  had
• 3:03
  no
• 3:03
  idea.
• 3:04
  And
• 3:04
  because
• 3:04
  I
• 3:04
  was
• 3:04
  willing
• 3:04
  to
• 3:05
  take
• 3:05
  that
• 3:05
  leap
• 3:05
  of
• 3:05
  faith
• 3:06
  and
• 3:06
  trusting
• 3:07
  God,

• 3:29
  of
• 3:30
  businesses
• 3:30
  crumbled
• 3:31
  shortly
• 3:31
  after.
• 3:32
  Exactly.
• 3:33
  Yeah.
• 3:33
  There's
• 3:33
  something
• 3:33
  to
• 3:34
  be
• 3:34
  said.
• 3:34
  I
• 3:34
  mean,
• 3:35
  and
• 3:35
  just
• 3:35
  that
• 3:35
  whole
• 3:36
  story,
• 3:37
  eating
• 3:37
  Taco
• 3:38
  Bell
• 3:38
  or
• 3:38
  possibly
• 3:39
  McDonald's,
• 3:40
  I
• 3:40
  can't
• 3:40
  verify
• 3:41
  that,
• 3:41
  but.
• 3:42
  And
• 3:42
  just
• 3:42
  that
• 3:42
  moment
• 3:43
  where
• 3:43
  you
• 3:43
  just
• 3:43
  heard
• 3:44
  the
• 3:44
  voice
• 3:44
  and
• 3:44
  it
• 3:44
  was
• 3:44
  like,
• 3:45
  this
• 3:45
  is
• 3:45
  what
• 3:45
  you
• 3:45
  have
• 3:45
  to
• 3:45
  do.
• 3:46
  And
• 3:46
  you
• 3:46
  listened,
• 3:47
  right?
• 3:47
  Yeah.
• 3:48
  And
• 3:48
  look
• 3:48
  what.
• 3:49
  Look
• 3:49
  what
• 3:49
  that
• 3:50
  obedience
• 3:50
  has
• 3:50
  done.
• 3:51
  Right?
• 3:51
  Through
• 3:52
  the
• 3:52
  hardest
• 3:52
  time
• 3:53
  that
• 3:53
  the
• 3:53
  world
• 3:53
  has
• 3:53
  seen,
• 3:54
  at
• 3:54
  least
• 3:54
  in
• 3:54
  our
• 3:54
  lifetime,
• 3:55
  you
• 3:56
  and
• 3:56
  your
• 3:56
  family
• 3:56
  were
• 3:57
  able
• 3:57
  to.
• 3:57
  And
• 3:57
  your
• 3:57
  business
• 3:58
  thrived
• 3:59
  and
• 3:59
  you
• 3:59
  continued
• 4:00
  to
• 4:00
  do.
• 4:00
  Maybe
• 4:01
  you
• 4:01
  said,
• 4:01
  you're
• 4:01
  still
• 4:01
  preaching.
• 4:02
  Maybe
• 4:02
  in
• 4:03
  your
• 4:03
  pajama
• 4:03
  bottoms,
• 4:04
  you're
• 4:04
  still
• 4:04
  doing
• 4:05
  the
• 4:05
  work
• 4:05
  that
• 4:05
  had
• 4:05
  to
• 4:05
  be
• 4:06
  done.
• 4:06
  And.
• 4:06
  And.
• 4:09
  And.
• 4:09
  And
• 4:09
  look,
• 4:10
  it
• 4:10
  was
• 4:10
  just
• 4:10
  insane.
• 4:11
  Yeah.
• 4:11
  Yeah,
• 4:12
  it
• 4:12
  was
• 4:12
  insane.
• 4:12
  The
• 4:13
  business.
• 4:13
  A
• 4:14
  lot
• 4:14
  of
• 4:14
