and they will just like give you tons of information, like a database on what the profit margin is on different cars. So you can go negotiate themselves. Or You can spend a thousand dollars and tell them the car that you want and they go and buy it for you and they'll even organize it so it gets shipped to you. and they do all the organization and all that work. And if you don't save at least a thousand dollars, you just get your money back.

And they built this massive business because if you go to their YouTube page, I think they now have six hundred thousand subscribers. On their page. And it's this really cute dynamic between a father and son. All all the pictures on the site, by the way, are like the dad giving the son a noogie. It's like just uh it's just wholesome. Just so wholesome. And that f father and son like dynamic for the brand, it makes you like'em a lot. And they uh they're like, you know, there were a bunch of car podcasts, but we basically what they described what they wanted to do is they probably have no idea who we are, but it's what you and I do of just kinda like riffing a little bit less professional. You you're the father? I would assume. Am I you're older than me. You can be the dad.

You know how there was this big viral thing where it was like um You know, PewDiePie versus T series, like who can have the most subscribers on YouTube. Yeah. So these guys currently have five hundred and thirty three thousand subscribers. Your boys have five hundred and twenty nine thousand. We are four thousand subscribers.

behind car edge. I'm just gonna leave that there. For our loyal army. who doesn't want to see us lose to this father son car buying duo. Go to YouTube and subscribe. All right. Yeah. Back to escape it.

They uh this business is now doing so he he has a a video where he breaks down their revenue. So he pulls up their QuickBooks and you can see it, but he blurs out the numbers and I messaged him and I was like, Hey, uh I have this thing, this podcast, like and he goes, Yeah, you know, I've heard of it. Uh I go Just can you tell me the numbers and I can talk about it? And he and and so he did. And so this business is now doing roughly ten million dollars a year in revenue. I think it's only two years old or so.

And it seems like a great business. These things could be really cool, I think. Honestly, I thought it'd be Almost bigger because looking at the traffic, they get almost like two million visitors a month. to their site.

And so that is a huge amount of traffic to your website for this thing. So I am in I'm extremely impressed. This is only two years old. Ish. Yeah, it could it could be three, but yeah, something like that. Is this something you normally do when you buy cars? You use car brokers. I haven't, but I've heard of'em. We actually talked about it years ago of of people who uh you know, I we brought this up in one of the early episodes. I've never actually used it, but I remember last time I bought my car, I was in the dealership for like four hours, like signing paperwork, w wiring the money. It took forever and I was like I'm never doing this again. And so I just started Googling car brokers. I was like, I want to try one. And that's how I found these guys. And were they YouTube first? So it was an audience. YouTube first. Yeah, YouTube. Did they even plan to launch this as a service or did it start as just let's make a YouTube channel?

The kid, Zach, has a blog. Where he's been blogging since he was twenty two. And he previously he ran some small information business that was doing like a hundred and fifty thousand in revenue. And it's cool. You could see him blogging as he goes and he's like I've I've always wanted to learn how to make money on the internet and start an internet company. And so you could see like he had like two or three businesses that Were huge or anything, but it was very promising for a twenty one year old. And I have a feeling

I kinda like clicked their LinkedIns and looked around. I think the mother passed away from cancer. And so I think there was like a a a feeling of like Zach, the kid was like, You know, I want to be with my father more. Let's see if we can do something together. Yeah, he's got some cool blog posts. So yeah, getting your first customers is really hard. And he talks about the getting their f early customers for this. And then another one is from ten to fourteen thousand subscribers in three weeks. Here's what we learned, here's what happened, and here's what I learned. And then uh I haven't read these yet, but I'm just looking at the titles. These are cool. I'm gonna check these out. Yeah, the this is a cool kit. I think now, I think he's only twenty five. I think I think he's young. Um and It's just a really promising business. And on some of the blog posts he talks about how he's like

Now I have to project. Financial so we can decide when to hire people. And so you're actually seeing him do this in real time, but he's not in you and I's world. And so it's a really fun business to pay attention to and see what this guy, uh what what is he gonna build. Isn't how cool is this father-son businesses like um Or just like, you know, parent kid, but in not in a uh succession

You know, hand me down type of way. So Couple examples of this. We had Al Don come on and talk about Missouri Star, the the the biggest quilting store on the internet. And it's Al and his mom. And he's like, you know, Alan, I think his name's her name's Debbie. I don't know. He's like, Yeah, like same thing, YouTube channel where she makes content and she's the star.

