07. Taking the Entrepreneurial Leap: with Manifesting Generator Jorge Rodriguez, CEO of Anime World SD
39 Plays2 years ago
What is up my friend, welcome to our very first guest episode!
You don't want to miss the gems dropped from this passionate Mani Gen, CEO of Anime World and my handsome life partner, Jorge Rodriguez.
Jorge shares his perspective on what purpose really means to him, why the word can feel crippling and how he chooses to instead focus on creating a life that he loves to live.
He walks us through his entrepreneurship journey, from graduating college with a Kinesiology degree, almost starting grad school for his master's but realizing he wasn't happy.... he didn't want to do this anymore and couldn't see himself working for someone else for another day.
Jorge took the leap and quit his job without a "plan", when it became sink or swim, he swam. And he believes anyone can do the same if their back is against a wall and they have no other choice but to thrive.
Jorge talks about his childhood and the challenges he faced growing up in poverty with a single mom, and the biggest lesson he learned was that LOVE is all we need.
Of course, I tie in his Human Design whenever I get the chance, and I think you'll really enjoy this conversation!

Introduction to 'It's Happening For Me'
00:00:01
Speaker
Hello, my friend. Welcome to the It's Happening For Me podcast. If you're obsessed with all things spirituality, personal growth and development, and living as your highest self, you are in the right place.
Alyssa's Journey to Spiritual Coaching
00:00:14
Speaker
I am your host, Alyssa, and I spent the majority of my teenage years and young 20s living totally out of climate. As I started to question my patterns and behaviors and actually got to know myself at the soul level, I realized that everything was happening for me.
00:00:30
Speaker
Now, as a spiritual life coach and human design guide, I am here to share my voice, personal stories, human design wisdom, and learn from incredible individuals living their purpose. Join me each week as we walk the spiral path of purpose together. I cannot wait to dive in.
00:00:50
Speaker
What is up my friend?
Interview with George: From Uncertainty to Purpose
00:00:52
Speaker
Welcome back to another episode of the It's Happening For Me podcast. I am so happy you're here and this week's episode is very special because it is my first episode interviewing a guest. And who better to interview than my own personal favorite human being in the world, my partner George.
00:01:12
Speaker
And I thought this would be such an awesome first guest because this is someone who I know in real life that is living his soul's purpose. And I have seen it evolve from him not exactly knowing what he's doing in his life to coming to the place where he's at now. And so this is going to be super inspiring for all of those of you that are on your path to purpose, especially if you're someone who is in the space where you are
00:01:42
Speaker
You know that you want to leave your 9 to 5 job. You want to step into your soul gifts. You want to be an entrepreneur. You want to sell your spiritual services or products. You want to become a healer, a coach. And maybe you just need some extra motivation and guidance to really serve you on this time. This is going to be amazing. And for those of you who are
00:02:06
Speaker
not necessarily wanting to be entrepreneurs, which is totally fine, but you're on the path of purpose. And you just want to hear about how someone else is living his life and what kind of steps he's taking to get to where he's at. This is going to be super helpful. So I cannot wait. George's cosmic profile.
00:02:24
Speaker
is he is a sacral manifesting generator. He is a 5'1 and he has the channel of inspiration and charisma. And so I think you're really going to see it come through his fiery passion. It is so good and I cannot wait to get into it. So here we go.
George's Business Journey with 'Anime World'
00:02:45
Speaker
Awesome. Hi, babe. Thank you so much for being here. I'm super excited that you're the first person that I get to have as an interview on this podcast. So welcome to the It's Happening For Me podcast. We really like to talk about all things purpose here and career, spirituality, but this topic is today is really going to be centered around you and how you're living your purpose and, you know, created your business anime world.
00:03:11
Speaker
Um, for those who don't know, we met in college and you didn't know when we first met that you were going to become this entrepreneur once you graduated college. That definitely like wasn't in your plan, but it just unfolded so perfectly. So I think it'd be really cool to just talk about your path to purpose and how you really created anime worlds and found
00:03:32
Speaker
a way to do what you love to be financially prosperous so if you want to just first start kind of like you can walk us through what is anime world and like how does it function right now so right now uh anime world i sell online and in person i saw anime merchandise i'm talking posters keychains art any apparel pretty much any anything that has to do with anime i i sell it
00:04:02
Speaker
And I sell by the means of online and in person. In person, I sell through different farmer's markets, like at the Sunset Market and Oceanside, I sell there at night.
The Philosophy of Happiness and Adaptability in Business
00:04:17
Speaker
And as far as my purpose, you know, I never really thought about my purpose when I started my business. I think if I started that way, it's a little
00:04:33
Speaker
crippling. I just go with the flow. I just roll with the punches. I'm not necessarily trying to find my purpose. I'm just trying to find happiness and do whatever I like. I guess you can say that's my purpose, to do whatever it is that I want, when I want.
00:04:56
Speaker
Um, but yeah, I think by maybe looking at purposes, it can be a little overwhelming because kind of, you kind of have to have it all figured out by saying, what's my purpose.
00:05:07
Speaker
Yes, I think that's awesome. And what I really love about you and how this all evolved is it's not like it's just this random like dropship company that you're just selling random things. It's like you actually found something that you're really passionate about. Like you actually love anime and you handpick all the products that you sell. And so I can just see
00:05:28
Speaker
Like when we're at the sunset markets on Thursdays and everyone's so excited about the products that you sell. And so can you talk about how that kind of like also guides you? I wouldn't say I love it. Okay. I'd say I like it. If you want to start a business, you know,
00:05:47
Speaker
and it'd be successful. I think you just have to have an interest in it. So some people are so attached to to one idea of let's say I want to be let's say I want to I want to sell tarot tarot card readings. Don't be so attached to that.
00:06:07
Speaker
Do something in the realm of that. Like let's say you try tarot card readings and it doesn't work because at the end of the day it's a business. Let's say that no one really cares for tarot card readings. Let's say people want Reiki healings or they want a different service. Follow that. Follow the money. Follow what works. And then do your twist in it.
00:06:34
Speaker
I think people are too worried about doing what they want. They should do what works. Because if you don't do what works, then you're going to
Finding a Niche Through Customer Feedback
00:06:46
Speaker
fail. Give the people what they want. Yes. Can you talk about how you started Anime World and what you started before it turned into anime products? Walk us through that. So how I started Anime World?
