Speaker
I'm talking about today's homework. yes i would have it deadline Good morning. Welcome to the We Are Driven podcast where cars meet motivation. This is episode 134. My name is Arun Kumar and I am the driver and I'm here with my co-host Dan LaRue. How are you Dan? Good morning. I am in some some rough shape this week, but we're, we're managing, we're getting through it. That's good. I think hopefully. Yeah. And it's of course only early in the week for us recording today. So hopefully the back half the week is oh yeah it Tuesday. Yeah, it's Tuesday for us. So it really sucks that it's Tuesday and it's, it's bad.
00:00:59
Speaker
yikes that's a low bar yeah right so hopefully it picks up here towards the end of the week all right so anyways we are here on the we are driven podcast as one of the ways in which we are building a community of driven people around the world so how are we doing it through this podcast we are talking about usually half and half between cars and motivation in each episode and that usually takes the form of our appraisal segment where we compete over who's better at guessing the hammer price on bring a trailer auctions we talk about current car news and then we get into the meat and potatoes of each episode which is usually what you would find in the title and they vary week to week this week we are talking about burnout and what
00:01:49
Speaker
We think in what some of our favorite and maybe not so favorite motivational influencers say about burnout. Another way in which we're building this community is through our YouTube channel. It's called Driven Diary and on Driven Diary you will find a weekly vlog that is basically a day in the life or a week in the life of myself as I am working to build a billion dollar automotive services empire. And if you would like to get involved in the place where this community actually congregates and exists, you will find it on the app Discord. and So if you can find either of us on Instagram, I'm at ArunDkumarDans at Dan underscore LaRue. And you can message us and we'll send you a link to the Discord server where you can join and talk with the rest of the driven community.
00:02:45
Speaker
about the pursuit of excellence in business, fitness and cars, be held accountable to your goals and work through our iterative goal setting framework. Now we do all this and we are building this community because we believe that driven people are the next leaders of our society. So we're here to bring that whole group of people that self identify as driven together so that we can unite to make the world a better place. How about that intro? I'm proud of myself for that one. Anyways, Dan, what are we talking about today for an icebreaker? So there's a couple of things out there in the news world, which is kind of crazy. What's even crazier about it is Toyota is having some problems.
00:03:31
Speaker
what kind of problems so therere new and think it's a twin turbo v six that they're putting in the tundras are just blowing up which is not very toyota-like i've heard about this yes yeah and they apparently just found the reason why but i did i haven't been able to dig deep enough to find out what's the reasoning behind it. I just think it's wild that they're having reliability issues. And then they're in some sort of testing scandal of the faked results in like EPA standards and crashes. And who knows? It just sounds like they were being kind of a fraudulent. I'm doing a little bit of research here.
00:04:19
Speaker
That's the main headlines for like the like over the weekend. So May 30th, they issued a press release for a recall for all vehicles with the 3.4 V6 twin turbo. There is a possibility that certain machining debris may not have been cleared from the engine when it was produced. i didn't be In the involved vehicles, this can lead to potential engine knocking, engine rough running, engine no start and or a loss of motive power. A loss of motive power while driving at higher speeds can increase the risk of a crash.
00:04:58
Speaker
So basically engine long block R and&R's for all of the Toyota techs in all of the dealerships around the country for a foreseeable future. And their testing scandal is coming out of collision tests. Interesting. So it's not a diesel gate? No. So it's pretty wild. Pretty wild. You know, it's sad. what are you What are you doing? You're like, Toyota Pinnacle. Toyota literally wrote the book on good manufacturing practices, but now they're just letting let metal slide. ah Unfortunately, these are engines that I believe are manufactured in the U.S.