  my
• 4:14
  friends
• 4:14
  started
• 4:14
  businesses.
• 4:16
  Some
• 4:16
  people
• 4:16
  didn't
• 4:17
  do
• 4:17
  well,
• 4:18
  you
• 4:18
  know,
• 4:18
  and
• 4:19
  some
• 4:19
  people
• 4:19
  did
• 4:20
  really
• 4:20
  well.
• 4:21
  I
• 4:21
  saw
• 4:21
  it.
• 4:21
  I'm
• 4:21
  like,
• 4:22
  wow.
• 4:22
  I
• 4:22
  didn't
• 4:22
  even
• 4:22
  know
• 4:23
  this
• 4:23
  was
• 4:23
  possible
• 4:24
  when
• 4:24
  I
• 4:24
  started
• 4:24
  the
• 4:24
  business,
• 4:25
  Mind
• 4:26
  you.
• 4:26
  I'm
• 4:26
  first
• 4:27
  generation,
• 4:27
  right?
• 4:28
  My,
• 4:28
  I.
• 4:28
  My
• 4:29
  parents,
• 4:29
  you
• 4:29
  know,
• 4:30
  speaks
• 4:30
  most
• 4:30
  predominantly
• 4:31
  Spanish.
• 4:32
  And
• 4:32
  I
• 4:32
  told
• 4:33
  my
• 4:33
  dad,
• 4:33
  I
• 4:33
  said,
• 4:33
  hey,
• 4:34
  I'm
• 4:34
  gonna
• 4:34
  start
• 4:34
  a
• 4:34
  business.
• 4:35
  And
• 4:35
  my
• 4:35
  dad
• 4:35
  said,
• 4:36
  oh,
• 4:36
  no,
• 4:37
  it's
• 4:37
  not
• 4:37
  gonna
• 4:37
  work.
• 4:38
  Because
• 4:38
  he
• 4:38
  didn't
• 4:38
  understand
• 4:39
  it.
• 4:39
  Yeah,
• 4:39
  he
• 4:39
  didn't
• 4:40
  understand
• 4:40
  my
• 4:40
  business.
• 4:41
  Yeah.
• 4:41
  He
• 4:41
  never
• 4:42
  understood
• 4:42
  that
• 4:42
  I
• 4:43
  could
• 4:43
  make
• 4:43
  a
• 4:43
  living
• 4:43
  from
• 4:43
  playing
• 4:44
  music.
• 4:45
  And.
• 4:45
  And
• 4:45
  that
• 4:45
  was
• 4:46
  five
• 4:46
  years
• 4:46
  ago.
• 4:47
  Right?
• 4:48
  That
• 4:48
  was
• 4:48
  Five
• 4:49
  years
• 4:49
  ago,
• 4:49
  two
• 4:49
  kids
• 4:50
  ago,
• 4:51
  where
• 4:51
  I,
• 4:52
  I,
• 4:52
  I
• 4:52
  brought
• 4:53
  that
• 4:53
  up
• 4:53
  at
• 4:53
  a
• 4:54
  Thanksgiving
• 4:54
  dinner
• 4:55
  and
• 4:56
  my
• 4:56
  dad
• 4:56
  was
• 4:56
  like,
• 4:57
  I
• 4:57
  don't
• 4:57
  know.
• 4:58
  And,
• 4:58
  and
• 4:58
  now
• 4:59
  we're
• 4:59
  here
• 5:00
  and
• 5:01
  I,
• 5:01
  I've.
• 5:01
  Of
• 5:01
  course
• 5:02
  there's
• 5:02
  hard
• 5:02
  work
• 5:02
  and
• 5:03
  of
• 5:03
  course
• 5:03
  there's
• 5:03
  relationships
• 5:04
  that
• 5:04
  were
• 5:04
  built,
