I wanted to record this episode for all of my online supporters out there that are in the phase of believing they're doing everything by the book. Applying all of the strategies right. Creating content consistently, but still not hitting the maybe the income goal or the, onboarding of clients that they want every single month. And it comes down.
00:00:24:12 - 00:00:49:00
Unknown
Now they realize this after years of doing this online, that it all comes down to your confidence and energy in everything you do. And I want to for once, share my journey because sometimes it's just nice to hear all of the things that, everybody's saying. Believe in yourself for your passion, all that stuff. But what does it really mean?
00:00:49:02 - 00:01:08:19
Unknown
So I don't honestly, I don't know what that means, but what I can do, I can share with you what my journey has been. So maybe I can inspire you to understand that nobody's perfect. And the reason? Way to gain confidence and hopefully inspire you to do the same. Or maybe looking back and gain the confidence in something they've you already done.
00:01:08:21 - 00:01:10:16
Unknown
But taking for granted.
00:01:10:16 - 00:01:14:19
Unknown
Hi friend. This is Iacopo and Alessia.
00:01:14:19 - 00:01:31:23
Unknown
And
00:01:31:23 - 00:01:57:12
Unknown
For me, everything started with video games. I remember going to the newspaper shop every single week, finding new things about video games, and one day I bought this magazine. The magazine had a next wing from Star Wars, was made in 3D, and that was the first time I saw anything done in 3D that looked completely different and new and futuristic.
00:01:57:14 - 00:02:22:24
Unknown
And that's when I first realized I must have been 15 years old at the time. This is how old I am. And I realized, oh my God, somebody actually made this. So I remember going back home with my personal computer using Microsoft Paint, trying to paint a picture that was similar to this incredible masterpiece that I saw in the magazine.
00:02:23:01 - 00:02:58:05
Unknown
And I realized that's impossible. How could they be so precise to hit every pixel with the right color? There must be a better way. So for the next few years, I dedicated my life to learning that skill. How to create things in 3D. Why? Because Pixar make Toy Story. And I remember going to the theater and being completely blown away by how touching the story was, how beautiful the picture looked, and and immediately thought somebody made this.
00:02:58:07 - 00:03:22:00
Unknown
It is possible somebody is literally working on making this. So if somebody is doing that, I can do that too. I remember having a family dinner once and I shared the news and I said, guys, I want you to be my witnesses about this thing that I want to do. I want to go and work for people that made Toy Story.
00:03:22:02 - 00:03:40:19
Unknown
And everybody laughed. Everybody said, yeah, yeah, whatever. We'll see. We'll see in a couple of years what you will do. But because that's not normal, that's it's like saying I'm going to become an astronaut. Like only few people do it or I want to become a rock star. For me, that's how big it was. But I had incredible conviction.
00:03:40:20 - 00:03:58:18
Unknown
And it's beautiful when you are 15 because you would believe you could do anything in life. And that was one of the greatest gifts I had. But surely I wasn't showing anything else I was doing my life. I was certain I would have hit that goal, but unfortunately, life was giving me lemons all the time. Because I was an introvert.
00:03:58:18 - 00:04:18:24
Unknown
I didn't know how to talk to people. I was constantly in front of a TV, video game or computer was such a nerd. I hated school, it gave me so much anxiety about the tests, the things that I had to study that I couldn't care less about studying them. So I didn't do any of that. Then when I graduated, the nightmare ended.
00:04:19:01 - 00:04:39:13
Unknown
As soon as I got out of school, I was desperate, trying to find a job that was as close as possible to what I wanted to do in the future. Working in the cinema for movies. Until one day I found the studio of architects. They needed somebody to do 3D renders. Brilliant 3D. I get to do 3D. Of course, they were not going to pay me very much.
00:04:39:13 - 00:05:03:22
Unknown
I was think making €300 a month. That was it. But because I was staying with my parents, I didn't have any expenses and it was fine. So my parents would shut up about me finding a job, a normal job, and I would get some money to learn what I wanted to do in the future. And I think I stayed there for almost 2 or 3 years.
00:05:03:24 - 00:05:31:21
Unknown
I was in skills learning how to deal with clients that had modification and shading changes on the work, and I was learning the new software that were coming out constantly, trying to find new ways of making it better and better and better work. Until one day I discovered forums on the internet. This is how old I am. So I started posting on this forum and all of the 3D peers that were looking like me for other peers in the industry.
00:05:32:14 - 00:05:51:04
Unknown