And Al was the like Cool, I'll figure out the internet and like e commerce part of this. And let's make this a thing. And this is a nine figure. business that sells quilt supplies To other moms across the the country. It's amazing. And it's Al and his mom that do that. That business together. Or And Al does a thing that I love. When he refers to his mother.

He doesn't say my mom. He goes, Yeah, I was just hanging out and mom wanted to like quell, you know, like when they use when they use mom uh as like a as a proper noun. I love I'm like whenever I hear someone do that, that like when they just refer to them as mom, not my mom. Yeah, I Jenny Jones. And her YouTube videos are great, by the way. I've I've like randomly watches even though I have no I have no interest in quilting, but I'm interested in her videos because she's so wholesome and she's so good on camera. So I think that's a great example. We had the the guys from

FarmCon and Agswag. Same thing, father and son doing business together, but not in a Um legacy, you know, you could take over my business, but they started new businesses together. And I just think that's so cool. You know, if my kids want to do something like that, that'll be a blast. I I would love that more than anything. I think If I had to bet, more often than not, it turns negative.

But if you get the right if you get the right parent child relationship, it's like magical. It seems like the greatest thing on earth. Yeah, but they s they say that about everything, like doing business, doing a business with your friends. Like Oh, don't mix business and friends or family. Like I've done both. I've done business with my wife, with my sister in law, with my best friends. Like I've done businesses with all of them and But it's high risk, high reward. When it works, it feels like a cheat code because the trust is there, the fun is there, and it's like what why wouldn't I want to do life with these people? Of course. And When it goes wrong, you're like, What the hell was I thinking?

Well, do you know who Coco Goff is? She's the tennis player who is the flag bearer in the Olympics. I was reading about her last night because she's she's been inspirational lately, and sh her father Uh was like man, when she was like Nine or like Wow, this our little girl is like very promising. So both the mom and dad quit their job.

moved to Florida where their extended family was to help care for their their kids. And they went all in on trying to teach her tennis. And so the father who was, I think a college football player, didn't know anything about tennis, learned about tennis, became her coach, and she would say, uh, yeah, it was really challenging that relationship, but we came up with a really good solution. The center of the court was Switzerland. And if him and I had an argument, we would come to the middle. And then mom would come and be the third party and decide who was right and who was wrong and would help us like figure things out. And so like they built like a good system where they could communicate effectively for the last, you know, twenty years, however long they've been coaching together. All right, let me tell you one last thing about this car stuff that I found. So there's this hilarious

TikTok series created by a car dealership. This is Mohawk Chevrolet. Yes, it's called Mohawk Chevrolet. It's just a normal, like Chev Chevy truck dealer. Dude, is this like the office? Like what's happening? Yeah, it's listen to this.

They hired this young woman to be a social media person. She's twenty three from Kentucky or went to University of Kentucky, something like that. And within six months in the job She films a video where they place or she put a bunch of random ducks like rubber ducts all over the dealership. And everyone's trying to figure out who put the ducks there,'cause it's kind of annoying. And she films

This office like series. of her interviewing people. and then showing like cutaways of what's going on. And it hits on TikTok. And so eventually.

She creates a ten episode series about the dealership. Where it's all uh they're all improving. But it is like in a like an Emmy Award winning like series. Wow, dude. This is such a good find. This is so cool. So people, so I think they've gotten millions and millions of views. And the young woman who did it is like I said, twenty three and Chevy. And Geico and all these huge brands are commenting and making jokes on the TikToks and so many people are like