00:07:03
Speaker
Yeah, because you didn't start with selling anime stuff. No, I didn't. It's like going back to the point, you should start a business doing something you like. And if that doesn't work, you have other interests. So you can do those things. For example, for me, for Anime World, I didn't start off selling anime merchandise. I started selling
00:07:31
Speaker
things from the thrift store just reselling things from the thrift store and that by no means I didn't you know I didn't go into it trying to find my purpose I didn't go in I was not even interested in selling those products but because I just started you know then I was able to adjust like hey you know what I'm gonna start selling things that I do like so sometimes
00:07:59
Speaker
Sometimes we're so fixated on doing things a certain way, and we're thinking it's gonna, like, oh, if I take this road, it's gonna get me to the road that I want. But sometimes you have to take a road where it has nothing to do with anything that you like, but just works. And then you can adjust and switch things up little by little. So yeah, I started selling things from the thrift store and then from the thrift store,
00:08:28
Speaker
I was asking myself, how can I switch this up? What do the people want? How can I sell something that I'd like to sell? Now that I've already invested into some things from the thrift store, I have a tent, I have a table, you know, I have all the proper equipment. So that kind of set me up for the next product. So I was no longer doing thrift store things. Now I was looking into selling superhero.
00:08:58
Speaker
merchandise. I would go get distributors. You can find distributors. Anyone can do it. Go to a store where they're selling something that you want to sell. They have distributor information on it. Go ask the store owner, hey, maybe you can help me out. He's not going to help you, but maybe you can ask. Maybe you have a friend that sells a certain
00:09:27
Speaker
product that you want to sell, you know, connect those, make those connections. And then so from, from superhero things, I went into, uh, anime because that's what the people were asking for. So like, Hey, do you have any anime stuff? As I was saying superhero thing, I was like, you know what, let me try it out. And then I started selling like Dragon Ball Z, um, uh, major enemies and it started working and it started selling and from there's where I'm at now.
00:09:58
Speaker
No, yeah, no, that's awesome. And let me ask you this. So you started seeing much more success when you started selling anime stuff, because from a business standpoint, you weren't attached to the original idea you had. So you were
Purpose and Entrepreneurship Discussion
00:10:12
Speaker
going with the flow. You're letting the customers tell you what you wanted. But then also wouldn't you agree that it's because you are interested in anime enough to like, you know, what's cool. So you're able to pick all of the cool stuff. Absolutely. Absolutely. 100%.
00:10:29
Speaker
But there's, here's the thing, what set me up to sell anime merchandise? Had I started, you know, oh, how can I start selling anime? No, I didn't start like that. I started selling things from like the thrift store. Yeah. So sometimes it's kind of, you should, you should work backwards instead of finding your purpose, find something that you want to do. And then from that avenue,
00:10:53
Speaker
you can grow and like, how can I make this into something that I'm at least interested in and make that my purpose, you know? Yes. No, that makes so much sense. And it's like everything, all the steps lead up to it being so successful because you just started. So would you say taking action is the biggest first step is like just start doing something? Even, even if, even if it's something
00:11:19
Speaker
Something silly, you know, like just start. Who cares if you don't have it figured out? This is what I say all the time. The who, the what, the when, the how does not matter. We will figure those things out slowly but surely. Do something that works. Do something that you're interested in.
00:11:42
Speaker
And then from there, you can grow and ultimately find your purpose. Because if you're trying to find your purpose from the start, it's crippling.
00:11:52
Speaker
Right. And not everyone wants to be a business owner. Like some people are very happy, like in a nine to five and they can really tie their purpose into like other parts of their life or how they want to contribute to the company or whatever. Cause we know purpose isn't just your job, but from a business, if they want to be an entrepreneur, you're saying start taking action, find what works because you can't just only do what you're obsessed with. You have to make it, people have to want it is what you're saying. And I think this is part of the problem.
00:12:19
Speaker
What does purpose mean? What is purpose? Right. What does that mean? Right. Let me ask you, what do you think purpose is? What does that mean? Yes. So for me, I feel like purpose is really this kind of like essence of who you are. It's like how you show up in your day to day activities. So it's not just your job, but it's like, how are you here to contribute to society, to move things forward? What are you here to create? It's a very like creative energy.
00:12:49
Speaker
You can do it in a nine to five or you can be an entrepreneur, but it's like, it's, it's using this like a life force energy and you have a creation and it's you wanting to just express yourself. I think the word purpose is too strong of a word. Instead of people trying to find their purpose, I think they should just, people should just find what they like to do. And if you do what you like,
00:13:19
Speaker
You will do good. You will provide good service and ultimately show your purpose. I don't even think, I think it's too much the word purpose. Just people should do what they want. Do what you like. Cause find your purpose. It's
Freedom and Challenges in Business
00:13:37
Speaker
like, what is, you know, it's kind of vague. It's like, what the hell does that mean? You can be creative playing video games.
00:13:46
Speaker
Yes. Okay. I just thought of some things. So let me ask you this. So when we were in college, you went to college for kinesiology. And obviously when you're in school, when you're back then, like thinking like however many years ago that was, you never thought, oh, I'm going to create a business and be an entrepreneur. Like you probably thought you were going to go into something in kinesiology.
00:14:05
Speaker
So can you talk a little bit about like different jobs that you've had and your experience of not liking the jobs that you have? Cause I think a lot of people are stuck in jobs that they absolutely hate and that's where they're like, seek, they're like, Oh, I must have a bigger purpose. Like there, I can't just be like meant to go to this soul sucking job and literally hate my life or just like, I feel like I could be using myself in a better way, more fulfilled. So can you talk about some of the jobs that you've had that like you just really say were not for you?
00:14:36
Speaker
Uh, yes. Um, I don't want to, I don't want to talk about specific jobs. Uh, I think it's just jobs in general, you know, like if someone asks you your current job, are you happy here? Do you enjoy coming here?
00:15:02
Speaker
Are you okay with doing this for the rest of your life? And the answer is no. I recommend you quit right here right now because I think that's what, you know, going back to purpose, just doing whatever you want. That should be your purpose. That's what's going to, you know, make you be creative, make you be successful. Just do whatever you want, you know, like, um,
00:15:27
Speaker
I don't know. I don't know if that kind of answers your question or not. Yeah. No, it does. It does make sense. And so for our audience members, a lot of us are into human design. So I'm just going to let everyone know in the audience that George is a manifesting generator. And so for you, you're meant to be very multi passionate. You're meant to hold a lot of things at once. That's like your genius. And you also don't really like working for somebody else. So I know that's been very painful for you in the past and like you really seek freedom.
