Jack Mueller of Virginia competed for the championship in the 125. The Hokies had the best finish of ACC teams coming in at #11. Sweet Sixteen Will and Jim break down performances so far of the five conference teams making it to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen. Are Duke's 'Ooops' moments a red flag? Are the Blue Devils ripe for the picking in the tournament? Virginia Tech begins to find their rhythm with Robinson. Will it be enough to take down Duke? Virginia gets a monkey off their back and learn what it's like to have fun playing basketball again. Get ready for a snail's pace game against Oregon. North Carolina is exciting the pundits. Are the Tar Heels silently easing their way to another championship? Beware Auburn and a hot hand from the arc. Florida State finding their second wind is coming on strong when it matters most.

So listen below to hear how Russell used the lessons he learned from wrestling and applied them to his business and how you can too. ---Transcript--- Hey everybody, this is Russell Brunson and welcome to Marketing In Your Car. Hey everyone, it's been a little while. I've been out traveling the world, gallivanting. I don't know if that's really even the right way to use that word, but it sounded cool today. I was in New York all last week, for the NCAA wrestling tournament with my dad. If you guys listen you probably knew that already, and it was great. I was planning on doing a bunch of podcasts from there, I actually saw one of my favorite marketing people in the world. Daegan Smith was there. We sat by each other for most tournaments. I was going to share some podcasts with you guys and him, but it just never happened. It was too crazy of a week, and too much wrestling, too much New Yorking, too much good stuff happening. Anyway, I'm back now to report and share with you guys some cool stuff. I hope that things are going well. We are a little over a week away from Funnel Hacking Live. We are completely sold out which is a nice feeling to have. So this week I gotta go and work on my presentations, I got some cool stuff I'm going to be sharing with you guys and with our community. I just wanted to make sure that it's amazing. We were going to launch Funnel University last week, and then this week, and then decided to just kind of put it on hold until after the event and that way we can focus on making the event flawless. Then we will have Funnel University when we get back. So it's all done and ready and it looks amazing. Our survey software is awesome, just lots of good things. So that is kind of the game plan from here. So I wanted to share with you guys probably what I think is the most important lesson I learned from the wrestling tournament this weekend, which will relate to you guys even if you're not wrestling people, which you all should be. That's an argument and a sales pitch for another day. So the NCAA wrestling tournament is amazing. IT's more like the world championship, in fact, Coach Shultz, if you guys have seen Foxcatcher, Mark Shultz, who is the main character in that movie, was my wrestling coach at BYU, and I actually saw him this weekend which was really fun. But one thing that he said is that the NCAA wrestling tournament, because this style of wrestling is only done in America, he said it's pretty much like the Olympics, the World Championship, which it is. IT's kind of a big deal. It's like the Super Bowl of our style of wrestling, which is cool. The best athletes from all the conferences around the country all come to this tournament and it's a big deal. And it's really big for wrestling, it's on TV, which is the only we get on TV ever. So that's pretty cool, it was just awesome. We're in this state, we're in Madison Square Garden, and the entire stadium is just filled with wrestling fans, which is cool. We had tickets we bought that were on the 12th row, it was right in the middle of Hawkeye fans, which if you know anything about wrestling, you know that Iowa Hawkeyes had a dynasty for the last two decades, three decades. Dan Gable was their coach and built this huge thing and so they're fans are kind of insane. So we were stuck right  in the middle of all these Hawkeye fans that were just going nuts the whole time, which made it really fun too. What I wanted to share with you guys, at the NCAA wrestling tournament, for whatever reason, there are tons and tons of upsets, which are the fun ones. You get to see on the big monitor up top, “the number 14 seat's wrestling the number 1 seat and somehow this dude wins.” How does the 14th seat, who's got like whatever, 20-10 record, come in against an undefeated guy and beat him? How do these things happen? I was thinking about that and talking to Daegan a lot about it. One part of it is interesting is belief. It's just weird, if you believe you can win, you can win. But it's all mental, it's all this belief. Do you believe you can actually do it? We watched this one guy, he was undefeated, hadn't lost the entire season, or excuse me, he only once the entire season, and he lost to this guy