00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.640
There are elements of shit that I do that I absolutely love,

2
00:00:02.640 --> 00:00:05.680
but there are tons of shit that I do every day that I fucking hate.

3
00:00:05.680 --> 00:00:08.880
I just don't hate it more than I hate the alternative.

4
00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:12.480
Like, there is no feeling I enjoy that makes me more sick

5
00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:14.320
than the idea that I could have done more.

6
00:00:15.920 --> 00:00:18.240
The wealthiest people in the world see business as a game.

7
00:00:18.240 --> 00:00:21.120
This podcast, the game, is my attempt at documenting the lessons I've learned

8
00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:24.240
on my way to building acquisition.com into a billion dollar portfolio.

9
00:00:24.240 --> 00:00:26.080
My hope is that you use the lessons to grow your business

10
00:00:26.080 --> 00:00:28.880
and maybe someday soon partner with us to get $200 million in beyond.

11
00:00:28.880 --> 00:00:30.000
I hope you share and enjoy.

12
00:00:31.520 --> 00:00:36.400
When I was 15, 16, 17, 18 years old, I was a pretty angry kid.

13
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:40.160
And I thought that I had all these issues.

14
00:00:40.160 --> 00:00:42.080
I would tell people I have these issues.

15
00:00:42.080 --> 00:00:43.360
I have anger issues.

16
00:00:43.360 --> 00:00:46.000
I am not a nice person.

17
00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:48.880
I would tell people those things about myself

18
00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:51.360
because I believe those things to be true.

19
00:00:51.360 --> 00:00:53.360
And I saw them as problems.

20
00:00:53.360 --> 00:00:54.880
And then I went to college.

21
00:00:54.880 --> 00:01:00.160
And in college, it's all propaganda of people who are teaching

22
00:01:00.160 --> 00:01:04.480
who've never actually done real work in a real economy ever.

23
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:05.360
They're all tenured.

24
00:01:05.360 --> 00:01:06.800
They don't live in reality.

25
00:01:06.800 --> 00:01:09.040
And they tell everyone they should pursue their purpose

26
00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:11.040
and their passion and the things that they love.

27
00:01:11.440 --> 00:01:13.280
And I ate it up.

28
00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:17.040
And the problem was that I didn't make any progress.

29
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:19.280
And I felt like there was something even more wrong with me

30
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:23.200
because I didn't feel any of that stuff.

31
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:25.120
And so I read all these books on positive psychology.

32
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:26.800
I watched all these TED talks.

33
00:01:26.800 --> 00:01:29.520
And I never felt those feelings.

34
00:01:29.520 --> 00:01:31.440
And so I wasted all this time.

35
00:01:31.440 --> 00:01:34.640
And I wish I could go back and tell myself,

36
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:38.080
dude, all the stuff they're saying is just not true.

37
00:01:38.080 --> 00:01:39.840
Like you don't need any of that.

38
00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:42.480
Like you can embrace the fact that you are angry.

39
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:45.760
You can embrace the fact that you feel like you are in pain.

40
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:48.960
And you can use that to make the life that you want.

41
00:01:48.960 --> 00:01:51.520
You don't have to use the lovey-dovey,

42
00:01:51.520 --> 00:01:55.600
purpose, passion, whatever to build the life that you want to build.

43
00:01:55.600 --> 00:01:57.200
Because if you think about a big picture,

44
00:01:57.200 --> 00:01:59.760
what it does is it tells people that having a negative

45
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:02.720
emotional experience is a bad thing, right?

46
00:02:02.720 --> 00:02:05.280
But half of your life is below average by definition.

47
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:08.720
And so if you are not using the half of your life

48
00:02:08.720 --> 00:02:11.360
as energy or motivation to create the life you want,

49
00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:13.120
then you're at a huge disadvantage.

50
00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:16.240
And to give you an example of this, imagine, for example,

51
00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:20.720
you have this big vision for your life that you want on this side.

52
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:23.680
And on this side, your family gets kidnapped.

53
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:25.760
And if you don't do something, they will kill them all.

54
00:02:26.480 --> 00:02:28.240
Which of those motivates you more right now?

55
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:30.720
Probably the one with your family getting kidnapped.

56
00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:32.320
Now, why is that?

57
00:02:32.880 --> 00:02:36.800
Because it's not trying to harness a lovey-dovey feeling.