00:15:55
Speaker
So can you speak on how free you feel now, like literally working for yourself? Yeah, totally. I feel extremely free. I literally just work one day a week and then the rest of the week I'm honestly chilling. I'm doing whatever, again, doing whatever I want. I make enough in one day to cover my basics.
00:16:20
Speaker
And, you know, I could ultimately grow the business, which I intend to. It's just that I got, you know, I got a little complacent, you know, I have it made to however I want.
00:16:31
Speaker
Sorry, what was your question again? No, yeah. That was my question about just how you enjoy the freedom of working for yourself. Would you say that the huge difference would you say is kind of like managing your own time? Because now like you're not clocking in and no one's telling you what to do. So have you found a way that you do certain things on certain days or like how do you manage your time? Honestly, I don't. That's honest. I do whatever I want and I don't do whatever I don't want.
00:17:00
Speaker
And it pays off. Maybe I will, maybe I won't. But some days I turn it on, some days I turn it off. Sometimes I'm full force, like I'm doing everything. I'm working 40 plus hours a week. Sometimes I'm not doing anything. I don't want to schedule. I don't, you know, that's not what I do. Whatever I want.
00:17:24
Speaker
And that is in so much alignment for your design. Like literally listening to your sacral response. When you feel that like, Oh, I'm on this. Like I'm excited. I want to do this. You're lit up. You have the energy. You do it. And then really honoring yourself and be like, I don't want to do shit right now. And allowing yourself to not feel bad about it. That is literally like you living in your design. And I think that's why you feel like so much freedom and satisfaction. And so much the point is that
00:17:54
Speaker
You know, you said a quote that stuck out to me and you said, I don't want to do this right now. Or I'm feeling like doing this right now. I just won't do that. I just won't. That's just not going to happen. You know, if I don't feel like doing it, I'm just not, I need to find something else to do. If I ever catch myself saying, I don't want to do this.
Redefining Success and Purpose
00:18:20
Speaker
Then I need to put this down and do something completely different.
00:18:23
Speaker
If I ever say I don't want to do this right now, that only means that whatever I'm doing right now is not ultimately what I want to do. So I need to stop doing it. Anything that I do now, I want to do it. And I'm successful doing it. It's like you can do whatever you want and find success because it isn't a traditional way that people do things. People feel like they can't find success in it.
00:18:54
Speaker
You know, like the whole, oh, working hard and hustling and what are you working so hard on? What are you hustling so hard on? What have you used half that energy and do something that you like? I mean, if you're working really hard and you're not succeeding,
00:19:12
Speaker
Stop, do something else because you're not doing it right. It's like, I don't know, whatever you're doing, it's not working. You suck at it, do something else. Why are you working so hard? Do things that come naturally to you.
00:19:29
Speaker
do things that are easy for you to do. If I applied to myself for these things at 100%, I'd probably be a multi-millionaire, but I don't want to. Because it comes so easy to me. And I don't think it's complacent in releasing this. It's almost balanced. Like I said, sometimes yes, I'm all on. Sometimes I'm hot or cold. I'm yes or no. I'm on or I'm off.
00:19:59
Speaker
100%. Okay, so I just have to drop some human design like gems that you've just said. So you have the 3420 channel, which connects your sacral to the throat center. And when you're like, I either want to do it right now or not, that is literally that channel and so much alignment because it's like, it is the doing the sacral energy of the doing and like the manifestation through the throat center. And it's like your
00:20:25
Speaker
It's all in the now. You don't know anything?
00:20:29
Speaker
that is not right now. So like if I was to try to ask you to make plans with me, for example, this is something that like we really like can bump up against is like, I want to make plans for tomorrow, the next week. And you're like, I don't know. Like, because you only really know in the present moment. Like if you were to try to commit yourself to doing something tomorrow, you might change your mind tomorrow and not have the energy to do it. And then you're like, I don't want to fucking do it. So it makes sense to you that you really are like in the now, like this is like, I know what I want to do right now or not.
00:20:56
Speaker
So I just want to say that makes a lot of sense. The other thing I wanted to say that I really love that you said is that you could be a multimillionaire if you wanted because it literally does come easy to you. But like just right now, you just don't want that. And it's like not complacency. It's just I think a lot of times we especially like seeing other people like these ideas of success were conditioned to think that we should make the most amount of money possible. We should be like so high achieving.
00:21:24
Speaker
But at the end of the day, it's like at what cost? Like our souls came here to like be satisfied and be peaceful and successful and present with what we have. So I think like you feeling good in the moment and like expressing your creativity, making the amount of money that you want right now to have everything covered. Like that is good enough right now until you decide that you want to keep taking more steps to create more income. I think everyone should be a multimillionaire. Yeah, I think.
00:21:52
Speaker
Everyone, that's a good thing. Everyone should be rich. I think I should be a multimillionaire. However, it's hard. A lot of people don't have, a lot of people have the hustle for it, but they don't have the mentality for it and the avenue of how to make that money.
00:22:19
Speaker
And it's a little contradicting because whatever you're doing now is stopping you as hard as you hustling now. It's stopping you from becoming an actual millionaire because whatever it is that you're working hard at now, if it's a job, that's not going to get you there. That's not going to make you make that million or multi-million. So it's difficult, you know, like.
00:22:45
Speaker
Some people have the hustle, but don't have the mentality of it. I have the mentality of it, but I don't necessarily have that hustle and drive to really try to put myself through that and do it. I know I have the means for it. I have the avenue for it. I know that it could be a goal of mine that
00:23:11
Speaker
that would be hard to reach, but would be attainable. Some people don't even have that. That isn't even a possibility that they can consider. And they're busting their ass. If only they stop and quit what they're doing and just really value what they are now. And if they want that to make a goal, how can I do that?
00:23:38
Speaker
People that want to become multimillionaire have to meditate. How can I become a multimillionaire? If you don't have a target, you're never going to hit it. How can a person working at nine to five ever become a millionaire? Right. They can't because there's a ceiling. There's a ceiling on their salary. It's impossible. And they can lie to themselves and say, oh, I will become a multimillionaire. How? How are you going to do that?
00:24:07
Speaker
You don't have time to sit and meditate on it. Try different things. You're working eight hours a day, sleeping eight, and then the rest of the time you're relaxing. People that work nine to five don't have the time to become millionaires because you're exchanging time for money. I'm exchanging a product for money. You only have 24 hours.
