OK, so I left corporate job two years ago, March 24th. It's kind of like a holiday now. It's kind of like a the day I left. You know that path. And I've been thinking about making a video about it for a while, but I just haven't. But today in particular I'm looking around my little my little workspace here. And it's a disaster. So if you're in a video. I don't know, you might think that's cool. They've got old lava leaders. And carts and cameras and cables. And mixers. And cables and cameras and cables. And Pelicans. And headphones and cables and. To do lists of stuff that I'm. Not getting done. This morning I had a client meeting. I had a fun like meeting with a tick tock influencer meeting and helping. Design the workflow for how to. Shooting at it on the go. I have two proposals that I have to get out the door. For work. Anyway, things are bananas. But to those when I left, when I left the job. So many people came out of the woodwork and said it version of like. Good for you or. I wish I had or. Some really dark stories about like. Whatever, just very personal stuff. So. I rarely share. How good it is out here? It's very good out here. It's unpredictable. Money goes out, money goes down. I've run into many dead ends. I should go back and story, tell all the things I've done, whether it's building a studio in my house, building that day in my house. Client work that went sideways, products that I tried to sell, it didn't work. But it's been a couple of years. And the real question I I. I asked myself a little bit, is was it worth it? Answers 1000%. I've grown more, I've learned more, I've done more. Pretty much the only thing I haven't done. Is like watch my. Triple match, 401K rise or whatever. Not that there's anything wrong with that. But it wasn't for me. And I also didn't leave corporate because it was like virtuous or something I just couldn't do. So if you can't do it. You are not alone. Maybe that's what I wanted to say. Sometimes I'll I just want to know also just. Just sure that it's good news. Like, really wonderful, surprising things had happened. I still have crazy hair. Getting a little more Gray. Anyway. Tell my former corporate colleagues too. I kind of missed some of you, so bump into you at some point I'm sure. But if you want to get out of the rat race. You just want to talk to somebody about it. You can call me and I won't tell anybody. You want to leave the corporation and it'll mean that the ones I used to work at you don't mean. OK.