00:05:39
Speaker
Is that true? I think so. I mean, they have a ton of factories here. So I hope I'm wrong, but this is the Canadian factory. Fuck them. Yeah, right. I don't know what I'm talking about, guys. Don't don't cite me as a source on that one. It's crazy. All right. Well, let's move on to the appraisal segment where I'm afraid Dan, you know, your hard week is not getting any better when I read off these results from last week, but you're not even, you're not even actually, I don't want to remember them. Well, I think, you know, you're justified. Cause I listened to last week's episode when it came out last week, Sunday or this past Sunday, a couple of days ago.
00:06:28
Speaker
And you were legitimately angry at me for my selection. ah You were like, what the fuck Arun? And this week you're not going to do that. I'm, I'm happy to say I'm giving you something yeah you're going to really enjoy. it But last week I gave you an EV converted 1974 Volkswagen thing. And you guessed $32,000 just very off the cuff of you, but people liked it more than that. yeah in it wasn't much more than that
00:06:59
Speaker
but percentage wise it is yeah it so it was definitely a what the fuck vehicle because there was no there was no way around that it was going to that Yeah. So you guessed 32. It went for $46,250 for a difference of 30.8%. Ouch. Fucking things. Meanwhile, meanwhile, you gave me a semi low mile Volvo 240 wagon. The gym. Cool. I guessed $20,000 on a wide range of comps. But I meanwhile,
00:07:45
Speaker
freaking nailed it. It went for $20,500. I believe that is one of the smallest. I mean, the smallest difference ever was $50. Yeah. But this on a percentage basis was better than that for $500 off 2.4%. Nailed it. I'm very proud of that one. That was awesome. Now this week, I'm giving you something that is only describable as fucking fire. And it's not that burn victim. It's not the burn victim car. I texted you about earlier this week, saw Volkswagen beetle. Nope. It is German. This is a 2014 Mercedes SLS AMG black series with 6,000 miles on it auction auction ends in two days.
00:08:42
Speaker
Current bid, $451,000. 6,000 miles and just gorgeous. Black, over black, carbon fiber everywhere. Gold, yellow gold. You know, I've seen one of these in person and they are gorgeous cars. This is amazing. I don't like the normal SLS, but the black series is a very, very good looking car.
00:09:13
Speaker
And somebody has it in the middle of nowhere. You're picking one that's real close to our next recording. It'll be, it'll be done. Yeah, it'll be done right before. Hopefully if it could they go into a bidding war, you're going to get screwed. Then we'll just do it live and we'll change the podcast topic. It's wild that this thing is at 451 grand. That's like it's just that territories. It's crazy. I love this thing. Oh, yeah. Carfax six thousand miles. Very well presented. Premium listing. Man, if I own that, it wouldn't have six thousand miles for long. Are these naturally aspirated?
00:10:00
Speaker
No. Are they are like by turbo, I'm assuming. Wait. Well it has 620 horsepower. I should know this. Oh boy. I think it's NA. Yeah I think it is too. Man the the last one went for 705 grand. That's a lot. That's big money. That is huge money. at Less miles though. 2600 miles. What's it gonna be Dan?
00:10:37
Speaker
Man, it's already at 451 or are for Yeah. Is this say an alumni? No. no Well, Arun, I'm just going to guess 550.
00:11:02
Speaker
OK. Because I don't know.
00:11:09
Speaker
I don't know if these would fetch 700 grand these days. It's a lot of money for a 10-year-old car. I mean, are you just going to call it a 10-year-old car? Yeah, I am. I don't know i don't know if there are better options for 700 grand like in today's term, if that makes any sense. I think when you when you consider the provenance, the rarity, and may I mean, maybe not even provenance. You wouldn't say this has provenance, but maybe it has. Just. Presence. Yeah. good And ah desire. I don't know. That's how I feel about it. Yeah, there's there's just nothing else out there complex that makes any sense. Other than one went for four fifty one at forty three thousand miles.