00:24:36
Speaker
There's no limitation on how many products I can sell in one day.
00:24:42
Speaker
And I hope that answers your question. Yeah, but I will say this that something I really believe in too is the transition into your entrepreneurship journey. So like not everyone has the means to just quit their job and then try to make a business work, especially if like they don't even know that can be successful. So I do think that someone could work a job and have a side hustle. They're going to have to sacrifice other things. What's going to happen if they quit their job? Well, some people wouldn't be able to pay rent.
00:25:13
Speaker
and then they'll be homeless. They won't be able to pay the rent and they'll be homeless, right? And then what? You're going to die? People are so afraid of taking risks. That's not going to kill them. Create a plan. Put a statement in six months. Quit your job. I promise you, if you quit your job,
00:25:38
Speaker
and you don't have a job for six months, there's going to be a fire lit under your ass so hot that you have to become successful. You will not fail. People are so afraid that, oh, I'm going to lose my job and I'm going to die. Ultimately, they're afraid. Put yourself, put your back against the wall.
00:25:59
Speaker
That's what I did.
Entrepreneurship: Risk and Personal Freedom
00:26:01
Speaker
I was making, I was making 30 days, $30 a day. Sometimes losing $10. I lost $10 today. That's my profit. Negative 10 bucks. And thankfully I had you to help me through that situation. If you don't have someone to help you create a six months plan, six months, I'm going to have six months savings. I can only save $10. I'll only save $20 this paycheck. Fuck it.
00:26:27
Speaker
But I'm going to do enough where I have at least three to six months paid for my rent, and I'm going to quit my job, and I'm going to sit in my room and see what happens. People don't have the balls to do that. They're too afraid. They think they're going to fail. We can't fail. It's like sink or swim. You're going to swim. And just, I don't know. That's how I live my life, though. Very extreme.
00:26:53
Speaker
Okay, I don't know, like it was way off topic. No, yeah, no, it's also represented a lot in your design as well. A lot of that energy and I have talked on the previous, I think my episode three when I talk about entrepreneurship versus like working for a nine to five and your purpose, I use you as an example of being the leaper of someone who took the leap and like had the fire lit under your ass and you really strive under like that pressure and stress.
00:27:20
Speaker
and that works for a lot of people and then also for some people like me who's really risk adverse it doesn't work or like I just haven't like had the balls to do it and so that's why I'm in a transitionary period but I do spend a lot of time um on working on my business so it's not like I'm working nine to five and then like going out and socializing with friends and like doing all these things like I literally just either go to work
00:27:44
Speaker
hang out with you and pin it or work on the business. So you just have to have a lot of dedication and time that you're willing to put towards it. But I will say that I definitely experience complacency and like I don't have the fire lit under my ass because I still have an income coming in from my paycheck. And so I'm sure I would be a lot further along if I didn't have that like 100%.
00:28:07
Speaker
But I'm just someone that I need to have a safe, regulated nervous system while I'm creating something because that's just the route I'm choosing. So you can do it either way. It's a Bible verse. It says, He was in a pig pan and He came to Himself. Until you realize that everything around you is shit, then you'll move on. Until you realize that your job that's feeding you
00:28:33
Speaker
this paycheck is actually keeping you a prisoner, then you'll move on from that. You just said that you know that your job is giving you this false sense of security and it's stopping you from really being where you want to be. Until you realize
00:28:53
Speaker
fuck this until you realize this is bullshit. I can't do it for you. I can't convince you of anything. It has to come to you. It has to hit you. A light bulb has to come onto you. It has to light up on the top of your head. And then you'll be living your purpose. And then you'll be happy. And then you'll be free. I've cried of how happy I am. For the first time in my life, I've said,
00:29:23
Speaker
I feel like I'm living my life my way. I can't really, I can't help. So I possibly this message might help someone, you know, break away from that job because a job is not good for anyone unless you're making, you know, 300,000 a year. I'm talking doctor salary. You can put money away. You're comfortable. You're happy. Anyone who's making $70,000 or less is not enough.
00:29:53
Speaker
and you need to quit your job today, but you're not going to do it because you're not you, but you know, most people are afraid to do that. They're afraid to jump into the deep end. Take that leap. It's not easy. It's very easy to, to just say that
00:30:13
Speaker
I'm going to live my life purpose and I'm doing whatever I can. You kind of convince yourself that you're doing everything you can. But it's impossible to do everything you can if you have that job holding you back. They have a leash on you. They give you scraps. They give you just enough for you to think that it's enough. Right. I do like what you say, though, about having some sort of plan, though, because
00:30:43
Speaker
I think that we can really glamorize this idea of starting a business. It is freaking hard and it takes a lot of different skill sets. You have to actually have a skill set to either create a product or a service. So I think they should have some, instead of just like oh quit your job no matter what, I think you should have something in mind.
00:31:06
Speaker
see some sort of evidence that it is working before you fully quit your job if you don't have someone that can help support you for like a couple of months or if you don't have a safety net. Here's the problem with that. What kind of man are you? What kind of woman are you when she hits the fan? You don't have a plan. There is no money now. What are you going to do now? You'll be surprised what your brain does, what you can think of to reach those goals.
00:31:36
Speaker
You've never had a fire lit under your ass and sit yourself in the room for 24 hours and tell me you can't figure something out that's gonna work or try something new. Fuck the plan. Fuck that security. Fuck it. Let's see what you're gonna do. Let's see who you are. Let's see what you're made of. Are you gonna fold? Are you gonna break? Or are you gonna swim?
00:32:03
Speaker
You'll be surprised what comes to you. The ideas will flow to your mind. It's a spiritual awakening. Wake up. Put your back against the wall. Let's see who you really are. But no, people don't want to do that. They'll live and die in their regular nine to five. And that's okay. You know, that's fine. But just don't say you're living your purpose.
00:32:29
Speaker
Because you're not. You're living someone else's purpose. You're making someone else rich. You're working for a boss. You're living his purpose. You're making his dreams a reality. You dedicate more time to him than you do to yourself. Don't tell me people are living their purpose when they have these jobs. I don't care how many two hours you put aside a day. It's not enough.
00:33:01
Speaker
You're really just reminding me of a really great story from one of my mentors, Erica Kramer, the Queen of Confidence. During 2020, she just had her second baby and her husband ran a gym. During 2020, everything closed down. He wasn't able to run the gym anymore. She just had a new baby. She wasn't working. They were in so much credit card debt.