For real, this should be on Netflix. Like I wanna watch this. And sh some uh Twitter uh person, I guess I'll give uh I think a sub stacker, her name's Rachel Carton. We'll I wanna give her a shout out. She discovered this and interviewed Grace. on Substack on her substack and she did a really cool interview where she talks about the process and she's like, Well, me and Ben, my partner, we just come up with interesting ideas. We don't write scripts. I just go into the corner of this like as if she's Pam. She's like I sit there like Pam and I just kinda babble and we like find like a few minutes of like gold and we build a story off that and then we go and make or make episodes every week and she is Wonderful. This is the greatest thing I've seen where people are like, Hey, what's going to happen next episode? And the characters are just other people in the dealerships, like the mechanics or whatever. The episodes will be like, Today my boss, Jim, the owner of the dealership, has want me wants me to make a video about electric

Chevy's because no one wants to buy'em because they're afraid of them. I don't know what I'm gonna do. And it's like the the the episode is like her trying to figure that out. It is So good. That's amazing. Uh yeah, I wanna check this out. And also

Grace, you said her name is? Is that her name? Grace. Kerber, yeah. I haven't even seen a single video yet. I just heard about this.

Literally A minute and a half ago. Grace, I'd like to make you a job offer. Whatever you're making currently at the dealership. We're tripling it. Come work for us. You gotta do this at a at a different scale than the local car dealership. But that is uh that is so impressive. I'm this is amazing.

She's a really good actress. Like she like leans into it. Yeah, I can just see from the thumbnail here. It's like so good. And the most impressive part is imagine a twenty three year old coming into a a truck dealership, which is probably all dudes, particularly like frat bros. Right. And she's like, Yeah, we're gonna do it this way. Uh like let's just do it.'Cause they're probably like, We're not even doing TikTok. We have nothing to lose, right? Like you know When you have nothing to lose, you can try something new here. You could never do this at, you know the corporate account for you know, for Cadillac or whatever. someone on Twitter was like looking at the search traffic.

from Mohawk Chevrolet and as expected, it's through the roof. Uh so I guess it's working. So Those are my two car stories. That was great. Great segment. Uh, good finds. Okay, I have a cool find for you. I wanna see it.

A wellness and health app. That's doing over a hundred million a year. You might think, is this a healthcare? Is it AI? Is it biotech? No no. I'm talking about

Pokemon sleep. Have you ever heard of Pokemon Sleep? No. Just check this out. Pokemon, the Pokemon company, has created a sleep tracking app where you just take your phone.

You put it on your pillow right next to you while you sleep. And depending on how well you sleep and how long you sleep. You catch Pokemon in your sleep and you wake up in the morning and it's a sleep tracker. That catches Pokemon based on how H how well or how poorly you slept.

A gamified sleep tracking. Now. This app is blowing up. It is huge in Japan right now. I think like forty percent of their users are all in Japan. And They've done over a hundred million in revenue on this app already.

Isn't this insane? What? How? Well, there's in app purchases, basically. What do you buy? Go look on Reddit. So if you go look on Reddit. You can find people talking about it. I'm just gonna read you a couple of Reddit posts. It says to be honest, my my true intent with Pokemon Sleep is just to have a consistent bedtime, and it definitely helps with that. I was never the type to lay in bed with my ph on my phone playing games.

But this does help me just put away my phone, put it on the pillow, and even though it's not super accurate, it is helping me. Another one is like, you know, I did move my bedtime from 2 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily because I was getting frustrated at having to wake up with so little sleep. I tried so many things, they all failed. Pokemon Sleep managed to make uh lifestyle is that two thousand dollars in therapy has not I'm even will willing to spend money on occasionally buying bundles in the app because it's actually cheaper than what I was paying to to try to improve my sleep before this. Oh my God. This is insane. Is this owned by like Nintendo or the whoever that's own by Pokemon? Like if you go to the sites Pokemon Company International, it's like corporate.pokemon.com is like the uh the thing behind it, but it's got 10 million users. Only 17% are in the US. So I think there's an opportunity to basically

what they're obviously gonna try to grow in the US, but I think there's an opportunity to just replicate the same idea, which is I've I've had this thought which is health tracking right now is all quantitative and nobody really just Does a remix of it that's fun. Step tracking is a super common thing. Everybody likes step tracking. But step tracking has just been the same, so Everybody just looks at oh, did I get my ten thousand steps today? And it's just

Me versus me, really. Um, and a step tracking. And even the ones that try to make it social where you you might be able to add friends and whatever, there's not really a social thing to do. And I had this idea years ago of like, why don't they just make it look like Mario Kart, where it's me and my eight friends at the starting line each day. And then as we're taking steps, like we each have our little car that's ahead or behind the other person, and it'll tell you if you get passed by somebody during the day, like, oh, Sam just passed you. Um, and then you look at that map and you're like, Oh shit, Sam's like, you know, a thousand steps ahead. I'm gonna actually go get some more steps in. And you would have your car that would Y you know, you could buy your skins or whatever, make it make it look however.