• 5:05
  but
• 5:06
  honestly,
• 5:06
  it's.
• 5:07
  Without
• 5:07
  the
• 5:07
  help
• 5:08
  of
• 5:08
  God,
• 5:08
  it
• 5:08
  wouldn't
• 5:08
  have
• 5:08
  never
• 5:09
  been
• 5:09
  possible
• 5:09
  because
• 5:10
  I
• 5:10
  would
• 5:10
  have
• 5:10
  doubted
• 5:10
  myself
• 5:10
  and
• 5:11
  I
• 5:11
  would
• 5:11
  have
• 5:11
  never
• 5:11
  done
• 5:11
  it.
• 5:12
  I'd
• 5:12
  still
• 5:13
  be
• 5:13
  playing
• 5:13
  True,
• 5:14
  like,
• 5:14
  exclusively
• 5:16
  now.
• 5:16
  I
• 5:17
  play
• 5:17
  because
• 5:17
  I
• 5:17
  want
• 5:18
  to.
• 5:19
  So.
• 5:20
  Yeah.
• 5:21
  And
• 5:21
  that's
• 5:21
  when
• 5:22
  it,
• 5:22
  when
• 5:22
  it
• 5:22
  comes,
• 5:23
  like.
• 5:23
  Yeah.
• 5:23
  Because
• 5:24
  for
• 5:24
  a
• 5:24
  lot
• 5:24
  of
• 5:24
  musicians,
• 5:25
  like
• 5:25
  you
• 5:25
  said,
• 5:25
  you
• 5:25
  reach
• 5:26
  this
• 5:26
  plateau
• 5:26
  of
• 5:27
  just
• 5:27
  playing
• 5:27
  and
• 5:28
  going
• 5:28
  through
• 5:28
  the
• 5:28
  motions
• 5:29
  of
• 5:29
  playing,
• 5:29
  and
• 5:30
  that
• 5:30
  passion
• 5:30
  is
• 5:31
  kind
• 5:31
  of
• 5:31
  getting
• 5:31
  dwindled
• 5:32
  because
• 5:32
  of
• 5:33
  the
• 5:33
  necessity
• 5:33
  to
• 5:34
  play.
• 5:34
  But
• 5:34
  when
• 5:35
  you
• 5:35
  open
• 5:35
  up
• 5:36
  your
• 5:36
  opportunities
• 5:37
  and
• 5:37
  you
• 5:37
  can
• 5:38
  do
• 5:38
  other
• 5:38
  things
• 5:39
  that
• 5:39
  don't
• 5:39
  make
• 5:40
  you
• 5:40
  have
• 5:40
  to
• 5:41
  play
• 5:41
  and
• 5:41
  you
• 5:41
  just
• 5:42
  want
• 5:42
  to
• 5:42
  play
• 5:42
  it,
• 5:43
  it's,
• 5:43
  it's
• 5:43
  a
• 5:43
  beautiful
• 5:44
  thing.
• 5:44
  I've
• 5:44
  seen
• 5:44
  it
• 5:45
  with
• 5:45
  a
• 5:45
  lot
• 5:45
  of
• 5:45
  people
• 5:46
  where
• 5:46
  now
• 5:46
  they
• 5:46
  can
• 5:47
  pick
• 5:47
  and
• 5:47
  choose
• 5:47
  when
• 5:47
  they
• 5:47
  can
• 5:48
  refuse
• 5:48
  gigs
• 5:48
  because
• 5:49
  they
• 5:49
  don't
• 5:49
  have
• 5:49
  to
• 5:49
  take
• 5:49
  the
• 5:50
  gig.
• 5:50
  And
• 5:50
  that's
• 5:51
  when
• 5:51
  I
• 5:52
  feel
• 5:52