00:33:24
Speaker
Her back was against the wall and she was like fuck this. I'm not going back to a shitty nine to five job So she and she really wanted to become a coach and so she just started coaching and she started putting herself online doing her online business showing up live every single day creating audience and
00:33:39
Speaker
And she says that she was scared as hell to put herself out there. But she's like, there was nothing like we were literally on food stamps. I think there was nowhere for us to go. And so she's like, you better bet I put myself out there and did like really scary shit. And then she's grown this like huge empire. She helped so many women live their purpose and like create confidence. And so that just really reminds me of what she talks about that a lot of like having that energy and passion when there's nothing else. And so, you know what?
Advice for Aspiring Entrepreneurs
00:34:09
Speaker
The other thing that I can say, step number one in living your purpose. I tell this to absolutely everyone that ever asked me, step number one, quit your job. Quit right now, right here today. But people, I stopped. I got my bachelor's in kinesiology. I was going to pursue my master's.
00:34:34
Speaker
I'm like, I don't want to do this anymore. I'm going to go compete against illegal people with tents at a park. That's what I decided to do. I'm sorry. That's a really dumb plan, but look how it worked out. Are you going to live, like, let's say, let's say, uh, compare you and someone else. You live your purpose after work. You dedicate two, three hours after work. Someone dedicated eight, 10 hours.
00:35:03
Speaker
You have, what they, what you do in a week, they do in half a day. And one day, you can't compete against that. Three times. What they do in nine months, you're doing three. Years, or? What they do in nine months, you're doing three months. Oh, the person who's... Yeah, it's three times more.
00:35:30
Speaker
What they do in four and three years, you'll do in one year. You cannot compete with that. You're out of the game. You're not the best. You're going to lose. They're going to beat you because they're focused. They're all in. You're limping. Like, oh, I'm happy. You're lukewarm. You're not hot or cold. You're in the middle.
00:35:53
Speaker
There's plenty of people who have the same purpose, the same ideas that you have. And it is a competition. You like it or not. People can only click on one thing. People can only listen once. You don't stand a chance. Yeah. How do you...
00:36:13
Speaker
Like, how do you get inspiration and ideas for new things? Like, is it like when you're walking? And when you see that, you know, I think it kind of comes back to the time. I have plenty. I only have time to think. You don't have, you're driving home from the freeway when I'm thinking.
00:36:38
Speaker
You have to go to sleep at 9pm while I'm thinking. You're having lunch while I'm thinking. I'm thinking and having lunch. Because when you're having lunch, what are you doing? You're on your phone. You get a break. Right. When I'm eating, I'm still thinking. I'm taking a shower, I'm thinking. I'm shitting, I'm thinking. When you're shitting, you go to the bathroom, you're on your phone.
00:37:06
Speaker
You're not thinking about your purpose. You're not thinking about your success. You're thinking, how can I get my mind off making someone else's dream a reality? Because you need a break from it. So someone that's doing it part time is not going to have any time to think. How could you? Not only do you have less time, you have less energy.
00:37:33
Speaker
It is extremely, extremely energy consuming to think. It is hard to think. And if you have a mind that's divided, you're only thinking that 30% for your purpose, you know, it's only gonna, you know, it's not, isn't it harder?
00:37:54
Speaker
Let me ask you this. So I think a lot of people think that there's this like secret, there's this huge secret between behind business and success. And like, maybe if they take another mastermind or they sign up with another coach, like they'll learn a business coach, they'll learn the secret. But you, which I really love about this because you know, I've invested a lot into my learning and like I've taken a lot of masterclass efforts, a lot of coaches.
00:38:19
Speaker
And every time I learn something new, it's like you are already learning this shit by yourself and like you're experiencing it. And I get to see it working out like in your life and you being an entrepreneur and you haven't taken any of the classes. It's just you're figuring it out yourself. And so I think the biggest secret is that there is no secret. It's all about figuring shit out yourself and everything is figureoutable. There is a secret. What is that? Quit your job. But you don't want to let that go.
00:38:49
Speaker
You'll never, you're afraid of it. Well, because couldn't your job does what? Why do I, why can't I figure these things out? Again, I have nothing but time to figure it out. Right. Okay. So that's the number one I just taught. That's the secret. Okay. Stop, stop living someone else's purpose. Let's say someone quits their job and they're like, okay, now what? I don't have a lot of money to invest in a business coach. I'm not really sure where to start. Now, can you explain that? Now is the most beautiful time of your life.
00:39:18
Speaker
Now we're going to see who you are and see what you're made of. When you become successful, because you will become successful, when you start learning to swim, you're going to think about it's a metamorphosis. You're changing within. It's an inner conflict. Your mind won't leave you alone because it sink or swim. And you're thinking, what am I going to do now? You're becoming a butterfly.
00:39:46
Speaker
You're in a room. Think about the physical and the actual thing that's going on. You're in a room with your mind and yourself. And you're encapsulated within yourself. You become a caterpillar. And what am I gonna do? How can I do this? Maybe I can do this. How do people do it? People have businesses. How can I do my own business? It's an inner turmoil that's beautiful and scary at the same time.
00:40:17
Speaker
It forces you to become a cocoon. You're developing yourself. Am I gonna bend or am I gonna bend him? Am I gonna make it or not? Am I gonna boom out of this or not? And then you'll start realizing, you'll start trying things. Tomorrow I'm gonna do this. I'm gonna try this. I'm gonna try that. This is gonna fail. You're gonna fail. You're gonna fail. Everything's going to fail. 100%. Failure. You'll be the biggest loser you know.
00:40:49
Speaker
And from the ashes, when it starts getting cold, the cocoon will start opening. Something's going to come through. Something's going to work. And you start coming out of that cocoon, and then you're a butterfly. And then you fly. I love that. That's what that can do for you. No, I love that so much. And so for some, if we can just give practical,
00:41:17
Speaker
What are like three of the most practical qualities or skills you think that it takes? Like would you say like resourcefulness? Like I've known that you figure everything out on your own and then like you would have people coming up to you and asking you like hey like how did you do this and like asking for advice? But you didn't ask. You didn't go and ask very successful people for free advice. Like you just literally figured it out yourself.
00:41:42
Speaker
So how would you like, how did you know how to do that? Or like, it just comes natural to you? How to figure it out? Yeah. Get a pen and paper. We're going back to elementary. This is very practical, very easy. It's time to brainstorm. It's time to, to look at the actual foundation of society. Brainstorm these ideas. How do people make money?