I discovered this. Many of them were in Italy and actually working in 3D companies. So one day I sent my portfolio to this friend that I found on the forum. They said, I really like what you're doing. He told me, maybe, maybe I can just show your portfolio to our boss and see what they say. So I did.
00:05:51:04 - 00:06:12:14
Unknown
This was a company in Milan at the time. They were creating video games for PlayStation two. These are all dying, and I didn't really want to get there because I wanted to work in movies. But again, it was coming from hating school, working for architects into gaming, and then eventually it would have been something else. Who knows? Let's say yes to that as well.
00:06:12:16 - 00:06:39:01
Unknown
My portfolio hit the jackpot. They said, we love what you're doing. Come for an interview. So I pick up the train and do four hours train to get to Milan. And I have my interview. It was to me, a completely different universe. I still remember the smell of the carpet as soon as I stepped into that studio. It was like a terrible series of cubicles, but with posters of video games and 3D stuff all over the walls.
00:06:39:03 - 00:07:05:18
Unknown
I remember feeling how stuffy the place was because it was full of people spending hours and hours in front of the computer, eating snacks and talk about video games and whatever. And I thought, this is a Paradise. This is exactly what I wanted to do. And they're going to pay me for that. Amazing. I smashed the interview after the first interview with the CG supervisor down there.
00:07:05:20 - 00:07:26:15
Unknown
I had to speak with the president of the company to talk about the money, and honestly, I didn't know what a 3D artist in a computer graphics company would earn, but I knew that I had to move city. I needed to afford rent, so I had a minimum salary that I had in mind that could not be lower than that.
00:07:26:17 - 00:07:51:22
Unknown
So the president asked me, okay, so how much money do you want? They told me, you're good. Very flattered to hear that. So I said, I need at least €1,300 net every single month. Otherwise, I could physically not move here and work for you. And he said sure. Do you want anything? And I was like, no. So we shook hands.
00:07:51:22 - 00:08:16:02
Unknown
I signed the contract and I was hired. Had to start in three weeks. Amazing. Then what I realized after I moved and everything was settled, that half of the 3D team was there in an internship. It was a paid internship, and they were making half of what I was making. But they were there for way longer. They had more experience as well.
00:08:16:03 - 00:08:38:17
Unknown
They had more skills. But because they didn't even think about asking more, they got half of what I was getting. Now, for me, I wasn't like cocky or confident to ask something. For me, it was a legitimate ask. Like, I don't know if I can live in Milan with the lifestyle costs and everything of renting a house and buying groceries and all of that.
00:08:38:19 - 00:09:02:01
Unknown
I literally need that money to move here. Just it was a minimum requirement. That minimum requirement made me look so confident. When I asked for the money that they didn't even blink. So that for me, what was my first lesson like? Your bare minimum. What you are not allowed to tolerate, you will never tolerate. You get at least the minimum that you can tolerate.
00:09:02:01 - 00:09:34:16
Unknown
That was the first time in my life that the universe sent me that message, and I treasured it. During the next year, I become friends with incredible artists, especially the head of the team and he was so impressed with what I was doing during the time together, and I was incredibly impressed by his personal work. He used to create CG movies like CG shorts in his spare time, and he was an incredible director as well.
00:09:34:16 - 00:09:54:14
Unknown
And one day he asked me, could you give me a hand with this new project that I've got? It's called Cold Guardian, and I've got a humanoid character that I would like help to. Can you help? And I went absolutely. And mind you, this is not a paid job. I don't have an agenda with this. I'm just naturally want to help because I admire the guy.
00:09:54:15 - 00:10:17:06
Unknown
So I said, let's go for it. Let's do it. Now, probably it took us about 6 to 8 months to work on it. During the six and seven months I felt like quitting and giving up. Many times I started saying, why do I have to do this? Is they not even paying me? I need to work extra in my spare time.
00:10:17:08 - 00:10:36:01
Unknown
Why am I doing this is hard. It's really hard. But what I didn't know I was using a cutting edge software to do all of these new things. So I was learning. I was stuck in scale. I was getting more confident that I could deliver what I was asked. I was learning teamwork because we had to collaborate on many things.
00:10:36:01 - 00:10:57:00
Unknown
I had no idea I was doing all of that. I wasn't getting paid, but I was learning so much and that was what kept me going. This is the crazy thing that happened afterwards. When we finished with the movie, the short, I should say I felt very relieved that we finished everything. I felt very proud of myself. Happy for my friend Marco.
00:10:58:00 - 00:11:20:22
Unknown