It's like take the same idea, but just Make it more do the fun variants. Do the social and fun variant versus the uh the hardcore data tracking version. Me and uh four friends uh a few years ago, we did it uh a couple of years in a row where I think it was every January we would wear Was it a whoop band?

And we would s the person who burned the most energy for the entire month. One. And so it becomes like this crazy competition where it's like shit, I can't I can't go to sleep right now. I cause John Cal I gotta go burn some calories like John's winning. And it's just who can exert the most energy in January. And it's exhausting. It is so exhausting. I think Joe Rogan does that with his friends, right? Yeah, we we definitely stole that idea from him. With what what does he call it? Sober October Sober October, yeah.

Yes. Uh but when he started it, there weren't the bands didn't really exist. And so once they came out, we took the bands and we did the same thing. Those competitions one hundred percent work. There's a guy I follow on Twitter who walks thirty thousand steps a day. And it is like and then everyone else will post their Steps Like their step counts that that

uh night just to like compare It one hundred percent makes you want to walk more. Right. So actually I had an interesting conversation um at this event I was at with with uh Nick Gray. So Nick Gray Who side note might be my favorite person. He's a treasure. He was talking about he's like, dude, he's like, My first the my first muscle challenge you guys did was so wholesome. He's like it was so fun. I did it with my friends. He's like my buddy who I did it with, who didn't even listen to the pod before that, started listening. He's like he also

Now, if he's just like traveling and needs a quick workout, like what can I do in 15, 20 minutes? He's like, he just does that again. He text me every time he does it. So he I think Nick created a version of that. Called done.

Which I love. He's like he's like, You should steal this. He's like, You guys should do this. He's like, Keep the momentum of the My Fresse Channel. So he has a thing called done. It's like a group of people that all agree we're gonna do X every day. And I forgot what X is. It might be walk a certain amount of steps, might be cold plumb, might be whatever it was. Let's assume you set the bar And what he did was he made a WhatsApp group. And in the WhatsApp group, you only can send one word.

Done. And that's it. Every every day people just say done whenever they've did the thing. And and you can't say anything else. But you get the momentum from other people saying, Daniel shit, I gotta get mine in. And then he has his assistants. He's got his like assistants of the Philippines who will go in and if if you haven't said done for like three or four days, they'll like DM you, they'll nudge you, and they'll be like, Come on, man, like you could do this. Uh, you know, stay in it. And um

I just thought that was great. And he's like, You should you should definitely like keep that alive in some way. He's like, do the done group. It's amazing. And so I think we should uh we should come up with a new a new challenge like that. And just do it the way Nick did with One word. Keep it super simple. Done.

I think what we need to do is do the my first muscle challenge again, except well tell people when it's happening. I think people will I I mean I know I would I would train to get'cause I hadn't If you don't work that energy system, it's quite hard. Uh like I would train for it. Did you um You were with Nick this weekend. Did you meet any other people at this event? I met a ton of people. Um What would you like to know? So h uh here here's a fun way where you can maybe do this. So I came home.

And I brain dumped all of my notes into this stock, but I did it. Almost like a Twitter thread. Where I um They're not it's not like a long blog post with one coherent message. I just bullet pointed.

Like Yeah, thirty bullet points. So I want you to just pick it up. We'll just do three of them. I won't do too many of them. Pick three of them. Just pick random numbers and uh one between one and thirty, and I'm just gonna read you whatever that bullet was. And these are notes to myself, so I'll have to add some context. But uh Well, I can't see them. That's all right. Yeah, you can't see them. Just say the number. Well one.