00:42:09
Speaker
One, they can go work. You can exchange. This is the economy. You can exchange your time for money, which was what you were doing that's not working. Not you, but the person that's doing it. You can provide a service, or you can provide a product. Three things, that's all you can do. You can go scam someone, go to jail, but we're not gonna rob steal. But those are pretty much it.
00:42:36
Speaker
You can exchange your time, provide a product, provide a service. Three branches right there. What do you want to do? What are you good at? Look at your strengths. What do I like? If I can tell yourself for once in your life, if I can do absolutely anything and it'd be true for once in your life, if I can do anything, just think about it. This is the only time where you can actually do absolutely anything that you want.
00:43:05
Speaker
Where am I going to go in my life now? What do I want to do? I can provide a product, I can provide a service, or I can go back. No, you know what? That branch is not going to work.
Mindset, Resilience, and Overcoming Challenges
00:43:19
Speaker
You know, I'm not working for anyone. Fuck that. You need to provide a product or a service. What do you have that people want?
00:43:28
Speaker
What do you have that, are you good at sales? Maybe you were naturally good at, maybe you did a job. Maybe in your job, think about what was the best thing that I can do? Typing, like for example, you. You say you're a good typer, right? You type how many words a minute? Like 85. Perfect. Words per minute. You like to type? Yeah. Write a book. Go on Etsy and write letters for people and sell it to them.
00:43:55
Speaker
You're good at typing, right? You're good at reading? Look at your strengths. Look at what you're good at. And that's more of a service. And then now you can do even a service and a product. And it'll come to you. Look and rely on what you're good at. Rely on your strengths. And know what your weakness is.
00:44:23
Speaker
And don't do that. Like, for example, I don't want to work in the sun. I don't want to work construction. That's one of my weaknesses. I'm not going to go start my business as a plumber because that shit's not easy. That's hard. So know your strengths, know your weaknesses, avoid your weaknesses, pursue your strengths. And in that way, you'll do whatever you want and you'll be happy. And you'll find yourself in my situation, you know, where
00:44:53
Speaker
I don't want to do it, I'm not gonna. And I do whatever I want. And you know what? You took all the chances. The reason I say this so arrogantly is like I do whatever I want is because I went through the metamorphosis. I went through the inner turmoil. I did all the hard work. I was up at five in the morning coming home at fucking 6 p.m., 12, 13 hour shifts, fucking selling at the park. I did all of that.
00:45:24
Speaker
So it's like, where does he come from saying he can do whatever? That's where I'm coming from. And some people that are not living their purpose and are working nine to five, it's hard for them to like that mentality, you know? Like, because people that work nine to fives, all they do is what they don't want to do. They're on the other side of the coin of how I think. You don't want to work this job, but yet you do it.
00:45:51
Speaker
You don't want to work this shit. You don't want to have a shitty car. You still drive it. You don't want to be in debt. You still have it. And that's the risk that people take, but not going through that metamorphosis and quitting your job. Maybe you have to rephrase that. Start living your purpose. You can't leave your purpose if you're living someone else's purpose nine to five.
00:46:18
Speaker
I love that so much. I love too that, like I said, that, you know, I've invested in like all of these certifications and programs and I learned all these things. And then it's like you just come up with this shit on your own and like literally the Dharma framework of like, how do you find your purpose is pretty much what you said. It's like,
00:46:35
Speaker
the Dharma framework would be like find what your gifts are like what are your strengths and then like what challenges have you overcome how what medium works runs through you best whether that's like speaking typing you know speaking on a stage or writing whatever it is and then also your Dharma archetype putting it all together and then that's literally like how you can kind of break down your purpose um so I just love like hearing your ideas of how you did it um
00:47:06
Speaker
Yeah, I love that. That's very inspiring. Oh, I also wanted to touch on something I really admire about you is you are always working on your mindset. And so I know that ever since you were in like high school, maybe even middle school, you listen to like certain motivational speakers. Can you just speak on that and how you like literally flood your mind with that kind of stuff? Yeah, absolutely. It's interesting because I'm glad you mentioned that because
00:47:37
Speaker
Like how I said, when you're in that metamorphic stage, that's when you do your best you, that's when you're the strongest you. And when I think back, what I rely on is that kid, 19 year old kid, I was working from 9 PM to 7 AM. And then I would go into my second job from 10 AM
00:48:08
Speaker
to about 3 p.m. And I remember riding my bike and then going to bed. And I think back on that kid and I rely on him. And I tell myself if only I had an ounce of strength that he had, there's beauty in the struggle. The struggle will show you who you are, you know? Everyone should have to go through that.
00:48:38
Speaker
But yeah, I had mentors and I had no one at the same time. Because my mentors were on YouTube. I was listening to Les Brown, Zig Ziglar, Jim Rohn, David Proctor, Bishop TD Jakes,
00:49:07
Speaker
I didn't have a father figure growing up. So I made them up. They're listening to these motivational speakers and the ideas that they had. I almost brainwashed myself with the motivational speakers on YouTube, listening to their seminars. That's what I'd be listening to. My body was in the struggle, but my mind
00:49:36
Speaker
was so much, so much, so much, so much further than that. My expectations rose so high for myself. And they made me believe that I can do anything. I brainwashed myself. I influenced myself and I believe that I can do absolutely any and everything. I found that
00:50:04
Speaker
Motivation is fleeing. It comes and goes, comes and goes. You're never going to be fully motivated to do anything. And that's why having those motivational speakers and those mentors that you can go back to and listen to on the regular will keep you motivated, will keep you on the line. You can't be doing a half as job and someone's in your ear telling you that you're great. You're the greatest and that you can do all things and
00:50:34
Speaker
motivating you just can't you know so I would definitely recommend people go listen to motivational speakers especially those that I mentioned on YouTube if I ever have a child I would put headphones on them I would play those tapes to them as they're doing their homework and I know they'll be successful
00:51:03
Speaker
because we're successful in the mind, you know? If you have a negative environment around you and people put you down and you need an escape, that's an escape right there. I'm first generation in this country. I have six siblings. I'm the only one who got his bachelor's degree. No one else in my entire family that I know has a college degree. Second grade, I was held back, ESL.