to have a complete product done together, I could have my name in the credits and all of that amazing. So he puts the video on his website. He didn't put it on YouTube for whatever reason. What happens is somebody else took the video from his website and put it on YouTube. And this is something crazy that happened a couple of months after that,
00:11:20:22 - 00:12:07:09
Unknown
And I
00:12:07:09 - 00:12:14:06
Unknown
I moved company to work more for TV, so I was doing commercial no more, video games.
00:12:14:06 - 00:12:36:05
Unknown
So I was closer again to the Toy Story dream. learning even more skills and getting paid a bit more than before. Marco called me up, out of the blue one day and said, you will never believe who contacted me. I'm like, what? What is the fuss about? Peter Jackson contacted me via email. He sent me an email.
00:12:36:05 - 00:12:59:02
Unknown
I'm like, yeah, whatever, dude. Thanks for wasting my time. And I hang up. He calls me back up and says, hey, I'm not joking. I'm not kidding. He's calling from an office like the Weta Digital email. He's telling me that he saw the movie, the short movie that we did, and he's a fan of our work. I'm like, what?
00:12:59:04 - 00:13:21:06
Unknown
Peter Jackson saw our short movie. Are you kidding? Yeah, not only that, he said he's a fan of me and my team and is proposing we go and work for him for this secret project that it is he's working on. I remember feeling like winning the lottery. This is something that doesn't happen to everyone, like it doesn't happen at all.
00:13:21:08 - 00:13:40:20
Unknown
And that made me think about the time that I wanted to give up. I wanted to not be part of this. Can you imagine what a loss would have been for my life after the initial email? We really understood that that was real because he invited us for a meeting in London. He was going to pay for the flights, the taxi and lunch.
00:13:40:21 - 00:14:02:17
Unknown
Apparently we were having lunch with Peter Jackson and the Soho Hotel in London, and I was like, this is not real. This is really no idea what is happening. This is crazy. And remember, at the time I didn't speak a word of English. It was really bad at English, but we went to London anyway. I remember it was three of us.
00:14:02:18 - 00:14:29:12
Unknown
The main artists that work on the worked on the short movie because he wanted to make Mark meet Marco, the director, and his core team. Apparently I was part of the core team, which was cool. So we arrived at the Soho Hotel and we sit down at the table and we see Peter Jackson coming towards us, and the only thing that I remember is noise, because I must have had to face like that all the time.
00:14:29:14 - 00:14:53:01
Unknown
It wasn't real. I could not understand exactly what they were saying. I just got the gist of the whole conversation. Marco was way more prolific with English than me at the time, so he did all of the talking. Not most of the talking, all the talking. halfway through the brunch, I don't even remember what I ate. I was so not hungry because I was super excited.
00:14:53:03 - 00:15:14:02
Unknown
Peter Jackson himself said, guys, it's very exciting what we can do together. Would you mind coming up to my suite so I can show you the artworks of what I'm working on, and you can see firsthand what the kind of work is going to be. I'm like, is he asking us to go up to his room and review the secret project is working on?
00:15:14:04 - 00:15:35:19
Unknown
This is insane. So we take the elevator up to his suite. It must have been an entire apartment. It feel. It felt like three apartments put together that how many rooms he had? He had people working on the side, producers, coordinators going around the cables. They were filming and they were reviewing things. Never saw an operation like that, especially on the move.
00:15:35:21 - 00:16:02:17
Unknown
He's from New Zealand. This guy came to London. It's working like that. I was completely blown away, but everybody were incredibly nice. We sit down on this couch and Peter Jackson gave us this huge art books with pages that must have been like this tall. And they were full of incredible artworks. And at the time, now I can say it because the movie has been released a long time ago.
00:16:02:19 - 00:16:28:21
Unknown
They were exclusive artworks from 1010, the CG movie. They went to the cinema and everything. He was trying to build a team to create the movie before the movie was produced. He needed a way to quickly, creatively create sequences that he could see and edit, put together and see if the movie was actually working before spending millions, we productions and actual 3D production.
00:16:28:21 - 00:16:53:01
Unknown
Now, we said, this is 1010 and the production is almost done with it. But what I want you guys to work on a different project, which I haven't even started yet. I only have two artworks, but for somehow I'm not happy with them. I would like you to have your take on it. I'm like, Is Peter Jackson asking us to come up with ideas for his new secret movie?
00:16:53:03 - 00:17:29:15
Unknown