00:12:06
Speaker
a black series had 43. That's awesome. That's great. Yeah. Yeah. I am a big fan. um So it's kind of, it's kind of tough to, I mean, it could be closer to 600, but I'm sticking to it. 550 it is. Okay. All right. What am I, what am I getting? A 90s car. That's fine. It's not an 80s car. It's Italian. Okay. Ninety two Maserati two twenty two point four V five speed. Black two two two point four V. Yeah. Yeah. Is this a car for 74000 kilometers by forty five thousand forty six thousand miles. What is this? I've never seen one of these in my life. I know. i didn Oh, it's in Japan. Oh, boy.
00:13:04
Speaker
Hmm wait Japan Not it was imported from oh, yeah, I was gonna say it's not in Japan. It's a new Rome, Ohio Twin turbocharged 2.8 liter v6 five-speed manual. It's a little coupe car ah The interior is terrible a Nice 90s Like marbled wood thing. I like that interior. Wait, I'm a big fan of it. I'm not a fan because it's got too many colors going on. If you look at the door panels and the in the council carpet, it's gray. Then you have black seats that definitely 90s bright wood and then charcoal gray floor mats. It's so much color. It hurts my brain. you know
00:13:55
Speaker
This thing has 279 horsepower from an N a V six in 1992. What? Wow. It's got a very clean undercarriage for miles. I like this thing a lot. Current bid 10 grand. Why are all the bi turbos so cheap? And then this is, is just not that cheap. So the comps, the comps that I got are these bi turbos, Maserati bi turbos, because this car has never, ever existed on bring a trailer before. Oh boy. Did you not know that when you gave it to me? Nope. Didn't even look. Just was scrolling this morning. I was like, that's the one.
00:14:46
Speaker
Yeah. Wild. a They're all convertibles, too, for the cops.
00:14:56
Speaker
Pretty wild. The spiders go for big money, it seems. The coops really don't. But this one is not a bi-turbo. But is it a bi-turbo? Is it basically a bi-turbo? I think technically it would be called a bi-turbo because it is a twin turbo, right? Oh, OK. Yeah, it is. They just didn't list it. So it's just that as a bigger displacement engine than the actual biterbos. Right. This is a two point eight instead of a two point five. Yeah. And if you look at almost all of them, comp wise, they're all 80s cars. They're not 90s cars. That's true. Yeah.
00:15:44
Speaker
Hmm. Like there's a couple of nineties, but not 90 twos. I'm going to go with $17,000. Okay. All right. Because 17 of this, I don't, there's a, there's one, there's a two to eight, a nine 89, two to eight, not a two to two with 72,000 miles that went for 20 grand last year. Okay. So maybe this maybe I just underbid, but that's OK. You never know. This is one where it might be like nobody sees the auction. Well, and because they don't know what it is recent import, because there's no way that was legal in the States. Well, like recent ish, because 92 is been 25 years old. Yeah, two years ago. Yeah, a little while. No, we're at 90. Oh, yeah. Twenty five. Seven now. Not that. I don't know why I thought it was 30.
00:16:46
Speaker
Wild. yeah All right. Yeah, 17 grand. All right. That's what we're going to say about that. I have no freaking clue to be honest with you, but I've never heard of these cars. They're kind of cool. It's interesting. kind kind of Kind of cool. It definitely still looks like it should be a sedan. I know. That's how kind of how I feel about it. That's the 90s coops for you though. Yeah. All right. Shall we move, move into the meat and potatoes? Mean potatoes. Let's talk about burnouts, but not the cool kind. Well, so here's why I wanted to bring this up is because I just finished ah on Saturday, June 1st, the third year of the live hard program. That's crazy.
00:17:42
Speaker
And today I started the fourth year of the live hard program. You're crazy, and but I respect the commitment to it. Well, and and here's sort of part of my thought process that got us to talking about this, is there were many days in the phase three of the Live Hard program that I just finished over the course of May where I did not get more than five hours of sleep. And you're familiar with getting five hours of sleep, so I'm not just gonna use that as the excuse. Yeah, and I did not get that last night.