00:51:33
Speaker
I couldn't speak English. Going from that, and how does a kid like that overcome all those things? It's those tapes. I started listening in high school, talking ninth grade, eighth grade. My body is in the projects in this very negative environment, but my mind is somewhere in space. Say that I can do absolutely anything.
00:52:03
Speaker
where the mind goals of man follows. So yeah, that's where I'm at, my mindset. That's where I'm at, you know. If you want to have that mindset, you kind of have to, you know, every day we listen to something that influences us. It brainwashes us somehow. Go watch Kim Kardashian and you're going to start speaking like her. You're going to start dressing like her. A lot of her values and ideas are going to stick onto you, even if it's just one or two.
00:52:29
Speaker
even if it just influenced you in the smallest of ways. What we see, what we hear are a gateway to the soul. Yeah. I love that so much because not everyone is fortunate enough to have like loving supporting parents who are always like
00:52:51
Speaker
like pouring into them and like you know building them up. Not everyone is lucky enough as an adult to be able to invest in coaching or to invest in like mentorship and so I love that it's a very practical tip that someone can just listen to these free like
00:53:08
Speaker
YouTube videos and literally completely change your mindset from these there. It's like there is free resources out there to start changing your mind and learn to start reprogramming your mind to believe that you can do anything because your mindset is going to be such a huge huge part of the entrepreneurship journey.
00:53:26
Speaker
Um, I love that so much. And would you say that, so how does it feel being the only person in your family, um, that is like so successful? Do you feel like, do you feel like you're kind of changing generational patterns like for your family? And like, if you were to have kids, like, you know, you would completely shift this whole Rodriguez like timeline.
00:53:56
Speaker
Again, I didn't do it for them. Unfortunately, I did it for myself because I wanted to do it. My mom never pushed me that hard to get me to college. My environment would have never gotten me where I am now with education at least. So no, I did it more for me.
00:54:24
Speaker
So how it feels that I'm the only one? I expected that already. In my mind, I had it before I had the degree. When I was in high school, I knew I was going to college. That expectation for myself was there because my mind was so influenced by what I'm listening to that anything else is not a reality or it's not an exception.
00:54:49
Speaker
So I had it before I had it. So once I had it, it's like, I don't feel any different. And I didn't really, I did it for myself. It's what can I do? What can I accomplish? Let's see what I'm made of. Let's see what I can do. And it just so happens that I've been able to accomplish everything that I wanted to. And I think having these motivational speakers and mindsets really helps a lot.
00:55:15
Speaker
I love that so much. And I also just want to also point out a little something again in like your human design. It's like, it wasn't just these motivational speakers. Like they're not what made you successful. Like you are the person that made you successful. You're the person that chose to listen to them. But
Love, Support, and Business Priorities
00:55:28
Speaker
you're also the person that took all the actionable steps to get to where you're at. And in your design, you have the Define G Center. And so with his Define G Center, like he, ever since he was younger, knew who he was. He knew his identity. He knew where he was going. He can live and grow up in the projects and live in an environment that doesn't
00:55:45
Speaker
help foster this identity that he has for himself but he's always known that in his soul because his soul blueprints has a defined g-center so like that identity was always there and i think that helped guided him to his success and then also he has a lot of individual circuitry as well so it's a lot of like i'm doing this for me
00:56:05
Speaker
I'm like I grew he grew up in an environment again that wasn't supportive of his success necessarily like the nature or sorry nurture side of things but who he was designed to be is like I'm individual circuitry is like mutating things like he's changing his environment to move forward and to progress his soul in this lifetime and so he has a lot of that individual
00:56:29
Speaker
um circuitry in his design which i think really like assisted that as well because he wasn't doing it he even said he's he's not doing this for his family he's not doing this for society he's doing this for himself and that's what we need is like as the individual is to move forward for himself and that in turn just motivates and changes everything else around us i just thought that was super cool
00:56:52
Speaker
So yeah, so wow, this has been so awesome. Is there anything else that you want to speak about like on any part of your journey or anything else that's coming to mind? Yes. Let us know. I think what going like going to the childhood part, anything that's possible with love. I had a mother that loved me.
00:57:18
Speaker
single parent. She didn't have a dollar to give me. She didn't have anything, but she had love. And that's all you need as a child is love. So with love, anything is possible. You know, like you don't, you don't need all these things that are around us. Like you don't need to have a fucking plan to follow your purpose. You don't need a six months plan. You don't need to have things covered. No.
00:57:48
Speaker
Just have good intentions. Just have love and things will work out for you.
00:57:56
Speaker
I love that. Yeah, because if you think about it, it's like the universe, God, source, like it is love, it is truth. And so if you're following those things, what I also really admire about you is like your integrity and your commitment to truth. And to me, love and truth are like the two biggest values, most important ones that you are embodying. And so I think it's true. If you just follow that, you are showing that you can be successful. Another thing, a topic I want to touch on is do what works, do what sells.
00:58:27
Speaker
People, when they're fixated on their life's purpose, they want to do what they want to do. But that's not how the world works. That's not how you get money. People are not going to pay you because you're doing something that you want. People are going to pay you because you're giving them what they want. So find something that you like, create a list of 20 things that you like, and if you can make money doing one thing out of that list, that word, do it.
00:58:56
Speaker
Like let's say your life purpose is to write books about tarot healing. And let's say you write a book about tarot healing and it does okay. It doesn't really do well. And then you write a book about crystals and healing.
00:59:17
Speaker
and that does well. Follow that. And then let's say you do the horoscope things. The astrology. The astrology. Don't be attached to any idea too much. Like for example, Anime World. If Anime World is my source of income, it's my main business. If that fails, I didn't fail. This idea failed. Now let's think of something else.
00:59:46
Speaker
This idea that I put years into it, so much work to it, kill it if it's not working. Don't go down with it. If this ship is sinking, don't sink with this ship. Get another ship. Get another idea. If you've been doing something for four years and the ship is sinking and next idea, try something new or add something new.
01:00:17
Speaker
Don't go down with the ship. And it's hard to do that because you built this ship. You put hours and effort into the ship, but the ship is sinking. Are you going to sink with it or are you going to go get another ship? And so that's why it's important to create a list of things that you want to do, or things that you're comfortable being your purpose. And then let's say that this doesn't work. Okay, I have other things that I like. I have other ships.
01:00:48
Speaker
Don't be too attached to one idea because it can fail. I tried different things. So if this fails, you have something else already. One fire puts out another. You're worried about this fire. Don't start another fire. Now you got a bigger fire over here. Worry about that one.
