“There are a lot of people who believe that you should never get a royalty, that you should get an advance that is so beyond what your book is going to earn out. I think that is really detrimental to the business as a whole. I’m very interested in the health of the industry, so I don’t want an amount of money that I’m not gonna pay back, but I also want a higher royalty rate. So what I do is something called profit share, which means I don’t take any money up front, but I get 50% of my royalties after expenses.” 19:20

“When we originally tasted the beer, it was really not good. It was really, really bad and I basically said ‘You should look into this, this, and this.’ And that’s exactly what they did. They pretty much went right into the deep dive of basically becoming the equivalent of a full on beer dealcoholizer.'' 24:48

“This isn’t something that I was forced into and it really has been a passion of mine, and I think that’s the key to finding acceptance in the rejection. If you really want something, you’re going to have rejection no matter what aspect of life you’re living and what career you have, there’s going to be rejection, and you have to just say ‘OK, that’s part of it. That’s part of the territory, it comes along with the job.’” 10:12

“That’s kind of the precipice of what I’d like to do as I get older and move into life is help people connect, whether it’s at a corporation, or if it’s just in life, so I really enjoyed being the, not the boss, but more almost like the older brother or the dad that could come in and be like ‘Sit down guys, let’s have a talk. Let’s work through our problems.’ I don’t think a lot of people do that. I think a lot of people avoid their problems and the last thing they wanna do is sit down and try to face them.” 11:02

“It’s very difficult because you have to try to do as much as you possibly can in that first year to really set yourself up for the following year because every year there’s a new personality. There’s people that are always supporting you and always there for you, but there’s a new personality. That’s a fresher face, that’s a newer face that plays the game, and so it’s tough to continue that because my business ultimately is myself. I’m my own business. So you have to be able to adjust and find ways to still connect with people, grow your brand, grow your business, and be able to create monetization through that.” 17:56

“My definition of a frugal athlete is someone that’s efficient. Someone that understands how to leverage their resources, their capital, their experiences, their network, and their opportunities to build on that. In this case, their financial pyramid, their financial stability, their overall career goals, and their personal ecosystem. So when I think of frugal, I think of someone that’s efficient, I think of someone who’s able to leverage what they have and someone that’s economical and prudent rather than someone that’s cheap.” 24:47

And was it a windy road? Was it a straight line? Was it the journey they expected? I think letting everybody share their story is pretty important.” 29:50