Um The best advice Is free by definition. Okay, so what does this mean?

At this event, there's lots of talk, speakers on stage, that sort of thing. Um are you gonna say what the event is? We didn't actually say Oh yeah, yeah, sorry. So Andrew Wilkinson, our buddy Andrew, hosts a event called Interesting People. And this is the second year he's done it. So he invites a bunch of people out to where he lives in Victoria, Canada, and it's supposed to just be a mixing of interesting people that he either he knows really well, like some people he like grew up with. Some people he knows from the internet and some people he doesn't know, but they sounded interesting when they applied. It's probably eighty, ninety people, super well run event, um had about had a blast. So While I was there, I was thinking about um conferences in general, and I realized

The best advice is free by definition. And what I mean by this is this. Advice that is truly great. is actually incredibly simple advice. If it w if it would apply to you almost in a generic way, it's going to be simple and almost like Hilariously uncomplicated. Like if I said Sam, you know nothing about me.

But you know that I want to get in shape? Tell me what to do. You have like, you know, fifteen seconds. Go ahead. Tell me what to do. One gram of protein per pound. Lift weights three days a week, walk ten thousand steps a day. Great.

Now If I said if you wanted to create a course around that. Maybe you could, but you'd have to make it complicated. You'd have to add a whole bunch of other things. Like the best advice in the world tends to be incredibly simple, so simple that you couldn't charge for it.

So the best advice is free because either The great advice is so simple, you couldn't possibly charge for it. It would be laughable. To charge for something like that. To say, well, yeah, eat whole foods. You know, try to get enough protein, walk and get good sleep, right? Or whatever, right? Exercise three times a week. Do weightlift. These are such simple things. You can't create a whole course or program around it in that simple way. And the other side is. Advice that is

Um non obvious like that, the non common sense advice. Is like hard one. Like wisdom. usually sh comes from people who are so successful that they would be willing to give it away for free. So the advice from the real winners of life, they're not charging you

For it. Because they've won, they're fully abundant and they're happy to pass on what worked for them. And so I realized that the best advice comes at either end of that barbell. It either comes from people who are so successful that they wouldn't think to charge for it'cause that'd be beneath them. Or it's so simple.

That you couldn't possibly charge for it'cause it takes a minute to tell you the answer and then after that it's about you following it. And so I think that that is a a a general way that I'm now thinking of advice. Anything that falls in the middle is the midway. It's basically advice that. It's overly complicated. You're paying for it and um And ultimately like you haven't actually found the most useful version of the advice.

Were there any people who you met who were shockingly amazing or interest interesting? Nick Ray. Craig Eisenberg? Greg, a lot of people know Greg'cause he's on Twitter or whatever. Greg is Ten times more fun in person.

than he is online. You might even like his online content, but I'm just saying He's that much better in person. He's just got he is a he is just like a walking vibe. Whenever I'm around him, it's just fun. I'm laughing and um It's very interesting what's going on. And I I guess the way I approach these events is I'm just looking for two or three people that I think are, you know, like

Amazing. And I'm just Um I'm looking for people who just have a certain energy about them, a certain way of being. That

Is good to Interact with because I already have a day to day life, a routine. If I'm getting out of my routine to go to something. I don't want to just spend it with Uh I don't I don't want to spend my my

my my time out of my routine doing the same things I would do in my routine. So I try to make an effort to hang out with people who are uh maybe people I don't hang out with all the time or Um hang out in a way that is not just like m you know, my normal normal zone that I'm in. Was there anyone else that fell in into that category or any

Insight that you got. Okay, I'll give you one note here. Not necessarily something that changed my mind, but something that I thought was Pretty insightful. So Patrick Hampbell did a a a breakout session and Patrick's talk was basically like after he sold his company, and Patrick's been on the pod before uh talking about how he sold his company for like I don't know, two hundred, two hundred fifty million dollars. And what happened after that? And he said something that I I I really liked. The question I asked him, I go, If your brother

Sold his company now. You can give him some advice on like what to do in the kind of the year after you sell. What should I I just sold, what should I how should I think now? Knowing what you just went through, what would you advise them? He said, Well First thing