  musicians
• 5:52
  really
• 5:53
  get
• 5:53
  to
• 5:53
  blossom
• 5:54
  into
• 5:54
  who
• 5:54
  they
• 5:55
  want
• 5:55
  to
• 5:55
  be.
• 5:56
  Do
• 5:56
  you,
• 5:57
  do
• 5:57
  you
• 5:57
  think
• 5:58
  with
• 5:59
  opening
• 5:59
  up
• 5:59
  the
• 6:00
  business,
• 6:00
  with
• 6:01
  being
• 6:02
  a
• 6:02
  youth
• 6:02
  pastor,
• 6:03
  father
• 6:03
  of
• 6:04
  two,
• 6:05
  playing
• 6:05
  music,
• 6:06
  you
• 6:06
  know,
• 6:06
  you
• 6:07
  had
• 6:07
  so
• 6:07
  much
• 6:07
  going
• 6:08
  on.
• 6:08
  Is
• 6:09
  there
• 6:09
  anything
• 6:10
  else
• 6:10
  that
• 6:10
  you
• 6:10
  feel
• 6:11
  you
• 6:12
  want
• 6:12
  to
• 6:13
  challenge
• 6:13
  yourself
• 6:14
  and
• 6:14
  do?
• 6:14
  Because,
• 6:14
  I
• 6:14
  mean,
• 6:15
  it's
• 6:15
  incredible
• 6:16
  that
• 6:16
  you
• 6:16
  were
• 6:16
  able
• 6:16
  to
• 6:17
  do
• 6:17
  the
• 6:17
  business,
• 6:17
  but
• 6:17
  is
• 6:17
  there
• 6:18
  anything
• 6:18
  else
• 6:18
  where
• 6:18
  you're
• 6:19
  kind
• 6:19
  of
• 6:19
  like
• 6:19
  at
• 6:20
  that
• 6:20
  same
• 6:20
  moment
• 6:20
  just
• 6:21
  before
• 6:21
  you
• 6:21
  ate
• 6:21
  the
• 6:21
  Taco
• 6:22
  Bell,
• 6:22
  where
• 6:22
  you're
• 6:22
  considering
• 6:23
  doing
• 6:24
  something?
• 6:25
  Yeah,
• 6:26
  absolutely.
• 6:28
  At
• 6:28
  that
• 6:29
  time,
• 6:30
  my
• 6:30
  goal,
• 6:31
  I
• 6:31
  was
• 6:32
  going
• 6:32
  back
• 6:32
  and
• 6:32
  forth
• 6:33
  between
• 6:33
  opening
• 6:34
  up
• 6:34
  a
• 6:34
  donut
• 6:34
  shop
• 6:35
  and
• 6:36
  doing
• 6:36
  the
• 6:36
  business,
• 6:37
  doing
• 6:37
  the
• 6:38
  music
• 6:38
  shop.
• 6:39
  Yeah.
• 6:39
  I
• 6:40
  wanted
• 6:40
  to
• 6:41
  do
• 6:41
  something.
• 6:42
  I
• 6:42
  know,
• 6:43
  right?
• 6:43
  I
• 6:44
  wanted
• 6:44
  to
• 6:44
  do
• 6:44
  something
• 6:44
  that
• 6:45
  was
• 6:45
  just
• 6:45
  like,
• 6:45
  people
• 6:46
  need
• 6:46
  it.
• 6:47
  I
• 6:47
  didn't
• 6:48
  want
• 6:48
  to
• 6:49
  try
• 6:49
  to
• 6:49
  sell
• 6:49
  coffee.
• 6:50
  I
• 6:50
  didn't
• 6:51
  want
• 6:51
  to
• 6:51
  try
• 6:51
  to
• 6:51
  sell
• 6:52

