0:00I'm glad the mic's down here, makes the short king feel tall. I'm [snorts] a third generation firefighter and fitness coach. We're currently doing about 1.7 million dollars revenue. I don't have a revenue goal, but I want to help 100,000 first responders prioritize their physical and mental health. But like, I still work as a firefighter. I love my job. So it is like how do you walk away from something that you love and is fulfilling? That's the dilemma. >> This is a really great question. I think the reason that you've wrestled with it is one of the eternal questions that has no correct answer. One of the things when I make a big decision is that I write out the decision-making framework.
0:33So that if I start doubting again, I can reread my reasoning. And then eventually it becomes a shortcut and then you stop thinking about it. >> Mhm. >> You will not get the right answer. That is that is my point. And there will be days if you if you walk down the path of I I walk away from being a fireman that you will regret that decision. And if you stay in it, you have nights every night where you regret that decision. You're going to have a problem either way. So it's a complete myth that you're not going to have a problem with what either decision you choose to take, right? The problem that you have if you get out of the fireman thing is that you might sacrifice some of the relationships. Like you might not see them as much, there's that. You're not going to see the person whose life you saved or whose day you saved or whatever. You're not going to have that.
1:11>> Mhm. >> Is that trade, that's the problem you're going to have, and you're going to trade that for helping 10,000 more firemen, right? On the other side, if you stick with what you're currently what you currently have, then you have the problems you you currently have, which is feeling like you're not living up to your potential, that you could help more people. I don't see a correct one here. It's a choice, right? >> Right. >> That's the problem that you're going to have to pick which one you want.