This is not happening. But yes, it was definitely happening. But long story short, after that meeting we come back to Italy completely on the blown away. It took us months to shake off the excitement and come down to earth, but we didn't have to come down to earth because before we knew it, we had full on contracts. Visa signed off to go to New Zealand, and six months afterwards we were legitimately working for Peter Jackson in Wellington, New Zealand, as their private secret team for this new secret project.
00:17:29:17 - 00:17:49:16
Unknown
The project was called Mortal Engines, which again is being released in the cinema a few years ago. The story that I wanted to tell you is when I arrived there. As you can imagine, I was 23 years old at the time, and everything that I told you led to this specific story that I'm going to tell you right now.
00:17:49:18 - 00:18:15:23
Unknown
I wasn't confident at all. I was literally crapping my pants all the way through the arrival in New Zealand. I felt like an imposter. Marco, my friend and director of the show movie that led us to that point, was way more experienced than me. Had a natural talent on, on on how to put together a movie. He I always admired him for that.
00:18:15:23 - 00:18:41:14
Unknown
He's a great storyteller and I never felt I was good in any of that. I was only a good technician which said which said yes to many opportunities that led to this moment. But at the end of the day, I felt like I don't belong here. This is this is for this for others. It's not for me. I remember the anxiety for the first week of being in New Zealand.
00:18:41:16 - 00:19:01:14
Unknown
They paid for the flight, the relocation. They paid for a hotel full on a hotel for two weeks. They rented us a car. They even went to the bank and deposit money for us and told the director what to do with our account. They found us a house to live in. They did everything for us and I felt like I wasn't worth it.
00:19:01:16 - 00:19:28:07
Unknown
I felt like this is going to backfire big time. When we arrived, there and actually working, we are in the training, so we are learning the software, we are learning the pipeline, the it was a mixed feeling of excitement and being terrified by anything we were going to do, because we weren't working on anything yet. We were just preparing to fit in and start working.
00:19:28:07 - 00:19:50:15
Unknown
Eventually. But because we were eager, eager to prove ourselves, eager to prove ourselves. Yes, we are here for a reason. We're not here because we've been lucky. We won the lottery, which, by the way, was what everybody else were thinking. Now we know we called production and said, I know that the training is for three weeks, but after a week we feel like we can start working on something.
00:19:50:15 - 00:20:16:18
Unknown
Can you give us something to work on? They said, great. Yeah, you can be in the next meeting with Peter Jackson in the production. There's going to be with a workshop as well, with all the artworks and discussions about this new concept for this new movie. You should join us. And I'm like, oh my God, are we going to a meeting with the people that are actually working that have worked on Lord of the rings, that designed all the armors and the characters?
00:20:16:18 - 00:20:39:08
Unknown
This is insane. I was like this fanboy completely crapping my pants. I was buying pens constantly because if I couldn't clean them quickly enough, we go to this meeting and there's Peter Jackson there in the middle of the room, this big long table, everybody sitting like like that with their back against the wall, like they were going to be executed at any time.
00:20:39:10 - 00:21:07:12
Unknown
But he was just a nice guy, really. Peter Jackson was really nice and shy, sort of soft spoken guy. he started the meeting with, introducing us to the rest of the team. They were looking at us like, who are these guys? and I felt a little bit of pressure there. Everybody did. But we started reviewing this huge, art books, same as the ones that we saw in London.
00:21:07:14 - 00:21:38:22
Unknown
But about this new project. And I remember being completely blown away by this amazing artworks. There were mainly painted by hand, so 2D artworks to define the concept of this series on wheels. That was the point of the movie Mortal Engines is a story about spoiler alert, a post-apocalyptic, world where cities are not stationary anymore. They are wheels, and they eat each other up for parts and spare parts and supplies and all of that kind of stuff.
00:21:38:24 - 00:22:04:17
Unknown
That's all I'm going to say about it. But we didn't have the design of the cities at the time. The main cities were London. They were Berlin, they were. They had to be characterized in a specific way. So the meeting, the one of those initial meetings, what about what about that? The terrifying thing was that while Peter Jackson was flicking through this incredibly beautiful artworks, he was not even flinching.
00:22:04:19 - 00:22:30:05
Unknown
He was going through the art world like that. Yep yep yep yep. I'm like, is he not impressed about this? They are all amazing. Like how how is it not commenting or anything? So after reviewing all of that, he turned around to us and said, guys, this is all great stuff, but I'd like you to have a completely fresh approach to it.
00:22:30:05 - 00:22:57:11
Unknown
