  the absolutely and you can see those sharks in the sea and they can see you too and then you jump
• 0:06
  in the water with them and what just chill just chill you just sort of just kind of I mean I
• 0:12
  mean obviously we're anything else you got to be cautious right anything underwater they are they
• 0:17
  I will say they are apex predators they are they can be dangerous but the stigma behind them
• 0:22
  all isn't true you know I mean in terms of like they're not looking they're not out to get you
• 0:27
  you know I mean they're not so you ought to get from this is what I'm trying to understand
• 0:31
  what you thought would I get from it yes just to get to see them in the habitat you know it's
• 0:36
  really okay it's one of them this kind of those magical experiences where you could just
• 0:40
  leave yeah it's just really I don't know I find it exciting the first time you went swimming
• 0:43
  I'm sorry I didn't know this about you clearly um the first time you decided to go and swim with
• 0:48
  the sharks was it just for an adrenaline rush have you always loved sharks your scared of snakes I
• 0:54
  thought we were on the same page with animals but oh no we've gone from fear of like land animals
• 1:02
  to being cool with jumping in a water with sharks okay so yeah I have a okay so the thing with
• 1:10
  the snakes okay I had to realize because of an ashraya you know they have a lot of venomous snakes
• 1:16
  okay and I don't mind snakes I actually don't mind animals in general can you like me surprise
• 1:21
  about them okay because even when I was having an ashraya I was an issue wrecked I was swimming I was
• 1:28
  swimming kind of over the like I was coming around the bottom a huge bull shark went by me
• 1:33
  and again it was one of the moments where I'm starting because I didn't expect that okay you know I
• 1:37
  mean so again it was sharks it's like it's one of the things where you have to know again be
• 1:44
  educated on them right educate on to know understand they have you know they're nothing happy
• 1:49
  but they are they're gonna behave yeah they behave you know okay knowing we're okay I need to back
• 1:55
  up I'm okay to swim like you know I'm not going up to them like trying to pet them I'm just kind
• 2:00
  I just want to I just want to observe them in a in a in a habitat in the environment and you're
• 2:04
  not scared they're going to numb you not really really no you say this is it's normal are most
• 2:12
  people not surprised that you like to swim with sharks yeah especially in especially in the
• 2:17
  scuba diving industry like the scuba diving like community you say you know you tell a scuba
• 2:22
  dive you saw a shark yeah I think I think I think people outside of the scuba diving community kind
• 2:29
  of like I got you down with sharks right but it's so normalized okay yeah but it's not so often
• 2:33
  you're you're lucky to see a shark because you have to because you have to go to areas where
• 2:39
  almost like your guarantee or it's like it's really common to see them oh well so again this is
• 2:44
  areas in the world where you gain like Galapagos like a lot of those places we quiet a lot of money
• 2:50
  right and I'm at the point where I was like I don't have you know $5,000 you know for the scuba
• 2:55
  you know I mean so again where I'm at the point in my life where I was like I think for me to level
• 2:59
  up I need to change some things around okay and so well decided is that I'm going back to school
• 3:05
  okay PA school okay so I decided I'm going to do that so I've been not going to have some classes
• 3:11
  hopefully by next year I get to enroll into the program and I regret so far the only regret I have
• 3:18
  what do I have to regret I have to one regret is again moving the Phoenix that's one to
• 3:25
  Satan's playground the second my second regret is spending my savings on an app on an app
• 3:37
  yeah what do you mean oh let me see there's the period in time and I was on a show yeah I was
• 3:42
  making good money yeah making good money you know so I was you know when you when you have money
• 3:46
  you know the the choices open up right you get the ideas flowing black and invested in this
• 3:50
  isn't that right and so I was wondering I'm like three in the morning type of days where again it was
• 3:56
  for my it's from my travel experiences where I was like I wanted to do certain I wanted to do like
• 4:01
  my I had like a bucket list of items I wanted to do and I found it really I found it really
• 4:05
  difficult to really find these activities right okay and I was like it has to be more streamlined
• 4:10
  platform where I can just like if I'm going to go I can put together a list of ideas
• 4:15
  sure and click on you know maybe to find it instantly right so I was like oh you know what I think
• 4:21
  this I think the name changed a couple times but I ended up staying with bucket list reload it
• 4:26
  okay you know where it's your bucket list but however it's a bit different because now you can
• 4:31
  I mean so I created an app okay I invested in the app I spent like $40,000 okay yeah on this
• 4:38
  app I hired a third party yeah company from India right the kind of you know cut costs yes and I
• 4:44
  had zero experiences I had zero experience creating an app eat I was I didn't know anything about
• 4:51
  that industry right right but I had some ideas and I wanted to make that I wanted to have somebody
• 4:55
  kind of make that tangible sure so I was saying you know I hired them I told them what I wanted
• 5:02
  and God it was a journey really yeah and oh man so it started it was a great idea right
• 5:07
  it's even to this day so great idea it's nothing on the market that's doing it I mean you have
• 5:10
  like things like Vieter and like I think get your guy like you have those kind of apps but it's
• 5:15
  not it's not quite what so this app the vision is that you can select the activity that you want to
• 5:20
  do you will see potential places that you can do it and you can just book seamlessly yeah okay
• 5:25
  so I I literally spent months gathering every activity you could possibly do on this earth okay
• 5:29
  like 115 activities okay anything from like skydiving and scuba diving anything between yeah and you
• 5:35
  sign up for the app and you click on these activities that you want to do you go back and come back
• 5:38
  edit right and so the idea is like it's like a Google map right you okay and so you look at the
• 5:43
  businesses that offer activities you click on it you book everything through the app yeah and the app
• 5:47
  sounds great yeah right well haven't well but so they design app and I think so there was something
• 5:57
  on the Q&A and again I didn't have a I didn't have a lot of experiences to know to look for and I
• 6:01
  just looking at the app I was like this is beautiful I I held a hand from start to finish or
• 6:05
  on the design the font layout the color everything icons I mean you named me that was my baby okay
• 6:12
  and it came down to you know uploading it on the market and I was like you know it
• 6:18
  don't have to be perfect sure I mean and I always tweet here but then I was like this has a lot
• 6:21
  of bugs like it was so many bugs and I was like I got to fix this right and it's like we have
• 6:26
  well we could fix it but you know it's gonna cost another 20 grand I was like I don't have
• 6:30
  the money yeah to call my money to my life savings and I kind of crashed out there too sure oh
• 6:37
  and I was like so also you should end it I'm not fixing it okay I end up scrapping the app okay
• 6:42
  well I end up scrapping the app it's all me sure and yeah do you think it's something that you
• 6:47
  that you'd bring back to life if I get bored with life okay I think at some point if I have more
• 6:52
  money yeah and I've done everything and I was like well I'm gonna kind of get us to swing again
• 6:56
  sure maybe okay yes that doesn't sound like a really regretful I mean the money side of course
• 7:01
  I'm not trying to say that it's cool to lose that kind of money but I think I mean the idea
• 7:06
  makes complete centered also aligns with like who you are and what you love right I think I
• 7:10
  regret regret is doing it without okay I think my regret is not doing enough research before not yeah