58
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:38.880
It's harnessing pain.

59
00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:43.680
And fortunately, unfortunately, there's many people who's like I was

60
00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:46.720
who felt like I had experienced more pain than I had good

61
00:02:46.720 --> 00:02:48.320
at that time of my life.

62
00:02:48.320 --> 00:02:50.400
But I saw it as a disadvantage.

63
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:52.640
I saw it as something that I had to overcome

64
00:02:53.440 --> 00:02:55.600
that I didn't have this big purpose.

65
00:02:55.600 --> 00:02:57.040
I didn't have this thing that I loved.

66
00:02:57.040 --> 00:02:58.640
I didn't have this thing I was passionate about.

67
00:02:59.600 --> 00:03:01.280
And if I could have just skipped all of that

68
00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:06.720
and started the moment I accepted that it was okay to be angry.

69
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:10.480
And what wasn't okay was not doing anything about it.

70
00:03:11.200 --> 00:03:15.760
And so while I procrastinated by trying to find purpose

71
00:03:15.760 --> 00:03:18.320
jumping from thing to thing to thing, trying to find

72
00:03:18.480 --> 00:03:20.960
the thing that really lit my fire, right?

73
00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:23.360
And just accepted that it was totally okay

74
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:25.760
to work my face off and discussed

75
00:03:26.320 --> 00:03:29.280
from my current circumstance and who I was

76
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:32.400
than I would have gotten to where I wanted to go much faster.

77
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:35.360
And so the reason I wanted to make this is because

78
00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:37.280
so many people are believing a lie.

79
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:39.280
They're believing that they have to be happy.

80
00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:40.640
They have to have purpose.

81
00:03:40.640 --> 00:03:43.040
They have to have passion for what they're doing

82
00:03:43.040 --> 00:03:44.800
in order to get out of their situation.

83
00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:47.120
They think that they are poor because they don't have passion.

84
00:03:47.760 --> 00:03:48.880
That is false.

85
00:03:49.760 --> 00:03:52.400
You were poor because you're not doing the activities

86
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:55.600
that make you rich and you can fuel those activities

87
00:03:55.600 --> 00:03:58.160
whatever way you damn well please.

88
00:03:58.720 --> 00:03:59.760
Period.

89
00:03:59.760 --> 00:04:03.360
And so if you are somebody who is more motivated by the dark side

90
00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:07.680
then lean into the dark side because unlike the Star Wars movie

91
00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:10.480
and unlike the saying the road to hell is

92
00:04:10.480 --> 00:04:11.680
is paved with good intentions.

93
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:13.760
The equal opposite of that is the road to heaven

94
00:04:13.760 --> 00:04:15.440
is paved with bad intentions.

95
00:04:15.440 --> 00:04:18.400
You can do good shit with bad motivation.

96
00:04:18.400 --> 00:04:20.320
And when I say bad I mean negative experiences

97
00:04:20.320 --> 00:04:21.600
paying anger, etc.

98
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:22.320
Right?

99
00:04:22.320 --> 00:04:25.440
And so they've already done research on this.

100
00:04:25.440 --> 00:04:27.920
They interviewed the top Olympic medalists

101
00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:30.720
and they found that they don't actually love winning.

102
00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:33.120
They hate losing when they win.

103
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:34.400
They experience relief.

104
00:04:34.400 --> 00:04:35.360
Not euphoria.

105
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:38.400
They think to themselves, thank God I didn't lose.

106
00:04:38.400 --> 00:04:40.720
If you look at Steve Jobs, he wasn't some happy,

107
00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:43.360
go lucky dude who was like, man,

108
00:04:43.440 --> 00:04:45.360
I just want to make the world a better place.

109
00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:48.320
He was a tough dude to work for from all accounts

110
00:04:48.320 --> 00:04:49.760
of everyone who was around him.

111
00:04:49.760 --> 00:04:53.200
But he created something beautiful from that pain, right?

112
00:04:53.200 --> 00:04:55.440
You look at MJ, you look at Kobe.

113
00:04:55.440 --> 00:04:56.320
What do they do?

114
00:04:56.320 --> 00:05:00.160
They had imaginary situations that they created in their minds

115
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:02.960
to create more suffering in their own lives

116
00:05:02.960 --> 00:05:05.120
to motivate them and use as fuel.