Why don't you come on a meeting for like, you know, in three way in three days, 3 or 4 days and show us something that, you know, it's a completely new approach. And, don't be influenced by this, do do you? I'm like, do you? Oh my God. yeah. So I needed a pair of pants again because I dirtied the one that I had before.
00:22:57:13 - 00:23:16:21
Unknown
We had a private meeting with the team. guys, what are we doing? This stuff was amazing. How do we. How do we even come up with something better? And that was the moment where what I realized that's. That's when I'm screwed. There is no way I can come up with something because my beliefs until that point was that I was not a creative person.
00:23:16:23 - 00:23:35:15
Unknown
I don't know, I can improve things. If you give me the draft, I can improve it. I can make it 3D. If it's 2D, I can do all the technical stuff, but I cannot create new things from nothing. This was my belief and I didn't tell it to anyone. I was alone, I felt alone, I couldn't tell this.
00:23:35:15 - 00:23:56:12
Unknown
I felt like an imposter. I remember we come back to our desk and Marco, which was the team leader, said, guys, you heard the man. We're going to create something completely fresh and you, we're going to do it our way. I was thinking this. I was thinking that. So we exchanged some ideas and I pick the City of London.
00:23:56:13 - 00:24:18:07
Unknown
I think we we all picked the City of London to come up with a new design. And Marco said, I'm going to use the Star Wars influence. So I'm going to create something like the, the Star Destroyer or something like that, because he was a big Star Wars fan and I thought, that's a great idea. I wish I had it and I had no ideas whatsoever.
00:24:18:07 - 00:24:46:02
Unknown
So I remember the first day, remember three days to go, the first morning of the first day, I spent it in front of a notepad, white notepad, and a blank page. I could not come up with anything for the love of me, and I really felt they're going to fire me. I'm going to go back home. I was in complete blank page syndrome for the whole morning, and I thought, I'm never going to get out of this.
00:24:46:02 - 00:25:13:18
Unknown
This is going to be the end of my career. That's it. It's over. You know, when you are really with your back on the wall, your brain, your scarcity mindset, is that the loudest? And that's the breaking point for you. For me, it was I had two choices, either crumble and run away, say sorry, I'm defeated, or do something, anything.
00:25:13:20 - 00:25:35:16
Unknown
And that feeling of saying, you know what? I'm just going to forget about the fact that I'm imposter, that I cannot creating anything new. And I just want to go and try and give it a go. So in a way, I felt I felt like a shift in my whole energy, in my home way of thinking. And I said, forget about all of this.
00:25:35:18 - 00:25:57:10
Unknown
Think about the end result. What are you trying to do? So you brain, when you when you start shifting from I'm never going to do it to let's do it. It's as simple as that. Your brain starts changing, you almost can feel the energy changing and your brain starts working because it's not closed anymore. It doesn't believe that there is no way out.
00:25:57:13 - 00:26:32:06
Unknown
It starts looking for way in. And I remember thinking, okay, London, what is London? London is the main character of this movie. So it's the, the villain. So it's bad negative energy. What is negative? What is intimidating? And I started letting my hand drawn the notepad without any sense. Like, I never do this kind of stuff. I'm always logical, structured, and I and I was letting myself do things and I started thinking, okay, police guys, why do police guys have this hat, this helmets that cover the eyes?
00:26:32:06 - 00:26:55:16
Unknown
Because it's intimidating. What kind of shape does it have? It's a kind of like a triangle. Very sharp angle. So sharp. And triangle is intimidating. So I started creating triangles. That was the overall silhouette of the face of London. Then. And then how does it grab others, grab other cities. Does it have conveyor belts? Does it have hooks?
00:26:55:16 - 00:27:23:16
Unknown
Does it have hands? What is the natural icon of grabbing your hand? So why don't I put hands beside this triangular face? Right? I was letting my brain come up with something that was completely wacky, and I came up with this weird triangular shaped face with removable fingers. Pointy fingers that would grab the key and bring it into the mouth.
00:27:23:18 - 00:27:44:21
Unknown
Then, because I was on a roll, I was thinking, hey, I'm Italian, I can grab from my own heritage. What did I do back in the days? There is the Colosseum. That's the most gruesome show you can have. If it's a, City of Villains, they may enjoy this hunt. Why don't they have a Colosseum inside the mouth?
00:27:44:21 - 00:28:06:11
Unknown
So I started creating the interior of the mouth like a Colosseum, where the city would get in and all of the people of the city could see the hunt and cheer for the new city to be eaten and converted to their own philosophy and culture. We came up with this beautiful new ideas in just three days. All of us, we come up with completely fresh ideas.
00:28:06:11 - 00:28:28:20

