I am so excited I get to 90 00:03:58,860 --> 00:04:01,960 share my story today. And to be honest, I didn't know I 91 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,120 would get to share my story with people. 92 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:10,230 And I've always enjoyed being around people like you, like 93 00:04:10,230 --> 00:04:13,950 Mike, White, everybody else in the community who have been 94 00:04:13,950 --> 00:04:16,000 there to support me since day one. 95 00:04:16,460 --> 00:04:19,480 And, you know, as I was starting off, I was I was kind of 96 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,540 wondering as I was about to to get involved in this 97 00:04:22,540 --> 00:04:26,010 community and are they going to say, all right, you're an 98 00:04:26,010 --> 00:04:26,740 investor now. 99 00:04:26,980 --> 00:04:30,910 Good luck. Goodbye. But no, I realized right away as I 100 00:04:30,910 --> 00:04:34,720 started down that train of thought that I would be 101 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,180 surrounded by people 102 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:40,240 who are more successful than me constantly. And I one of my 103 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:46,030 favorite quotes is it says, you become the average of the 104 00:04:46,030 --> 00:04:47,640 five people you spend the most time around. 105 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:52,640 Jim Rohn. Yeah. Right, Michael. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And so I 106 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,640 believe that so strongly. 107 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,180 And so I've I've I've I've been intentional about 108 00:04:58,180 --> 00:05:01,700 engineering my time with who I spend it with. 109 00:05:02,140 --> 00:05:05,460 And I've also been intentional about spending less time 110 00:05:05,460 --> 00:05:08,000 with people who would drag me down. 111 00:05:08,180 --> 00:05:13,200 But. Anyways, enough about enough about that. That's all 112 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:13,760 good stuff. 113 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,540 But so before I found this, I didn't even know I was 114 00:05:17,540 --> 00:05:18,620 invested. 115 00:05:18,980 --> 00:05:21,800 I was interested in investing in real estate. 116 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:27,650 I've I was raised in a family that was always lacking in 117 00:05:27,650 --> 00:05:28,760 money. 118 00:05:28,820 --> 00:05:31,070 Let's just put it that way. And so I learned from my 119 00:05:31,070 --> 00:05:34,470 parents that the way life goes is you go to work in the 120 00:05:34,470 --> 00:05:35,380 morning. 121 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:39,180 Then you come home and you do that every single day. 122 00:05:39,180 --> 00:05:40,860 And that's just how life is going to end. 123 00:05:41,260 --> 00:05:45,320 So I didn't ever look beyond that. I was taught, in fact, 124 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,690 from the time that I was really little, that I need to go 125 00:05:48,690 --> 00:05:51,770 to school and get good grades so I can go to college and 126 00:05:51,770 --> 00:05:52,660 get a good job. 127 00:05:52,980 --> 00:05:55,220 I'm sure a lot of you people can relate to that. 128 00:05:55,220 --> 00:05:59,330 But that's how I was raised. And so even when I and I didn 129 00:05:59,330 --> 00:06:04,550 't have mentors for careers, for personal development as I 130 00:06:04,550 --> 00:06:06,200 was growing up. 131 00:06:06,740 --> 00:06:10,770 And so that's really all I knew. And as I was graduating 132 00:06:10,770 --> 00:06:14,710 college, I still I still didn't know what I wanted to do 133 00:06:14,710 --> 00:06:15,900 for a career. 134 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,090 So even on graduation day, people were asking me, so, Tyson 135 00:06:20,090 --> 00:06:23,570 , what would you have this degree in exercise science and 136 00:06:23,570 --> 00:06:25,960 nutrition to bachelor's degrees? 137 00:06:26,140 --> 00:06:29,650 What are you going to do with it?