117
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:08.400
And so if you are anything like me,

118
00:05:08.400 --> 00:05:11.520
what I have is I have painful experiences in my past

119
00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:13.680
and made up experiences in the future

120
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:15.120
that I don't want to go through.

121
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:18.560
And I use those on speed dial in my head

122
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:20.800
whenever I don't want to do something.

123
00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:22.240
So if I don't want to make this

124
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:24.960
because I don't want to go through the process of scripting,

125
00:05:24.960 --> 00:05:27.840
I am remembering the day or half day

126
00:05:27.840 --> 00:05:30.320
I got in front of the camera and was not prepared

127
00:05:30.320 --> 00:05:31.760
and did not do a good job

128
00:05:31.760 --> 00:05:35.120
and felt embarrassed and stupid for not doing the work.

129
00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:37.840
And when I think about that,

130
00:05:37.840 --> 00:05:40.960
not how much I just want to like love on my audience

131
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:42.560
and how much I want to provide value

132
00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:45.440
as much as I love and wish that that were my motivation

133
00:05:45.440 --> 00:05:47.040
that is not what fuels me.

134
00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:50.320
What fuels me is the feeling I had when I felt stupid

135
00:05:50.320 --> 00:05:53.440
in front of the camera because I didn't prepare,

136
00:05:53.440 --> 00:05:54.800
I didn't do the work.

137
00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:57.600
And so I use that when I'm sitting in front of the computer

138
00:05:57.600 --> 00:05:59.920
and I know I should do it and I don't want to do it,

139
00:05:59.920 --> 00:06:02.320
I use that because that is more painful

140
00:06:02.320 --> 00:06:04.240
than the boring shit I'm about to have to do.

141
00:06:05.840 --> 00:06:07.080
Real quick guys, you guys already know

142
00:06:07.080 --> 00:06:09.040
that I don't run any ads on this

143
00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:10.360
and I don't sell anything.

144
00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:12.120
And so the only ask that I can ever have

145
00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:13.560
are you guys that you help me spread the word

146
00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:15.000
so we can have more entrepreneurs,

147
00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:16.680
make more money, feed their families,

148
00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:19.160
make better products and have better experiences

149
00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:20.680
for their employees and customers.

150
00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:22.920
And the only way we do that is if you can rate

151
00:06:22.920 --> 00:06:25.160
and review and share this podcast.

152
00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:27.640
So the single thing that I have to do is you can just leave review

153
00:06:27.640 --> 00:06:29.640
and take 10 seconds or one type of the thug

154
00:06:29.640 --> 00:06:31.800
that it means the absolute will to me and more importantly,

155
00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:33.400
it may change the world to someone else.

156
00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:40.040
I spent so long trying to get the right motivation,

157
00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:43.800
the right energy to do what I was supposed to do

158
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:47.080
rather than accept the energy that I had overflowing

159
00:06:47.080 --> 00:06:48.520
from me which was pain.

160
00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:51.720
And so if you have pain, it's not a handicap,

161
00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:53.960
it's an advantage if you choose to make it that way

162
00:06:53.960 --> 00:06:56.680
because you can take pain and turn it into something

163
00:06:56.680 --> 00:06:58.200
better over time.

164
00:06:58.200 --> 00:07:00.840
And here's what's interesting is that I still have

165
00:07:00.840 --> 00:07:03.160
tons of motivation from that side,

166
00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:05.400
but it waxes and wanes.

167
00:07:05.400 --> 00:07:07.880
And so there are times that in sequence later,

168
00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:10.760
you do experience those moments where you get tied

169
00:07:10.760 --> 00:07:11.720
to that bigger purpose.

170
00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:13.720
You do experience those moments where you actually love

171
00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:16.280
what you're doing because the thing is this for me

172
00:07:16.280 --> 00:07:18.520
in the beginning, I sucked at everything.

173
00:07:18.520 --> 00:07:21.000
And so I didn't like doing it because I wasn't good at it.

174
00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:23.000
So what I love doing, of course, I suck.

175
00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:24.360
Why are you going to enjoy that?

176
00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:26.360
But the thing is you can use the negative

177
00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:29.160
motivator that you have now to get through the periods

178
00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:32.600
of suck because the pain that you experience sucked more

179
00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:34.200
than the suck that you have in front of you,

180
00:07:34.200 --> 00:07:35.400
the work that must be done.

