Everyone at the table looked at me like an idiot

For the last year and a half, I've been farming some of the most devious, dumbfounded looks I've ever gotten in my entire life, and I'm enjoying every second. I remember one time so vividly, it was me, my friend Brian, his girlfriend, and then my girlfriend. We were all talking at a table, and I was pitching them the idea of the warehouse. I don't know if you guys remember, but we were supposed to get a warehouse before we got the trailer. But I was pitching them this idea that I was gonna live in this warehouse with four other founders and live and breathe and co work with them every single day. And I remember watching them and while I was explaining this, had the biggest smile on my face. As I look around the table, I see a pissed face, a confused face, and an extremely dumbfounded face. And I remember laughing out loud in my head and actually laughed out loud in front of their face because it was something to where I remember feeling so happy excited, and everyone around me looking at me like I was an absolute idiot. And it was the most rewarding feeling ever because I knew right there in that... Because I knew right there in that moment that I was doing something that nobody else would do. I'm making memories and doing... I'm making memories and seeing out opportunities that nobody could even dream of. Nobody at the table could ever dream of. And that's why I have an amazing trailer. That's why I have an amazing cofounder. That's why I'm building the business that I have because I know that I'm putting myself out there and opening myself up to opportunities that nobody could even dream of because nobody at that table was excited as I was. Nobody at that table was seeing the vision that I saw, and I was the only one. I was I was bet. Bet. Bet. Bet. And I was the bet. And I was the only one... Bet. Bet. Bet. Bet. And I was the only one who saw the vision, and I was the only one who was stupid enough to live in a warehouse with four other people, two of which I didn't even know. So... Bet. Yeah. But at the end of the but at the... At the end of day, that's a bet. But at the end of the day, that's what makes this journey so special. It's knowing that I am unlike anyone else. And maybe that's delusional of me. Maybe that's really egotistical of me, but I know that the things that I'm doing, nobody else will ever get to do in their life, and nobody else could even think of doing in their life. And I bet. Bet. And deep down, that makes me happy as hell. So live life. Bet. Bet. So live, laugh, love, boys and girls.