who wasn't that good, wasn't ranked that high, and they met in the semi-finals and I was watching it and I was like, I think this guy's got a shot of winning the underdog. The only reason why is on paper this guy should not even be close to the number one seat. It's not even close, but because he beat him earlier in the year, which was kind of a fluke, he had this belief that, “I can beat him.” And because he had the belief he could do it, and sure enough he almost beat him, he lost, but it was crazy close. I have had matches in my career where I on paper should have lost to people, but because I had thought I could win, I had this belief for whatever reason, that guy looks weird or whatever, I had this belief that I just knew I could win. I was able to win. It was weird. I remember this one time I was wrestling, there was this guy in my Freestyle Greco club who I beat all the time, didn't have much respect for him as wrestler. He wasn't that good. One day I'm at this tournament, and I'm wrestling this other kid from some other state, the kid was good, we're having a close match, and I'm actually losing going into the third period. My Freestyle Greco coach, I guess there's not periods in Freestyle Greco, sorry it's been a while. During one of the injury breaks or injury time or something, my coach came out and tried to tell me some stuff, he's like, “Hey you need to work on your level change or whatever. By the way, Matt beat this kid  by 8 last match.” And instantly I was like, “Matt beat him by 8.” In my head all the sudden, this kid in my head was no good, and I had a perfect belief that I could beat him, and the last minute and half or whatever it was, I came out there and I tech-falled him. Because all the sudden…..it was the same match. I was struggling this whole match and suddenly my belief switched in my head to this kid should be really easy for me and then he was. There's this weird thing about belief, it just beats all odds. If you believe you can win, you can win. I remember last year, NCAA tournament there was a kid that was number 4 team seat, and he became a national champ, and I posted on my Facebook wall and I forgot about it until yesterday, because yesterday it popped up saying, “last year here's a memory you posted.” And the thing I posted was picture of the kid, and they're interviewing him at the end. They said, “You were the 14th seat, how in the world did you come here and win this?” he said, “When I got here I looked at the brackets and I looked at all these people and I said, this is who I have to beat to be a national champ so I came and beat them.” It was just pure belief. Anyway, I thought that was important for all of you guys because it's not skill, it's not talent it's not a record, it's not anything, it's belief. And that same thing is true in your business. I think the reason why I win a lot of times, is I just have such belief that what we're doing is going to change the world, and it just does. So my first question for you is,  how much belief do you have?n Do have belief you can win. So that's question number one, the second thing I want to bring up and this is the second half of the equation. Is being able to look at a loss and not looking at this devastating thing, but looking at it and trying to figure out what you need to change to win. Good example, in 174 lbs finals, which you guys should Google this match, it's amazing. Beau Nichols, from Penn State, undefeated the whole year, was supposed to win the tournament, again this other kid, who is a true freshman from Oklahoma, this true freshman had lost to Beau Nichols three times during the year. In fact, in the big tens he got pinned by him. So he no shot of winning, no way he was going to win. He comes into this finals match and him and Beau Nichols lock up, he launches him, throws him to his back, almost pins him, gets a bunch of near-fall points and then Beau ends up trying to play catch up the entire wrestling match and ends up losing, just huge upset. True freshman wins this thing. Everyone's going nuts. It was amazing. One of those matches, I stood up and I stood amongst all the Iowa guys who were not standing and I gave him a round of applause. To come back and to lose to this kid, the best kid arguably in the world right, and to have to lose to him three times this season, to come back and win, that's huge. What is it? What causes that? I remember my junior year in high school, I worked hard all my sophomore that summer long, I had gone Freestyle and Greco and we worked all day long, I just knew my senior year, I would be state champ. Go out there, first match against a kid that had taken 2nd the year before, we go out there to wrestle and I had belief that I could win, but this kid was better than me. And he beat me. It was devastating for me. I knew I wasn't going to be state champ that year, and I lost my very first match. My dad had recorded the match and then after the match, my dad was rewinding and watching it, rewinding and watching it. My next match happened and he started recording, and he