181
00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:40.440
And so what happens is you can use that negative fuel,

182
00:07:40.440 --> 00:07:43.240
hit it on speed dial every time you're confronted

183
00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:44.520
with that thing that you don't want to do.

184
00:07:44.520 --> 00:07:46.040
You push through it and what happens,

185
00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:48.920
you do that enough times, you start to get good at the thing.

186
00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:52.120
And then you start to experience some joy from your work.

187
00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:55.320
And then you start seeing the result of work

188
00:07:55.320 --> 00:07:57.720
that has compounded and start to see a purpose

189
00:07:57.720 --> 00:07:59.400
or start to see a bigger vision.

190
00:07:59.400 --> 00:08:02.360
The big vision for Alex's life until maybe four years ago

191
00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:04.040
was don't be broke.

192
00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:05.320
That was the big vision for my life.

193
00:08:05.320 --> 00:08:06.920
People were like, what was your mission with Jemma?

194
00:08:06.920 --> 00:08:08.840
My mission was to stop being poor.

195
00:08:08.840 --> 00:08:09.640
That was my mission.

196
00:08:10.680 --> 00:08:14.680
And so now we're in a situation where we have acquired enough skills.

197
00:08:14.680 --> 00:08:16.520
We have gone through enough experiences

198
00:08:16.520 --> 00:08:18.760
that we can provide value and can help other people

199
00:08:18.760 --> 00:08:20.840
not go through that, but it would be a lie.

200
00:08:20.840 --> 00:08:23.000
And I'm telling you right now, if someone tells you,

201
00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:24.680
Alex is really motivated by purpose.

202
00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:27.640
Alex is this big, you know, he loves what he does, and I do.

203
00:08:27.640 --> 00:08:30.280
There are elements of shit that I do that I absolutely love.

204
00:08:30.280 --> 00:08:31.960
But there are tons of shit that I do every day

205
00:08:32.040 --> 00:08:33.320
that I fucking hate.

206
00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:36.840
I just don't hate it more than I hate the alternative,

207
00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:38.200
which is I hate sucking.

208
00:08:38.200 --> 00:08:41.960
I hate hate sucking macro, not at the thing.

209
00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:44.840
Is that I hate knowing that I could have tried harder.

210
00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:48.440
Like there is no feeling I enjoy that makes me more sick

211
00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:50.360
than the idea that I could have done more.

212
00:08:51.720 --> 00:08:54.600
So we have, I'm writing my book right now, right?

213
00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:57.400
I'm on the 11th fucking draft.

214
00:08:57.400 --> 00:08:59.720
All right, and I see people promote their books

215
00:08:59.880 --> 00:09:02.280
with their ghost writers and a big PR company,

216
00:09:02.280 --> 00:09:03.640
and then crush it on the New York Times,

217
00:09:03.640 --> 00:09:05.080
which is completely manufactured

218
00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:06.840
because they paid the right guy to get on the list,

219
00:09:06.840 --> 00:09:08.040
even though the book that I made last year,

220
00:09:08.040 --> 00:09:09.960
sold two times more than half the fucking books

221
00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:10.760
on New York Times.

222
00:09:10.760 --> 00:09:12.680
I know that, it pisses me off.

223
00:09:12.680 --> 00:09:14.320
But you know what pisses me off more?

224
00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:16.920
The idea that the next book that I launched people say,

225
00:09:16.920 --> 00:09:19.440
you know what, I liked his first book a little better.

226
00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:21.120
And so I keep reliving that experience

227
00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:22.720
that I make up in my mind,

228
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:25.200
because I don't want to write a seventh draft.

229
00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:26.720
I don't want to write an 11th draft

230
00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:28.400
I'm like, this should be good enough.

231
00:09:28.400 --> 00:09:31.880
But the pain of the idea of that book not doing well,

232
00:09:31.880 --> 00:09:34.080
or that book leading to people being like,

233
00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:35.800
I don't think he tried his hard.

234
00:09:35.800 --> 00:09:38.320
That is the thing that hurts so much more

235
00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:40.920
than going from the top yet again

236
00:09:40.920 --> 00:09:43.240
to make another video, to make another article,

237
00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:44.280
to make another short,

238
00:09:44.280 --> 00:09:47.040
to make another fucking chapter revision yet again,

239
00:09:47.040 --> 00:09:49.480
to make it better so that when I do launch it,

240
00:09:49.480 --> 00:09:53.040
I think to myself, I literally exhausted every option on this.