00:18:20
Speaker
That's why you're upset today. Yeah, 100%. But getting five hours of sleep, working out twice a day, forcing yourself into doing random acts of kindness, conversations with strangers, making sure that you're reading, taking cold showers, plus 90 minutes of workouts. two workouts 45 minutes each split by at least three hours when you have a lot going on to say the least is a very big commitment to your time management and to your overall life schedule. I frequently found myself working out at
00:19:05
Speaker
5 a.m. and then 9 p.m. every day. like well Days at a time during a week. Weekends usually change up my schedule quite a bit. I had similar experiences with that. When you did it? Yep. When you tried it? Yeah, when I tried it. and so i I got very tired. And I would wake up and be kind of dizzy and not at all want to get out of bed. But I knew that I had a shitload to do and that I was going to do it. That was basically my commitment to myself is that there is no other option here except for doing the things that I have committed myself to doing. And I would say that I have not always held that.
00:19:59
Speaker
belief that I can commit myself to doing something and then know that I can follow through on it. But over the course of listening to quite a lot of these motivational influencers, I have come to build that mindset within myself. So I wanted to take the time to sort of discuss different perspectives on this term burnout. And while that doesn't necessarily mean keeping your commitments to yourself and follow through and finishing a program that you started it's not that, but it is the concept of
00:20:37
Speaker
getting yourself to a point where you are so exhausted by your workload that you can't anymore. that's That's my conceptualization, my sort of off the shelf definition, if you will, of burnout. And so I Googled some things. First, I Googled burnout. What is burnout? WebMD says burnout is a form of exhaustion caused by constantly feeling swamped. It happens when we experience too much emotional, physical and mental fatigue for too long. OK, so that's pretty close to my off the shelf. What do you think about that? So I'd like you to read the next definition because this kind of has what I'm going to say as far as
00:21:34
Speaker
what I have to feel about burnout and before I give you an answer there. All right. So the second one that Google served up for me was from the world health organization and the world health organization says burnout is a syndrome conceptualized as resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed. Okay. So now Dan, before we get to your opinion, I want to give the, yeah please. Yeah. a hundred A hundred percent, please. Yeah. So I would say, and you know, if you, if you have other people that you would be interested in hearing their thoughts on this,
00:22:16
Speaker
We can dig them up maybe quickly here. I picked Andrew Tate and Andy, Andrew Tate and Andy for Stella as two people, the Andes basically. Yeah. I wanted to. I wanted to see what they had to say about burnout because I subscribe to the mindsets that both of them carry through their thoughts on energy and workload. So Andrew Tate, typical hardliner, this was a very old video that I found on YouTube of him in which he basically said, you either want to work and get shit done or you don't. You either get a task completed or you do not.
00:23:00
Speaker
And so what I took away from that quote in the context of him talking about burnout is that he believes in results over your feelings. So if you feel burnt out, that's that's on you. And if you use that as an excuse to not get things done, then what matters is the fact that you did not get things done. That excuse to him is not valid. So the way he put it was, until you have accomplished the results that you are pursuing, you cannot get burnt out. You can only be lazy. So if you were to say, oh, Andrew Tate, I'm burnt out, he would say, no, that is an excuse, you are being lazy. Yeah, the dude would probably punch you in the face and call you a girl. but Maybe, yeah. Maybe. Then we have Andy Fercella. So this is his quote.
00:23:55
Speaker
I do not want to be poor. I do not want to be fat. I know that putting in the work helps me avoid those things. It is an adult decision to avoid defining yourself as burned out because most days I do not want to do what I know I have to do, but I do it anyways. So Andy for Stella basically there it's saying you have tasks that you committed to doing. And if you are, what's a good, good way to describe this, if you decide that you don't feel like doing it because you are burnt out, that is a childish decision to make, to say that my feelings are dictating what I'm allowing myself to do do as an action today.