Probably like no m don't make any major moves for like six to nine months. No major purchases. I think you did this too, right? No major purchases for for six to nine months. He said it well, he goes. Don't worry, you have the rest of your life to spend this money. So you're don't you don't have to be in a rush. The money's there. Um the next thing he said was he hired a guy. This coach um Jack Skeen and he he helped them do kind of like a life three sixty, kind of like a uh

You know, people do these like three sixty reviews where they interview like ten people around you. Um, Andrew's done this, Patrick's done this with the same guy. And they basically this guy who interrogates people. When when this guy stood up to do his intro during the event, he goes, Um He said it my name's Jack and I um When I was tw when I was thirty years old.

I found the thing that I could do. Better than anybody I'd ever met. And I realize that that's the thing I should be doing with my life. He's like, You're not gonna ask me the thing? What's the what's the thing? And he goes I look into people's eyes and I can see their soul.

He's like, basically I can um I can meet people, I can talk to them, I can ask them questions, I can figure out who they really are, what they're really all about. So Patrick said He's like, you know, he asked me a bunch of questions and he into he's like he really interrogates you and the people around you to try to figure out who is this guy? What's he all about? What does he love? When when he's at his best, when is he at his worst? That sort of thing.

And what Patrick said was He took a very intentional approach to this introspection. He's he's like he's like me and my wife did it off site. He's like we did an off site and at the offsite, you know, we talk kind of like what do we want out of life? You know, the material part of our life, the emotional part of our life, the lifestyle. He's like and we made a list and then we kinda talked about it together. And he's like, um we compared we said three things. He goes I would share something that I wanted out of life.

And either it would be Cool. Go for it. Like you know, you do you. Or it would be Cool, I wanna do it with you. Let's do that together.

Or I'm not down with that. Uh, like I don't think that's in uh you know congruent with what I want. And he also said that he made a scorecard for himself and he said one thing on the scorecard that I really like. So on a scorecard, he was like, you know

I check in every six months or so, whatever, and I think about, you know, accomplishments I'm proud of, my wins. Um, things that I'm bad at that I've accepted that I'm bad at. So like Things I'm bad at that I'm not working on improving. But I'm at peace with the way they are. Um

Then it's things that I'm working on. And then the last one is like losses I will no longer live with. And he's like This is L's that I'm no longer willing to take. So things that I are not okay in my life, that I need to make a change, but I'm not.

already making that change. I thought it was very useful to do this bucketing because When he said these, none of them sounded that surprising, but I had never really asked myself those questions. Yeah, one of the you know. All four of those. What are the wins? What are things I'm bad at that I'm accepting? What are the things that I'm bad at that I'm not accepting? I'm working on.

And what are the the areas of my life I'm no longer willing to tolerate? The losses I'm I'm no longer willing to tolerate. And what I like about these is it normalizes having kind of these highs and lows in your life. And I know that most people try to bury

things like you know, here's some areas of my life I don't feel great about, but I don't really want to address them because when I do, I just feel like ashamed and kind of guilty. And I feel like bad about myself when I do. So because I feel bad about myself when I address these, I don't address them. I just stash them. And I thought it was a very useful way of um thinking because it brings it all to light and says, Well, yeah, there, of course, there's these buckets. And of cour it would be silly of me to not have anything in one of these buckets. Like of course I've gotta have some wins, I've gotta have some things I'm bad at, I've gotta have some things that I wanna change. I've gotta have some things that I feel like I'm making progress on. Like And every bucket should have something in it and that's nothing to be feel bad about. I thought that was just a very useful um

exercise that I think more people could could benefit from. I think um A a takeaway that I've had of hanging out with people like Patrick and other people who uh maybe people earlier in their career look up to, of which Patrick should be that type of person. You think that when you quote make it.

You don't have doubts and you don't spend money on foo foo shit like a life three sixty. You spend even more on that type of stuff because it's just still incredibly necessary. Do you know what I mean? Like I'm more necessary than ever. I'm reading this Jack Skeen website. And this is something that previously I would look it back out on and be like, who needs that? Like if you're gonna kick ass, you're gonna kick ass. Now I'm reading it.

