Yeah, I thought a lot about this before Yeah, I thought a lot about this before Yeah, I thought a lot about this before we started Ultra together and I want to we started Ultra together and I want to we started Ultra together and I want to just like baseline what I'm about to say just like baseline what I'm about to say just like baseline what I'm about to say to people because it will sound to people because it will sound to people because it will sound offensive. Uh but it took me a long time offensive. Uh but it took me a long time offensive. Uh but it took me a long time to figure this out. You know, I've been to figure this out. You know, I've been to figure this out. You know, I've been running masterminds since 2008. running masterminds since 2008. running masterminds since 2008. >> Wow. >> Wow. >> Wow. >> And you know, for most of these years, >> And you know, for most of these years, >> And you know, for most of these years, I've, you know, generated well over I've, you know, generated well over I've, you know, generated well over eight figures doing that.