00:24:51
Speaker
So that's what Andy Frisella says. So a couple of different slight flavors on the contradiction to the acknowledgement of burnout. So we have syndrome conceptualized as resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed. We have experiencing too much emotional, physical and mental fatigue for too long. So basically prolonged suffering is that part. versus pro prolonged suffering means nothing if you're not able to get things done. You're using it as an excuse. Yeah. So what does Dan think about burnout? I guess for me, reading those definitions, I would have never incorporated stress. I'm putting up air quotes for the listeners.
00:25:46
Speaker
It was like, cause I don't really experience like the sense of giving up or not moving forward because of the stress is making me burnt out or tired of it. The way I guess I viewed burnout when people talk about it is like you just generally get bored with something over a long period of time, but I would have never equated it to stress. Like like for for me, for example, like growing up with school, like high school, I would have attributed burnout to just sheer boredom. Like yeah I felt like I was beyond it. Well, and it's just that you just don't want to be there. Right. Right. I would say that's a good way to describe but
00:26:35
Speaker
that feeling of like, oh, just this, I feel so drained of my ability to care about this. Right. Like, and I just, I would would never have viewed it like this, I guess. I i don't know. my Maybe my, maybe I've never been to that point of burnout where I feel like I'm so stressed and swamped like, like today, like and yesterday, like bad fucking days. but Congrats on getting promoted. Yeah, thank you. yeah Effective yesterday. Yeah, one it it didn't help. There's some personal things going on too, but it's just one of those things where I know to move forward through it in times like that because all it does is help me learn, it helps me
00:27:22
Speaker
be stronger in the workplace and my personal life is that if you, if you stop, it's pretty much what Andrew Tate says. You're just being lazy about it. And you're not getting to the goals that you're setting and Jocko willing, you know, he's, when he talks about burnout, it's about pushing forward to the objective to get to the finish line, to get to where you want to be. And that's how I try and work my way through stress. And I guess burnout. ah I don't know, I would have never have viewed it as it's described by the WHO. So here's another way to think about it is if you find yourself in a place where you are just tolerating shitty conditions and you aren't taking action to work through those shitty conditions and you just sit there every day and let it wear you down,
00:28:18
Speaker
Which is basically like saying, excess emotional, physical, mental fatigue over a long period of time or chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed. I don't know what that's like because I've right i've always tried to manage my shit and not just tolerate it. right I don't tolerate that bullshit when there's something going on. it's yeah I try to drive those results in making change. Now sometimes it you can't and it's out of your control, but you can at least make the attempt.
00:28:55
Speaker
right so i basically i agree i've never been burnt out i don't know what that's supposed to feel like right but i would i didn't i had not thought about what you just said about school that school was this thing where you feel just empty inside right you're going because it is you know it's a waste of time you're doing it to check a box that society wants you to check and it's fucking painful. right And I get that, but that's where, you know, when I got my MBA, I am very fortunate that i was it was during COVID and they shut down campus and that they did virtual classes with optional attendance for the first year. And then in the second year, they did in-person classes, but exempted people who did not geographically
00:29:46
Speaker
uh have compatibility with the school which i wrote a letter saying that i needed to go back to the u.s to continue treatment for a complex dental implant that i was getting which was true that i was in the process of getting a dental implant but here we are three years later and i still do not have that space That's neither here nor there. My point being I had to live in the US s for my second year of my MBA program and so I attended four classes and I got my degree.