  bracelets.
• 6:53
  I
• 6:53
  wanted
• 6:53
  to
• 6:53
  do
• 6:54
  something
• 6:54
  that
• 6:54
  I
• 6:54
  know
• 6:54
  that
• 6:55
  it's
• 6:55
  going
• 6:55
  to,
• 6:55
  People
• 6:55
  are
• 6:56
  going

  to
• 6:56
  want
• 6:56
  it
• 6:56
  all
• 6:56
  the
• 6:57
  time.
• 6:58
  Yeah.
• 6:59
  So,
• 6:59
  yeah,
• 7:00
  there
• 7:00
  was
• 7:00
  that.
• 7:00
  But

  heart's

  do

  done
• 8:05
  in

  church.
• 8:10
  That's

  been.
• 8:11
  Since

• 8:14
  It's
• 8:14
  always
• 8:15
  been
• 8:15
  in

  preaching.
• 8:16
  And
• 8:16
  now
• 8:17
  we're
• 8:17
  able
• 8:17
  to

  That.

  I
• 8:22
  give
• 8:22
  honor
• 8:22
  and
• 8:22
  glory
• 8:22
  to
• 8:22
  God
• 8:23
  for
• 8:23
  that,
• 8:23
  because
• 8:24
  I
• 8:24
  know
• 8:24
  these
• 8:24
  relationships
• 8:25
  eventually
• 8:25
  will
• 8:26
  grow
• 8:26
  and
• 8:27
  we
• 8:27
  might
• 8:27
  be
• 8:27
  over
• 8:27
  there
• 8:27
  and
• 8:27
  have
• 8:28
  a
• 8:28
  Juices
• 8:28
  Music
• 8:28
  Shop
• 8:29
  revival,
• 8:29
  right?
• 8:30
  Let's
• 8:30
  just
• 8:30
  say,
• 8:31
  right,
• 8:32
  we
• 8:32
  believe
• 8:33
  that
• 8:33
  everything
• 8:34
  is
• 8:34
  absolutely
• 8:35
  intertwined,
• 8:35
  but
• 8:35
  that's
• 8:36
  always
• 8:36
  been
• 8:36
  our
• 8:36
  heart.
• 8:37
  Our
• 8:37
  heart
• 8:37
  has
• 8:37
  always
• 8:38
  been
• 8:38
  absolutely.
• 8:39
  In
• 8:39
  growing
• 8:39
  the
• 8:40
  kingdom
• 8:41
  without
• 8:41
  having
• 8:41
  to
• 8:41
  put
• 8:42
  a
• 8:42
  name
• 8:42
  to
• 8:42
  it
• 8:42
  as
• 8:42
  far
• 8:43
  as,
• 8:43
  oh,
• 8:43
  this
• 8:44
  is
• 8:44
  hillsong
• 8:45
  or
• 8:45
  this
• 8:45
  is
• 8:45
  elevation.
• 8:46
  Yo,
• 8:47
  this
• 8:47
  is
• 8:47
  Jesus.
• 8:48
  That's
• 8:48
  it.
• 8:48
  Yeah,
• 8:48
  yeah.
• 8:49
  You
• 8:49
  know,
• 8:49
  lives
• 8:50
  are
• 8:50
  changed.
• 8:51
  It
• 8:51
  just
• 8:51
  so
• 8:51
  happens
• 8:51
  that,
• 8:52
  you
• 8:52
  know,
• 8:52
  JMS
• 8:53
  is.
• 8:54
  Is
• 8:54
  funding
• 8:54
  this,
• 8:55
  you
• 8:55
  know.
• 8:57
  Yeah,
• 8:57
  yeah,
• 8:58
  yeah,
• 8:58
  yeah.
• 8:59
  And
• 8:59
  I
• 8:59
  love
• 8:59
  that,
• 9:00
  man.
• 9:00
  There's
• 9:00
  so
• 9:00
  much
• 9:01
  value,
• 9:01
  so
• 9:02
  much
• 9:02
  purpose
• 9:03
  in
• 9:03
  the
• 9:03
  business.
• 9:04
  And,
• 9:04
  yeah,
• 9:05
  honestly,
• 9:05
  I
• 9:05
  mean.
• 9:06
  I
• 9:06
  mean,
• 9:06
  people
• 9:06
  need
• 9:07
  donuts
• 9:07
  too,
• 9:07
  so
• 9:07
  I
• 9:08
  guess
• 9:08
  it
• 9:08
  could
• 9:08
  have
• 9:08
  been
• 9:08
  any
• 9:09
  business,
• 9:09
  truth.
• 9:10
  Truthfully.
• 9:11
  But
• 9:11
  I
• 9:11
  think
• 9:11
  it's
• 9:12
  what
• 9:12
  you.
• 9:12
  You
• 9:12
  put
• 9:13
  into
• 9:13
  it.
• 9:13
  And
• 9:14
  the
• 9:14
  fact
• 9:15
  that
• 9:15
  no
• 9:15
  matter.
• 9:16
  I
• 9:16
  believe
• 9:16
  that
• 9:16
  no
• 9:17
  matter
• 9:17
  what
• 9:17
  business
• 9:17
  you
• 9:18
  opened
• 9:18
  up
• 9:18
  or
• 9:19
  what
• 9:19
  businesses
• 9:20
  you
• 9:20
  continue
• 9:20
  to
• 9:20
  open
• 9:21
  up,
• 9:21
  I
• 9:21
  can
• 9:22
  see
• 9:22
  that
• 9:22
  you're
• 9:23
  still
• 9:23
  going
• 9:23
  to
• 9:23
  have
• 9:23
  that
• 9:24
  solid
• 9:24
  foundation
• 9:25
  of
• 9:26
  your
• 9:26
  belief
• 9:27
  and
• 9:27
  your
• 9:27
  obedience
• 9:28
  to
• 9:28
  Christ.
• 9:28
  And
• 9:28
  I
• 9:28
  think
• 9:29
  that
• 9:29
  that's
• 9:29
  going
• 9:29
  to
• 9:29
  come
• 9:29
  through
• 9:30
  all
• 9:30
  of
• 9:30
  the
• 9:30
  work
• 9:30
  that
• 9:31
  you
• 9:31
  do.
• 9:31
  So
• 9:31
  that's
• 9:32
  incredible.
• 9:32
  I
• 9:32
  look
• 9:32
  forward
• 9:33
  to
• 9:33
  more
• 9:33
  of
• 9:33
  that.
• 9:34
  I
• 9:34
  want
• 9:34
  to.
• 9:35
  I
• 9:35
  know
• 9:35