actually recorded over the first match except for about 13 seconds. So we had 13 seconds of footage of this match against this guy named, Nick Fresquez. So my dad, every day for the next four months watched that 13 seconds of film to see what he was doing and how it was working, and he'd do this little funky moves on me. We'd go with my dad and watch this match all weekend long and practice the next week, and we'd drill it, drill it, drill it. And we'd come back and I remember my dad watching this little clip over and over and over again, because it's all we had. It's all we had to pick apart what he'd done to beat me. And we focused on that all season land, and I actually wrestled this kid in the state finals. And in the State finals, not only was he not able to do that move on me, but that's actually the move I used against him to win the state championship, which is kind of a cool turn of events. But what it was all about is, I lost, after I lost I looked at why I lost, and we made adjustments. This is the key, this is why wrestling was such a big important thing for me. There's some people that are just amazing wrestlers. They come in and they just win all the time, I was never that guy, so I would usually go to a season or whatever, I'd wrestle somebody, and I could beat most people, but against the best people I would lose. So I'd lose and be like, “Wow, why did I lose?” I lost because my elbow's right, I lost because I was overextended, I lost because I took a bad shot, I lost because of this…and we looked at what the reasons why we lost and then we went back to the room and we practiced and we practiced, and we made adjustments and took away those things that they had the last time they beat me and came back and wrestled again. Sometimes I'd lose to them a second time and it'd be closer, I'd look, “Why'd I lose this time?” make those adjustments, make those tweaks, make those changes and come back and eventually we would win. That's the kind of wrestler I was. I was not, again an amazing athlete, but I was amazing at looking at why I lost and making adjustments and come back a second time stronger and harder. So what happened in this finals match, this guy had beaten him three times during the year, in fact he pinned him two weeks earlier, and he looked at that. “What mistakes did I make? What adjustments do I need to make?” And he came back and was able to beat him in the national finals. So this is the 2nd lesson. I see this all the time in our business, in fact, I'd say with our Inner Circle members, this is where I spend the majority of my time, they go and they create a sales funnel, they create a sales letter, they create all these things, and they go out and they launch it and it doesn't work. Then they're devastated emotionally, “I can't even handle this, I lost this thing. I spent all this time on it, and it didn't work.” And they're shattered, and I get  it, but because they haven't had, I mean most people don't have a chance to go through wrestling or sports like that where you get beat on and you don't have an opportunity to go and just quit, you get beat on and you have to go look at the film and figure out why did you get beat on and you make the tweaks and the changes. Same thing is true for us in marketing. We put out a campaign and we launch it and 90% of the time it doesn't produce the way I wanted it to at first. We get beat. So I have to come back and make adjustments. I look at the numbers across the whole thing. How much did we spend on ads? Was it high? Was it low? Was it good? How many people opt-in on the landing page? Was it high? Was it low? Was it good? How many people bought off the sales video or the sales letter or the webinar? And we look at every single piece of this process, just like I would in a wrestling match. We break it apart. “What was I doing wrong? Were my elbows out? Was I overextended? Was I shooting far? Is my headline not captivating? Are people not opting in? Are people not buying? Are people not showing up to the webinar?” I'm looking at all the things that went wrong in the process and I'm making little tiny adjustments. I'm not going and reinventing the wheel from the ground up saying “This sucks.” And throw it away and restart.  That's not how it works. It all comes off of tiny little adjustments. So initially when we created our first sales funnel, we're trying to make the best possible thing we got, then we launch. People always ask me, “Can you critique this before we launch?” I'm not going to critique it before you launch it, go launch it.  