How a $100k Credit Card Limit Showed She Was the Right Partner

0:00I saw a tweet from you a little while ago. What's the story there? >> She had gotten all of her friends from high school to quit their jobs to start this next business with us. Christmas Eve you find out that we're not going to get the money and it was starting 48 hours later. For that model to work, we were going to spend $3,300 a day on advertising, hotels, airfare, rental cars, per diems for food for all of these sales guys to fly out to these locations and then do the launches that we were doing successfully. It was at that moment where I said, "I have a $100,000 limit on this credit card which I still had from my gym that that Amex hadn't canceled yet." I'm at her parents' house sleeping in their room because we couldn't afford anything. And at this moment it's like, "Okay, this could go horribly wrong. I'm going to be going into debt at $3,300 a day. I respect you if you want to dip out. Like I we're cool." And so that was when she said she would she would stay with me.

0:42And so for me that was a big moment. She was willing to hang with me when it was going to be hard and I knew that where I wanted to go was not going to be home waters. I knew I needed somebody who wanted to be next to me and would want to weather those storms. I mean for us to get, you know, married after that, both of us were like, "Yeah, I think we should get married."