I'm just telling you about what I did and I felt like I was blossoming. I felt like shitting my pants. I don't know what Peter Jackson's going to think of this. And also, oh my God, I didn't know I had this in me kind of feeling. So the third day we are ready. We have three versions each. I don't even remember what my third one was.

So we presented with submitted to dailies. This is how it's called and we go to the meeting. I remember shaking all the way to the building, the building of the meeting. Usually the reviews are done in a very dark environment, so that there is a projector and everybody's sitting down and we're waiting for comments from Peter Jackson. And I remember Weta Workshop started their presentation with their beautiful, incredible artworks that I was incredibly inspired by.

And I thought, we're never going to top this up. This is amazing. So beautiful. Then our staff came in, okay, this is the work from this new team. This is Marco. This is Jacobo. This is, Jan. Pietro. And I remember Peter Jackson saying nothing at all until the end of the presentation, and the light went back on.

I was there was like when time stopped for me and Peter Jackson said, guys, what you've done is incredible. I love it. Amazing. So I want you to do more of that. Please come back next week with more. This was incredibly refreshing. Thank you so much for this. This is brilliant. Thank you so much. And I think I have lost ten years of my life in that moment, that moment of recognition, I had all the people from production, other supervisor, from other departments looking at us like, wow, I didn't think you guys had it in you.