• 9:35

• 9:36
  getting
• 9:36
  a
• 9:36

• 9:37
  have
• 9:37

  happened
• 9:43
  since,
• 9:44
  you
• 9:44
  know,
• 9:44
  like
• 9:45
  recently
• 9:46
  after

  So

  Maybe

  I'll
• 10:10
  pick
• 10:11
  your

  Yeah,

• 10:21
  During
• 10:21
  the
• 10:21
  height
• 10:21
  of

  that.
• 10:22
  Because
• 10:22
  YouTube

• 10:23
  flag
• 10:23
  us
• 10:23
  if
• 10:23
  we
• 10:23
  said

• 11:06
  whatever

  I

  didn't
• 11:07

• 11:08
  anymore.
• 11:09
  Okay.
• 11:09
  So
• 11:09
  I
• 11:09
  said,
• 11:10
  you

  I'm

  going
• 11:11
  to
• 11:11
  just
• 11:11
  run
• 11:11
  it.
• 11:12
  My
• 11:12
  wife
• 11:12
  said,
• 11:12
  do
• 11:12
  you
• 11:12
  know
• 11:13
  how
• 11:13
  to
• 11:13
  do
• 11:13
  it?
• 11:13
  And
• 11:13
  I
• 11:13
  said,
• 11:14
  no.
• 11:14
  Took
• 11:15
  me
• 11:15
  a
• 11:15
  while.
• 11:15
  I
• 11:15
  figured
• 11:16
  it
• 11:16
  out,
• 11:16
  found
• 11:16
  manufacturer
• 11:18
  overseas,
• 11:19
  and
• 11:19
  then
• 11:20
  I
• 11:20
  launched
• 11:20
  it
• 11:20
  at
• 11:20
  the
• 11:20
  end
• 11:21
  of
• 11:21
  the
• 11:21
  pandemic
• 11:21
  or
• 11:21
  at
• 11:22
  the
• 11:22
  end
• 11:22
  of
• 11:22
  2020.
• 11:23
  Once
• 11:24
  I
• 11:24
  did
• 11:24
  that,
• 11:25
  the
• 11:25
  world
• 11:25
  started
• 11:25
  opening
• 11:26
  up
• 11:26
  a
• 11:26
  little
• 11:26
  bit
• 11:26
  more.
• 11:27
  I
• 11:27
  started
• 11:27
  playing
• 11:27
  again.
• 11:28
  Then
• 11:28
  I
• 11:28
  started
• 11:28
  playing
• 11:29
  with
• 11:29
  bigger
• 11:29
  names,
• 11:29
  Started
• 11:29
  playing

• 11:30
  Moore,
• 11:31
  Todd
• 11:31
  Delaney,
• 11:31
  Naomi
• 11:32
  Rain.
• 11:33
  And
• 11:33
  I
• 11:33
  was
• 11:33
  taking
• 11:33
  this
• 11:34
  product
• 11:34
  everywhere.
• 11:34
  People
• 11:35
  would
• 11:35
  say,
• 11:35
  hey.
• 11:36
  I
• 11:36
  would
• 11:36
  tell
• 11:36
  them,
• 11:36
  what
• 11:36
  are
• 11:37
  you
• 11:37

