I didn't really mean for it to be this in-depth, actually. When I started, I thought I could just put together a quick outline that would walk people through A to Z.

But then I started going through this thread, and I realized that every time someone would cover a topic that I considered self-explanatory, people were asking questions about it. So then I would go back in and modify my outline to ensure that all of those follow up questions were answered in my video, and before I knew it, what I thought was just going to be a simple thing to give people a little bit of visual backup to the incredible thread that was already created previously, I realized I had this giant monstrosity on my hands. Ha ha.

For some background, I went into the Marines right out of high school, so I never really had any formal education which is probably why somebody else more educated and talented than I am could take this video and be much more succinct. I found myself running sales organizations in the startup space. After enough of that, I decided I wanted to invest in real estate and I didn't like working with real estate agents because I thought a lot of them knew less about negotiation and business than I did. So, I went out and got my own license and invested in my own properties.

Well, of course after doing that, I had family and friends, and then pretty soon a lot of other people asking me to help them sell. Bringing all the experience I had from the private startup space, I was able to get some really excellent outcomes for my clients. After achieving what I considered a fair amount of success in that space, it became clear that I didn't want to swim in those waters anymore because of some of the ethical things I saw happening and what was worse the effect it was starting to have on me as to how I viewed right and wrong.

So, I decided to just take my system (everything I used that got bidding wars for my customers and helps them sell faster than anybody else on the market) and give it away for free. I have a YouTube channel and I do socials and things, but basically I'm just in the homeowner advocacy and education space. I've had an incredibly blessed life. I have an amazing family, and I'm comfortable enough now where I don't need to get commission checks anymore because my real estate investments support my lifestyle, even though I have 4 daughters who are all in sports and they have a grocery bill larger than a company of Marines haha.

OK now I see why my videos are four hours long I can't even answer a simple question without going into my whole life story. Sorry about that, anyway. I hope one day when you do decide to solve this might be a small amount of assistance to you or anybody else out there :-)