I thought you were just like, a fancy new toy from Peter Jackson that found on the internet. But you really know your stuff. We didn't know we knew our stuff. It was just us with the back against the wall. Faced with an incredibly difficult task and isolating our creative side to take over and deliver the best we could, this was probably one of the highlights of my life, because I had the confirmation that I was worth being with them.

I was worth being with the best in the world in the cinema world. The reason why I told you this story is not to brag about how good I am. It's because I wanted to share how freaked out and believing I wasn't worth it. I was the whole way there, but the only thing that changed was saying yes.

Something yes was useful to find myself in an uncomfortable, terrifying situation that usually people want to avoid. But when you are there, you really face the fire. First, you realize that the fire is not a fire at all. It's nothing is just your head playing tricks with you. Second that that fire, you can really if you remove all of that chatter in your head and you go for it, it's not that difficult.

You have it in you. I didn't think I was creative. I came up with the most incredible ideas, especially with teamwork. You can exchange when you are free to receive and give. You are free to share with other people and they can pour into you and you can pour into them. I didn't know I had it in me and the more you do this, the more you say yes to things in life.

Even scary things like asking somebody for $10,000 for a program, it's something scary that makes you grow, but then you figure it out on the way because you know intimately, you know, that you can deliver, otherwise you wouldn't be there. You are always exactly where you need to be because the universe, God, or whatever you believe in puts you there.
00:32:09:09 - 00:32:29:21

And that the universe is going to take care of you if you let it. This is what the main lesson for me was. Let the universe help you. Because I always thought I had to do specific things to get to where I wanted to go. And I had a completely made up story in my mind on how that is going to look like.
00:32:29:23 - 00:32:54:12

Reality is, you have no idea how it's going to look like. The path is not linear and you get there via the most stupid ways. Someday you help a friend out with the short movie. Next day Peter Jackson emails. You say yes, something. Believe in yourself doesn't mean believing in an idea. Just follow your gut. Does it look like it's something that you want to do that sparks joy?

There is going to be fulfilling, is going to make you either earn or learn. Go for it once you are there. Once you are in the process of that, things will unfold and in something that there's no way you can predict along the way. You're going to crap your pants multiple times and this stuff never ends. Like we've what I'm talking about happened 15 years ago, and I've been dealing with crapping in my pants, doing it at in way, learning new skills, proving myself that I'm worth it, next level, next level multiple times.

And this is how I can come here to you on camera and express all of this with the energy the experience gave me. But because I believe you can do it to. You've got that energy in you that if you just let it, it will show you something of you that you didn't know was there. And this applies to your income, to your level of confidence, to the way you think about yourself, the way you dress, the way you present yourself, the way you, present in business meetings with friends.

You've got to love yourself. You've got to know that what you've got inside. It's important for the world as well. And that's the point of my video. I didn't have much of an agenda with this video. I just wanted to share with you one of the important stories I had in my life to inspire you to really embrace your true self.
00:34:21:08 - 00:34:42:22

Your true self is beautiful. If you don't have what you want in life right now might be your income, the level of relationships you want. It's because you don't. You're not letting things that will make you grow in life, and I want you to be aware of that. Or maybe aware of something that you've already done in the past, and now you take for granted.

That's my message for today.
