Work at These Companies, Become a Millionaire in 5 Years.

Alright. It's a new year, but it's the same old us. And we wanted to do something for you guys. So we wanted to do a mailbag of fan questions. So people have written in questions. We are gonna answer them. You ready to jump in, Sam? Yeah. Alright. Here we go. Question number one. What is the biggest mistake you've made in your business that you have not spoken about publicly yet, and how has it shaped your decision making? Man, I've got a great one for this.

Like, he made this video application that was super funny, and it was well done. And I was like, yes, this is my kind of guy. Young, green. Yeah. He used to do this. You know, he just graduated, but, like, this video is amazing. I gotta talk to this guy. Talk to him. I like him. Good dude.