241
00:09:53.040 --> 00:09:55.880
If I were to do more to it, I would be breaking it.

242
00:09:55.880 --> 00:09:57.680
And that's where I try to get to.

243
00:09:57.760 --> 00:10:00.560
And is the third time I'm filming this?

244
00:10:00.560 --> 00:10:03.280
And it's because the first two times was not good enough.

245
00:10:03.280 --> 00:10:06.440
And I got really pissed off, as you can see,

246
00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:07.920
that I didn't want to do this again,

247
00:10:07.920 --> 00:10:10.560
but one of the sayings that I live by

248
00:10:10.560 --> 00:10:12.400
is that I will not do my best,

249
00:10:12.400 --> 00:10:14.440
I will do what is required.

250
00:10:14.440 --> 00:10:16.160
And the difference between what your best is

251
00:10:16.160 --> 00:10:18.040
and what is required is the difference between

252
00:10:18.040 --> 00:10:20.080
what you think your real best is,

253
00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:21.520
and what your actual best is,

254
00:10:21.520 --> 00:10:23.960
and there's a fucking ocean between those things.

255
00:10:23.960 --> 00:10:25.240
And what your actual best is,

256
00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:27.240
is the thing that you would do to prevent everyone

257
00:10:27.320 --> 00:10:28.800
from what you know from dying.

258
00:10:28.800 --> 00:10:30.480
And maybe if that motivates you,

259
00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:32.080
maybe it's you not dying.

260
00:10:32.080 --> 00:10:33.760
Whatever the bigger motivator is for you,

261
00:10:33.760 --> 00:10:36.200
whatever the discrepancy what you're doing today

262
00:10:36.200 --> 00:10:39.440
and what you would be doing, whatever fuel you use,

263
00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:43.360
the point of this is that whatever fuel you need to use

264
00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:47.960
to go from what you're doing now to your actual best, use it.

265
00:10:47.960 --> 00:10:51.040
Because the road to hell is not paved with good intentions.

266
00:10:51.040 --> 00:10:53.120
What people care about is the outcome.

267
00:10:53.120 --> 00:10:55.320
People care about what you put out in the world.

268
00:10:55.320 --> 00:10:56.680
Now, why you do it?

269
00:10:56.680 --> 00:10:59.720
What fuels you is purely internal to you.

270
00:10:59.720 --> 00:11:01.040
That's your business.

271
00:11:01.040 --> 00:11:03.080
And so I kept trying to get permission

272
00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:05.800
or I wanted support for the idea

273
00:11:05.800 --> 00:11:07.600
that I had to love everything,

274
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:09.120
that everything had to be sunshine and rainbows,

275
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:10.400
that I had to be all happy all the time.

276
00:11:10.400 --> 00:11:11.440
If I wasn't happy all the time,

277
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:13.720
the work was bad.

278
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:15.400
And I should just keep changing the work I'm doing.

279
00:11:15.400 --> 00:11:16.600
I should hop from thing to thing to thing

280
00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:18.440
until I found something that I was really passionate about.

281
00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:20.000
Why sub did everything?

282
00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:20.920
So I wasn't passionate about anything

283
00:11:20.920 --> 00:11:22.720
because I wasn't good at any of it.

284
00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:24.880
So the thing that got me through it

285
00:11:24.880 --> 00:11:27.440
was realizing that I hated my current circumstance

286
00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:29.200
and I hated the idea of my dad being right.

287
00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:30.840
And I hated the idea of people saying,

288
00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:32.040
I can't believe he quit his job

289
00:11:32.040 --> 00:11:34.640
to do some stupid thing and not win.

290
00:11:34.640 --> 00:11:37.520
I hated that far more than having another person tell me

291
00:11:37.520 --> 00:11:38.520
that they were gonna think about it

292
00:11:38.520 --> 00:11:39.720
and not give me their credit card.

293
00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:42.200
I hated that a lot more than wake up at 4 a.m.

294
00:11:42.200 --> 00:11:44.440
100 nights in a fucking row to get up

295
00:11:44.440 --> 00:11:45.720
when I didn't want to.

296
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:49.360
But the idea of failing was so much more painful for me

297
00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:51.600
that I was able to embrace the suck faster.