• 11:38
  Oh,

• 11:38
  this,
• 11:39
  I'm
• 11:39
  using
• 11:39
  that.
• 11:39
  And
• 11:40
  I
• 11:40
  said,
• 11:40
  no,
• 11:40
  you
• 11:40
  got
• 11:41
  to
• 11:41
  use
• 11:41
  Juicy
• 11:41
  Ears.
• 11:41
  What
• 11:42
  is
• 11:42
  Juicy
• 11:42
  Ears?
• 11:43
  And
• 11:43
  I'm
• 11:43
  like,
• 11:43
  they're
• 11:43
  my
• 11:44
  headphones.
• 11:44
  I
• 11:44
  made
• 11:44
  these
• 11:45
  headphones.
• 11:45
  And
• 11:45
  I
• 11:45
  was
• 11:45
  making
• 11:46
  them
• 11:46
  in
• 11:46
  house
• 11:46
  in,
• 11:47
  In
• 11:47
  Whittier,
• 11:47
  California.
• 11:48
  And
• 11:49
  they're
• 11:49
  like,
• 11:49
  okay.
• 11:50
  They
• 11:50
  would
• 11:50
  try
• 11:50
  them.
• 11:51
  Wow.
• 11:51
  And
• 11:51
  then
• 11:51
  their
• 11:51
  minds
• 11:52
  would
• 11:52
  be
• 11:52
  blown
• 11:52
  because
• 11:52
  everything
• 11:53
  that
• 11:53
  they
• 11:53
  were
• 11:53
  using
• 11:53
  was
• 11:54
  just

  like

  level,
• 11:55
  you

  and.
• 11:57
  And
• 11:57
  I
• 11:57
  was
• 11:57
  just
• 11:57
  bootstrapping
• 11:58
  everything.
• 11:58
  Like,
• 11:58
  I
• 11:59
  would
• 11:59
  just
• 11:59
  take
• 11:59
  10
• 12:00
  with
• 12:00
  me
• 12:00
  everywhere.
• 12:01
  I
• 12:01
  started
• 12:01
  growing
• 12:02
  it
• 12:02
  then
• 12:02
  there
• 12:02
  with
• 12:03
  my
• 12:03
  friends.
• 12:03
  I
• 12:03
  had
• 12:04
  five
• 12:04
  friends
• 12:05
  that
• 12:05
  I
• 12:05
  still.
• 12:05
  I
• 12:06
  just
• 12:06
  played
• 12:06
  with
• 12:06
  them.
• 12:06
  Last
• 12:06
  weekend.
• 12:07
  We
• 12:07
  had
• 12:07
  a
• 12:07
  concert
• 12:08
  that
• 12:09
  pretty
• 12:09

• 12:09
  me
• 12:10
  just,
• 12:10

• 12:11
  Push
• 12:11
  this
• 12:11
  Juicy
• 12:12
  Ear
• 12:12
  idea.
• 12:13
  At
• 12:13
  that
• 12:13
  point,
• 12:14
  it
• 12:14
  started
• 12:14
  growing
• 12:15
  really
• 12:15
  fast.
• 12:16
  All
• 12:17
  my
• 12:17
  local
• 12:17
  community
• 12:18
  started
• 12:18
  buying
• 12:19
  it.
• 12:19
  It
• 12:19
  wasn't
• 12:20
  this.
• 12:20
  Juicy
• 12:21
  Ears
• 12:21
  wasn't
• 12:22
  the
• 12:22
  thing
• 12:22
  where
• 12:22
  it
• 12:22
  was
• 12:23
  like,
• 12:23
  I
• 12:23
  have
• 12:23
  to
• 12:23
  convince
• 12:24
  people.
• 12:24
  It
• 12:24
  was
• 12:24
  more
• 12:25
  like,
• 12:25
  hey,

  want
• 12:28
  it.
• 12:28
  That's
• 12:28
  what
• 12:28
  happened.
• 12:29
  So
• 12:29
  then
• 12:30
  it
• 12:30
  started
• 12:30
  growing,
• 12:31
  and

• 13:07
  Like,
• 13:07
  I
• 13:07
  don't
• 13:07
  need
• 13:07
  it.
• 13:08
  I
• 13:08
  don't