And I'm like I want this. I need answers. I have no answers. This man has the answers. I mean the headline says discover your true life purpose and direction with the roadmap. Right. You know, if I if I hit that. normally I'm bouncing, but when you hear about it in the context of a story and your friends have done it and you're at a certain time of your life. It makes total sense to to invest in things like this. This is awesome. Um

Well that's good. It was a good trip. It was a lot of fun. It's also I mean, it was cool'cause I would say sixty, seventy, eighty percent of the people there like listen to M Fm, which is great. You're popular? Well, yeah, but like more more than that, I mean, a lot of people had cool stories

of stuff that we've talked about. that they could they would come up and share. They'd be like, Oh dude, like whether it was just just like oh I hit my first million. And I'm like, Yeah, cool. I'm like a genie. I appear when you hit your first million. That's it. You just say the words and it and it happens. Um, or there's people who are like, Yeah, you guys talked about this.

And I went and did all these things. And here's what's happened since. And I normally you don't get that feedback loop, right? When we get on here, people don't realize like I just treat this like I'm just hanging out with you. And I'm trying to tell you interesting things, you're telling me interesting things and I get excited and then we get off and like

That's kind of it. Uh only now we're starting to be involved even with like the thumbnails and the titles to be like, Hey guys, like We just like Yeah, I don't care if it gets less clicks, just make us look less stupid, please. Um, you know, like that that's kind of like our level of involvement post Post episode.

Um, but we definitely don't really get as much feedback as there is. So that was I would say the the most fun part was people coming up and having stories that were that branched off of something that we talk about. One time you and I talked about this World War Two book. That I was reading about. Uh, and we talked about Hitler'cause he was part of the book. And like

the headline that we had used or somebody picked. for the video was like leadership lessons. From the third right. And I was like Oh my God, no. Do not do that. Delete, delete, delete. That is not what I meant.

Oh, dude, I also had a lesson learned. So I gave a t I gave two talks at this event. I had one good talk. And I had one dog shit talk. And that was a great lesson to learn of just eating shit. And realizing Five minutes into the talk, oh, I've made a huge mistake. So the first one was just a breakout session, it was, and she was like, Well, you could just do whatever you want, and I was like, Cool.

I'm not even gonna have a topic going in. I mean if Talk to the people there and we're gonna we're gonna like figure out what do people want to talk about and then we'll improvise. We'll riff. So I'll tell you about the good one and then

the bad one. So the uh I actually don't think about the bad one first. So here's what what went wrong with the bad one. These are lessons learned in public speaking. So I um I get up on the stage and I grab the microphone. And I can't help myself, but

try something that I've never done before that I have not prepared for, but I just want to see what happens. So I go for that. Which was actually that part was okay. So they had Matthew Dix, the storytelling guy, give like the opening talk at the event. So he He was like the nine a.m. and I was like the four PM. So at the nine A.M. thing. He gets on there and he tells a great story and he he's got He's like a prof he does these speeches everywhere. So like he's Ready to tell us how

in business storytelling can be super valuable. So I'm writing a ton of notes and I'm inspired. I'm already a believer in storytelling, so You're preaching it to the choir, right? It's like the Kool-Aid man burst through the wall and I already had my cup ready. Pour it on in. And so he convinces us to how important storytelling is. But the next one

Ten sp you know, five speakers or whatever. They already knew what they were gonna say. So they get on stage and they don't really tell a story. And I'm like, dude. We all heard that, right? Storytelling's the shit.

So I was like, I'm gonna try to tell a Matthew Dick story at the start of my talk. And so fifteen minutes before I'm supposed to go on, there's like a little break and I decide to like try to write a story that I'm gonna tell. Which is probably Not enough time to do that, but whatever. I gave it a shot. I was like, I'm here, I'm gonna get my reps in. So I got my rep in. I try to give the talk. I would say

Okay, at least I get credit for trying something new, and everybody understood why my story was like not so great was because I just m obviously made it up like you know, uh a few minutes before. Now After that I decide I'm like, you know what? Conferences are these Usually it's like you get on stage and you're supposed to have the answer. Like here's how you do it, right? Here's how you do X. And you're supposed to be the know it all genius who like, you know, that's what the guy on stage is doing.

