0:00Until I was in my early 20s, I had a I am statement that I am bad at math. I basically learned everything till algebra two. And then as soon as we got into precalculus, I had a pretty, you know, bad experience. And so then from then on, I pretty much just cheated. In my early 20s, I decided to stop using a calculator for everything. Whenever I could do math, I just tried to do it in my head. I would check with a calculator afterwards. I'd compare. Then I started just doing math in front of people because that's what I was doing for the last few years. And people are like, "Dude, you're so good at math." And I remember the first time someone said that to me, I was like, "Huh?" That led into me taking the GMAT because the GMAT's the like kind of the the big standardized test for for business [music] school. And math is half the test. And so I was like, "I have to get over this belief." And so I did 16 phone books of math problems. It took me 4 hours a day for 5 months. Every day for 4 hours I would do math problems. By the time I got [music] to the test, I got whatever, above Harvard's mid score. If it is a skill, you can learn it.
