Transcript

It is absolutely exhausting to be around people that you cannot learn from. And if it's not the same topics, it's the same kind of mindset. It's hateful, or it's always making a snarky remark, or it's about something that doesn't make you money, it doesn't help you think about something of higher intelligence, of higher capacity of knowledge. It's like painful. Like I don't even know how else to describe it. And it's those same people that will be the ones to hate on somebody that's doing something a little bit different, that's against the grain of the normal motion of life that we've been taught for our entire lives. It just doesn't make sense to continue to spend time with people that don't, they don't want to learn. They have no thirst, no quest for knowledge. Mentorship from this point forward is really the only thing that I am chasing. I like, I have to learn. I have to learn. If I can't learn, you can't earn nothing. Like literally nothing.