• 13:11
  So

  I
• 13:12
  kind
• 13:12
  of
• 13:12
  was
• 13:12
  like,

• 13:13
  I
• 13:13
  have
• 13:13
  a
• 13:13
  buddy
• 13:13
  that
• 13:13
  I
• 13:13
  know
• 13:13
  could
• 13:14
  benefit
• 13:14
  from
• 13:14
  playing,
• 13:15
  and
• 13:15
  he
• 13:16
  could
• 13:16
  add
• 13:16
  that
• 13:16
  to
• 13:16
  his
• 13:16
  resume.
• 13:17
  But
• 13:17
  they,
• 13:18
  like,
• 13:18
  insisted.
• 13:18
  They're
• 13:19
  like,
• 13:19
  dude,
• 13:19
  no,
• 13:19

  you.
• 13:20
  They
• 13:21
  church
• 13:21
  would
• 13:21
  love
• 13:21
  to
• 13:22
  have
• 13:22
  you
• 13:23
  be.
• 13:23
  And
• 13:23
  it
• 13:23
  really
• 13:23
  was.
• 13:24
  It
• 13:24
  wasn't
• 13:24
  just
• 13:24
  so
• 13:24
  much
• 13:25
  for
• 13:25
  the
• 13:25
  Bas
• 13:25
  playing.
• 13:25
  I
• 13:25
  think
• 13:25
  it
• 13:26
  was
• 13:26
  just
• 13:26
  for,
• 13:26
  like,
• 13:27
  the
• 13:27
  leadership
• 13:28
  and.
• 13:28
  And.
• 13:28
  And
• 13:28
  the
• 13:29
  relationships
• 13:29
  that
• 13:29
  I
• 13:29
  built
• 13:29
  with
• 13:30
  that
• 13:30
  church,
• 13:30
  you
• 13:30
  know,
• 13:30
  through
• 13:31
  ministry.
• 13:32
  And
• 13:32
  I
• 13:32
  said,
• 13:32
  all
• 13:32
  right,
• 13:33
  cool,
• 13:33
  I'll
• 13:33
  do
• 13:33
  it.
• 13:34
  So
• 13:34
  I
• 13:34
  said,
• 13:34
  at
• 13:34
  the
• 13:34
  very
• 13:35
  least,
• 13:36
  because
• 13:36
  I
• 13:36
  didn't
• 13:36
  know
• 13:36
  what
• 13:36
  the
• 13:36
  pay
• 13:37
  situation
• 13:37
  was,
• 13:37
  like,
• 13:37
  I'm
• 13:37
  like,
• 13:38
  the
• 13:38
  very
• 13:38
  least,
• 13:38
  I'll
• 13:38
  take
• 13:38
  Juicy
• 13:39
  Ears
• 13:39
  and

  So

  promo
• 14:37
  video.
• 14:38
  I

  for
• 14:40
  about
• 14:40
  a
• 14:40
  month
• 14:40
  and
• 14:40
  a
• 14:41
  half
• 14:41
  because
• 14:41
  I
• 14:41
  had
• 14:41
  to
• 14:41
  get
• 14:41
  my
• 14:42
  inventory
• 14:42
  up
• 14:43
  right.
• 14:43
  Mind
• 14:43
  you,
• 14:43
  I'm
• 14:44
  still
• 14:44
  learning
• 14:44
  how
• 14:44
  to
• 14:44
  make
• 14:44
  this.
• 14:45
  I
• 14:45
  was
• 14:46
  making
• 14:46
  like
• 14:46
  four
• 14:46

• 14:47
  years
• 14:47

• 14:47
  week
• 14:48
  if
• 14:48
  I'm
• 14:48
  lucky.
• 14:49
  So
• 14:49
  I
• 14:50
  boosted
• 14:50
  up
• 14:50
  my
• 14:50
  inventory.
• 14:52
  I

• 14:53
  money
• 14:53
  with
• 14:53
  that
• 14:54

• 14:54
  had.
• 14:54
  I've
• 14:54
  just
• 14:54
  invested
• 14:55
  everything.
