00:00:00.000 I'm in business and you're like, hey man, can you give me a bro deal?

00:00:03.220 Yeah, no problem, man.

00:00:04.500 And I did that and look, it works.

00:00:06.140 The challenge was is that over time, I definitely ended up on the short end of the stick.

00:00:10.880 And probably about a decade ago, I was working with a mentor and I just got fed up because

00:00:14.580 I felt like I saw all these other people that started after me that were doing better than

00:00:19.160 me.

00:00:19.440 And it wasn't because they were bad people, but I think that they just asked for what

00:00:23.540 they thought they were worth.

00:00:24.760 I can still be a nice guy, but I want to be known as a good man.

00:00:27.660 I want to be known as somebody that's fair, that's got boundaries, that sets standards,

00:00:31.620 that holds people accountable.

00:00:32.860 I don't want to be a pushover.