00:30:24
Speaker
Yes. So, and I did all the homework and I got, I passed all the classes and I got, you know, did the final exams and all that. But my point being all of that did still feel incredibly draining every time I actually paid attention. But meanwhile, I was building a business that I really cared about. I was moving back to the US, s which I very much cared about. but and And that's just it is when you are Passionate about something and you're striving to build something that you fucking care about. You're never gonna feel burnout ever. Absolutely
00:30:58
Speaker
and And the things, you know speaking, we can both speak to this, is there are plenty of opportunities to be stressed, even when you are working towards something that you are passionate about every single day. I hadn't told you, but I have been i've been sued twice in the last week. ah Yeah, I just saw the the stories on Facebook or Instagram, wherever it was last night. Yeah. So this is going great. yeah And I, I know how to solve those kinds of problems now. yeah Two years ago, it would have been pro prolonged excess stress. Right. Because I didn't have a solution, but the, the stress is an indicator that you need to take action. Right. That is what that stress is. Right. And that's where I was saying like,
00:31:49
Speaker
All it does is help is teach you something because now the next time something comes up and you push through that stress level, you now have the solution. You have the options to figure it out and it's not stressful. Yeah. Like and as you keep going, it gets easier and easier. Right. So you will learn lessons, you will continue to add tools to the tool chest. And the way you do that is if you are working towards something you're passionate about, and you're truly working and taking action and putting in effort, then what you're doing is exposing yourself to risk. And you will come across instances where that risk hits you in the face. yeah And when that risk hits you in the face, you now have the opportunity to solve another problem.
00:32:35
Speaker
that initial hit in the face is going to cause you stress. But over time, you will be able to solve that problem, learn the lesson, and then that kind of thing won't happen at the same level again. But there's another approach that you can take. You can get hit in the face and run away. You can get hit with a lawsuit, you can have a negative conversation, you can have an upset customer, whatever it is, you can get in a fight with your, your uncommitted, you're not married yet, significant other, and you can decide, nope, I'm breaking up with them. Nope. I'm quitting this job. Nope. I don't want to do this anymore. Nope. I don't want to work this hard and run away. And you'll never learn if you do that. And you will come across that sort of stress again.
00:33:27
Speaker
And you'll find yourself in the same damn position with the same level of stress. And you have two options. It's either, or three options. You run away. You solve the problem. Those are the two we just talked about, or you just tolerate the shit. And you see people do this, I see it a lot in relationships. People just tolerate shitty relationships. Oh, it's so bad. I know so way too many people that are doing it. Yeah. And that's probably a situation where you can get burnt out. Oh, but what is it? But in that case, like, what does that burnout even actually look like? That's just your life at that point. Like you can't, oh I'm just burnt out, man. Well, no, you're just tolerating a shitty life and you're not putting any effort into it.
00:34:10
Speaker
that's all that means is you're being a wasteful human being with the tiny amount of time you have on this earth right stop fucking wasting it so here's here's another thing that i will say is people are able to develop different levels of tolerance to stress oh yeah i think that has been my experience with sharing stressful situations with others and seeing how over time but each of us is able to react to similar situations in the future. Right. And I've, I've known people, I've had relationships with people that the, even the tiniest amount of stress and it's complete shut down meltdown, like, nope, not doing it. Even though they've been through stuff before. yeah Oh yeah. Every time. It was like every time.
00:35:07
Speaker
Yeah. It's like, Oh, chill bro. Like, right. And and like um so, you know, that person has a low tolerance level. Right. And okay. That's fine. but You should still, that should be the main thing you work on. that is building up that tolerance by doing, you know, micro dosing stress is basically the way I would put that. Right. And then there are certain ways to respond when you get to that point of shutdown meltdown.