So I decide, you know what, I'm gonna be different. And Being different. The th the thing that'll tell you about being different is when it works. Awesome. When it doesn't work.

You're just fucking weird. And so I decided to go on stage and tell people about all the ways that I have failed and lost money. So specifically the decisions I've made that have been the worst for me in terms of success and finance. Uh how how how I've lost, you know, a hundred million dollars to these seven or eight really poor decisions. And I get on stage and I start giving the talk, and what I realize is This is a Downer. This is an absolute depict downer. And even though my information might be good. And the principles in this might be good. I am basically making everybody in this room state change.

downward. I should be leaving them on a high note. It's the end of the event. We should be like, you know, lighthearted. Everyone's done a full day. They're tired. They're not looking for something heavy. And I came in Like a weighted blanket on that crowd. And so five minutes in, I was like, Oh, this is a bad idea. I shouldn't have done this. And I didn't have the skills to um

you know, pull out of that nosedive and change my topic. And I'm sure to them it was fine, but I know in my head what a good talk feels like when I give it. it's it can be electric, you know, like people are laughing and they're they're writing notes furiously and they're feeling good and afterwards they're buzzing and they can they want to run through a wall afterwards. This was like the wall ran through them. And so I I feel like uh that was a a big mistake on my part there. Wall was the winning one. The winning one was basically the opposite of that. So I As soon as the talk happen, or as soon as they're like, All right, get any breakout sessions, everybody and mine was in the main room, so they were like

People just like stayed in their seat. It's like a five minute break so everyone just like stays in their seat. They're like kind of on their phone checking their email, but and I was like, Oh no, I gotta sh I gotta shift the energy first and foremost. I doesn't matter what I'm gonna say, I gotta shift the energy. So I had the the insight at that point to do it. I just didn't have it at the other talk. And so I um

I immediately was like all right, everybody Come over here to this side of the room. Bring a chair. Let's make a circle. Like circles have a different energy in general than somebody on stage and everybody sitting in a crowd facing them, not seeing each other. And I had to move. Bring their chair, come over here, quickly make a circle.

And then I did a little bit of crowd work almost like a comedian. There was a guy in the group. Who uh who I had known and had a funny encounter with before this. I he used to be in like a mastermind group of mine before this. And I kicked him out because I was like it was like four straight meetings where he would say the same thing and be stuck at the same plateau. And I kicked him out. I was like, dude, Alex like

Honestly, I think the best thing I could do for you is not even let you come here and say this same story again. Cause you're just like getting into a rut. Don't come back here till you've doubled revenue. I just like kicked him out. And actually he's like aidexed since then, and then like three years since then. And so he's done incredibly well. And so I I was like

Haven't seen you in a while. Like How are things going? Any uh attention here. No, dude, I was great. I'm AX, it's all good. And so Anyways, and I had I did this thing where people were like, How do you do X, whatever? And I had us do like a I uh like a push up thing to like change the energy like in that in that moment. Like let's get the blood flowing. 'Cause one of my principles is

Good decisions come from good energy. So If you are trying to figure something out, you're trying to make a decision. Or you're trying to rally your team. If you're doing it from a state where everybody's tired. Or stressed.

Or afraid of what's going on, or Just literally like half paying attention. That is not where great ideas or great decisions um come from. And so the first thing you do is you shift your your state and then you make your decision. Then you try to ask yourself the question of how are we gonna make this happen? Um, and so I sho I showed people like how quickly you can change your energy. Like, watch this, like fifteen seconds, twenty seconds, you'll be you'll be feeling different than you are right now.

And so that was a a much better thing where it didn't really matter what I said. But crowd work in order to make it more interactive. Keeps everybody on their toes'cause they don't know when I'm gonna talk to them. Um and then Shifting the energy first and worrying about information later, uh, was the smart move there.

So it was a good trip then. I mean I uh It looked awesome. I saw the list of people going. Yeah, it was cool. Tons of great people. All right, that's the pod. I feel like I can rule the world, I know I can be what I want to

Uh Put my law in it like no day song On the roadless travel never looking back