01:01:08
Speaker
Yes, what you just said, I was gonna say is fire. It's like literally like what you just said, two things. I love how you said to, if the idea is failing, like don't be afraid to change it and try something new. And that's literally like the universe, our creativity, us as souls is freaking abundant with ideas. And I think as humans, we get so attached to an idea that we, it's like all or nothing, even if it's fucking failing. But it's like, no, like they're like, there's prosperous, like,
01:01:37
Speaker
money everywhere to be had. It's just like moving on to the next idea. Trust in the universe that new ideas will come to and you will have creativity and abundance. And then I also really love what you said about having an idea
01:01:54
Speaker
not about like what it can do for you. Oh, people don't like pay for what you like. They pay for what they like, like what you can give them. So it goes all back to everything thinking about it from the jeans keys perspective or from the pearl sequence. It's like, how can I be financially prosperous from being of service?
01:02:11
Speaker
You are getting every money, every dollar that you earn is coming from another person. So it's like, what can I create? What do I like that's going to help somebody else? Because at the end of the day, that's what people buy. It's like they buy what can help them or what they want, what's entertaining, what they need. So I love what you said about that. It's like really tying it back to like, how can you use your gifts to give someone else to be of service, to provide a product that they want? That's really what it's about. It's not just like this selfish way of just like making money.
01:02:40
Speaker
And that's how you'll be prosperous. And just know you're going to fail. So get some ships ready. You know, you're going to see, get some ships. You're going here to fail.
Balancing Passion with Practicality
01:02:54
Speaker
Your expectation should be to lose, to fail, zero, net zero profit. Until you get a ship that works. That works for you, that people like.
01:03:07
Speaker
Maybe it's a ship that you build upon, you know, maybe this ship, you build it and you jump onto another ship or you add two ships together, you know? Just know you're gonna, you're gonna, you're gonna, you're gonna get, you're gonna get wet. You're gonna get in that water. You're going to fail. 100%. And with that mentality, you won't quit when you fail. Because a lot of people, they're so attached to one idea, when it fails, they're not gonna, now I'm going to quit.
01:03:36
Speaker
So just know that you're going, you're coming here to fail to try different ideas. That's the only way you're going to try new things is if, if, if you fail, you know, okay, what's new? Okay. That didn't work. All right. All right. All right. Oh, and then you find an idea that kind of works because any business, for example, Amazon wasn't created. It was built upon. You get a little boat, bigger boat, bigger boat, bigger boat.
01:04:01
Speaker
Oh, now we have to switch direction. Now we're on a fucking submarine somehow. I never thought now that I'm in a submarine, I was going to become a submarine when I was on that boat over there. It's like the journey, following the journey is something that works and you might end up somewhere completely different than where you started.
01:04:26
Speaker
is I know that it'll ultimately be better. So like Jeff Bezos, he didn't create Amazon and what it is now. He created Amazon delivering college students books. Here's a book. And then from there, now he delivers everything through the internet. So just because this boat might not seem aligned with your purpose doesn't mean that it might not end up there.
01:04:55
Speaker
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I forget about that. So I wouldn't even say don't have a purpose. Your purpose should be is to be happy, to be wealthy, and to do something that you like. That should be your purpose. You don't even have to love it. Just do it. Do something that you like. Because we're so privileged and thinking, I need to do what I love. We'll tell that to the McDonald's employee. We'll tell that to the janitors and all these schools.
01:05:25
Speaker
80, 60 year old men, women. What about the things that they love? I wouldn't even say do what you love, do what you like. Find something that you like, that you're okay with. I like this, I enjoy it.
Designing a Value-Aligned Lifestyle
01:05:39
Speaker
Do I love it? No, but who cares? I like it. That's good enough. Then maybe you learn to love it.
01:05:47
Speaker
Yeah, it definitely is a privilege to even have this conversation because like our parents and their parents, our grandparents, they didn't have really the privilege to be like, what do I like to do? It's like a lot of people were just getting to this country surviving and now we have the privilege to enjoy our life. And I think as we get to know ourselves on a deeper level and like trust ourselves and take risks, like you say, like eventually everyone can get to a place where they're doing what they love. So for example, for me, do I love anime? No, but I love my life.
01:06:18
Speaker
I like anime. I enjoy it. I really enjoy it. I really like it. But what's most important is do I love how my life is now? If I was too busy trying to do something that I love and pursuing that and what I love isn't working, it's like I'm living my purpose. I'm doing exactly what I love to do, but I don't have any money. I don't have any time.
01:06:47
Speaker
My life is a mess. My life is stressed. Do what works. And make sure that you like to do it. And that's good enough. I think that's a perfect way to put it because so many people, especially when we're on the spiritual path, we think that we need to do something that, like you said, we're obsessed with or that sometimes we're so...
01:07:11
Speaker
on this path of reaching enlightenment or being so spiritual that we forget that we have to make money. You have to be in this 3D world and also be successful and create something that people want to buy. You have to be very rooted in the actual practical
01:07:26
Speaker
grounded sense of things. Um, so I love what you said of like, just think of it more as like, instead of what is your purpose? Like, how do I want my life to look? How do I want my day to day to be? What freedom do I want to have? How do I want to feel and like create it from there? And if you can, if you can find, let's say your single sole purpose is to help the elderly, maybe you can create a business that does that and you live the life that you want.
01:07:56
Speaker
You know, like that's the ultimate goal to do what you love and get paid for it, obviously. But let's say that it's not that profitable. Let's say you want to help you love cats. You want to start a grooming business. This shit is not working. Helping dogs is more. So now you focus on helping dogs and then you also help cats on the side.
01:08:20
Speaker
This is a dog grooming business. We also do cats. Oh, you have a cat? Cool. If it's just a cat grooming business, why would I take my dog to you? Let's say 80, I'm making these numbers up. Let's say 80% of the population have dogs, but you love cats.
01:08:36
Speaker
You're not making any money. And they say 20% only have cats. You're not making any money. Start a dog grooming business and on the side do cats. You're doing what you like, but you're also doing what you love somehow. Maybe you can incorporate that somehow. So you can ultimately do your purpose by doing something that you like. This is your business. I love that.
01:09:03
Speaker
Yes, oh my gosh, this was great. Is there anything else? No, I think that's it. Okay, awesome. So again, thank you so much, George, our first ever interview, the five one Manny Jen, dropping all the gems. I appreciate you so much. And I'm sure we'll have you again in the future.