00:35:40
Speaker
Like yesterday, you know, I was, I was wigging the fuck out at seven 30 in the morning, you know, getting the kid ready, dog spooking on the floor, Heather's gone. And I just like first day of, you know, being in my new position. And I knew in that moment, I wasn't going to work in the morning. So to take care of the damn dog. and I started wigging out and Heather's texted me and I'm like, honey. I need to just go do my own thing for a little bit. I'll talk to you later. I have nothing nice to say right now. Love you. Bye. but And that was it. And I ah waited like four hours and I called her. I'm like, Hey, how's it going? like
00:36:20
Speaker
I got through it. Right. Yeah. It's like, I made it through. we ever Nobody died. That's good. The dog dogs. Okay. Yeah. and Yeah. Show you a much better, much better. But yeah, I was just at a point of like, I knew like mentally, I was feeling a little amped up at seven in the morning and I needed to calm down and figured out. Yeah. And I think you will find yourself, I i mean, I love how working a a retail position or, or being on a strict schedule in general, it doesn't have to just be in retail, but when you have to force yourself to behave a certain way, it's quite powerful. Oh yeah. If you have to behave yourself, do good customer service, you know, participate in a meeting, present on a stage when you're not feeling
00:37:12
Speaker
right for whatever reason, stress, sickness, argument you just got out of, sad, you know, maybe somebody just died. All of those things are great reasons to learn how to manage your mind. Right. Because in that moment, what you are being called to do is something that doesn't require those emotions because those emotions are there to either relieve or notify or whatever for you to take action or not to take action if you're grieving there's nothing you should be you nothing you need to do if you're stressed out because your dog is throwing up on the floor maybe you should figure out how to resolve that issue right and and that is a very good
00:37:59
Speaker
trigger, but if you are on a conference call, like this is a weird example, but a closing call from M and&A transaction, if you miss the call, the deal does not close. right Because they need a verbal, we are good, let's do this, all documents signed, send the wires. That's how those calls go. It's it's so cool. It takes 10 minutes. But imagine if you're about to get $500 million when this deal closes and you're burned out. And you can't get out of bed. You're having a meltdown. You can't put the face on to just be on the call and smile. Yeah, it's like, fuck off. You would do it for $500 million. Oh, 100%. There could be nothing that would really help you.
00:38:50
Speaker
But so why can't you do it for the thing that's going to get you closer to that? Right. That's it's not you specifically. But why? Yeah. Yeah. Like for these people who subscribe to WebMD or World Health Organization's definitions on this one, like what the fuck is that's not an excuse. It's not a diagnosable condition. According to them, it is Dr. Google's a rough, rough guy. He always listened to him. Did you assume Google's gender? ah Oh shit, I did, didn't I? It's 2024. Whatever. some sort of a It was the early days of the pride flag with all the Googles, different colors.
00:39:34
Speaker
so so So don't say that you're burned out because that's not a thing. That's our message for today. And it's correctable too. You can get around it. you don't have to shut down, you don't have to melt down. You just have to find all the the poking point where you just need to do a little woo saw and rub your ears like they do in bad boys. and What? hu But yeah I think the the thing that's
00:40:07
Speaker
great to take away from this is the fact that you can build the tolerance to have the sort of instances where you may have said in the past, oh, I'm going to get burnt out from this situation or whatever it is. You can build tolerance to those. And then what you find is that you get it. I got hit with burglary and then two $10,000 bills to pay that I didn't think I needed to pay. within ah in in two weeks. And within two weeks, I had spent 50 grand on shit that I didn't want to spend money on.
00:40:48
Speaker
So, you know, I'm early stages in business. So I, next time this kind of shit happens, it'll be 500 grand. right But, but hey, you know, that kind of an issue is so not a big deal for me nowadays. And I'm very grateful for that because the way I got there is because I've dealt with stressful shit in the past and I've gotten through it. And I realized that you can, if you just keep, keep taking the necessary steps, that's all it takes. Right. So yeah, anything else, Dan? I think that's all we got for today. I just think it's BS. I can't wait for my $500,000 problem to be an SLS Black Series. That's what it should be. It's going to be it's gonna be my $600,000 problem in two days, I'm sure.
00:41:41
Speaker
If you're only off by 50 grand at this level, you're going to be okay. ah Right. Yeah. Uh, this one I think is a lot to be safe. Watch it be my million dollar problem. Then you'll, I mean, you'll still only be off by 50%. No, I don't, I don't think those are million dollar cars yet, but they will be someday. Yeah. They're pretty cool. All right. I guess that's all we got for today. So thank you all for listening. This has been a ruined day and until next time, stay.