We have no idea what's going to happen until you're put in a competition, until you see how you react to the real world, see how people react to you. I think it drives a lot of my inner circle members crazy sometimes. I'm not going to critique it until we drive some traffic, I don't want to screw things up. It could be perfect, it could be far off, but we need to let traffic tell us. I don't want people telling us their opinions, who are coming and looking, “Oh, this is my opinion. You should tweak this.” No let people vote with their credit card. The only thing that matters is people voting with their credit card. If they are willing to pull their credit card out and give you those digits, then you're right. That's how you win this match. That's how you win this game. I never give people critiques ahead of time, I have them launch it, we drive traffic, spend a couple of hundred bucks and then we look at what happened, and then we make the adjustments, and then we come back for the second match stronger. The second match we may not win either, that's okay you look at the numbers again, you look at every step in this funnel, this page, what's happening. We then make some tweaks and make some adjustments. Then we come back again and make some tweaks and adjustments, then we come back again and we keep doing that until we have a winner. Neuracel, our supplement did not win the first time. In fact, if you look at the numbers, it lost the dual meet, it lost tournament. It lost the conference. It lost the semi's. But then in the end if it wouldn't matter. I think Neuracel's like the seventh or eighth variation of it, that's the one that took off and won. Same thing with Clicklfunnels, when we launched that, it wasn't the first, second, third or fourth. It was the fifth, sixth or seventh variation that one. So you guys gotta think about that. IT's not throwing out the whole thing. IT's looking at what's happening. Looking at the process and making tweaks and adjusting until you're right. That's how you win at wrestling, that's how you win at business. So there you go guys. Two things that I hope will help you from my weekend. Number one is belief, number two is getting out there and having the match and making the adjustments you lined to make to win. And if you do those two things in your business, just like in wrestling, just like in anything that's how you win. Alright you guys, I'm at the office. I've been sitting in the parking lot for like 5 minutes because I was so excited about sharing this stuff with you guys. But now, I gotta get back in the game. I got a big match today, got a lot of work to do. Appreciate you guys, have an amazing day and I'll talk to you all again soon.

I spent all this time on it, and it didn’t work.” And they’re shattered, and I get  it, but because they haven’t had, I mean most people don’t have a chance to go through wrestling or sports like that where you get beat on and you don’t have an opportunity to go and just quit, you get beat on and you have to go look at the film and figure out why did you get beat on and you make the tweaks and the changes. Same thing is true for us in marketing. We put out a campaign and we launch it and 90% of the time it doesn’t produce the way I wanted it to at first. We get beat. So I have to come back and make adjustments. I look at the numbers across the whole thing. How much did we spend on ads? Was it high? Was it low? Was it good? How many people opt-in on the landing page? Was it high? Was it low? Was it good? How many people bought off the sales video or the sales letter or the webinar? And we look at every single piece of this process, just like I would in a wrestling match. We break it apart. “What was I doing wrong? Were my elbows out? Was I overextended? Was I shooting far? Is my headline not captivating? Are people not opting in? Are people not buying? Are people not showing up to the webinar?” I’m looking at all the things that went wrong in the process and I’m making little tiny adjustments. I’m not going and reinventing the wheel from the ground up saying “This sucks.” And throw it away and restart.  That’s not how it works. It all comes off of tiny little adjustments. So initially when we created our first sales funnel, we’re trying to make the best possible thing we got, then we launch. People always ask me, “Can you critique this before we launch?” I’m not going to critique it before you launch it, go launch it.  We have no idea what’s going to happen until you’re put in a competition, until you see how you react to the real world, see how people react to you. I think it drives a lot of my inner circle members crazy sometimes. I’m not going to critique it until we drive some traffic, I don’t want to screw things up. It could be perfect, it could be far off, but we need to let traffic tell us. I don’t want people telling us their opinions, who are coming and looking, “Oh, this is my opinion. You should tweak this.” No let people vote with their credit card. The only thing that matters is people voting with their credit card. If they are willing to pull their credit card out and give you those digits, then you’re right. That’s how you win this match. That’s how you win this game. I never give people critiques ahead of time, I have them launch it, we drive traffic, spend a couple of hundred bucks and then we look at what happened, and then we make the adjustments, and then we come back for the second match stronger. The second match we may not win either, that’s okay you look at the numbers again, you look at every step in this funnel, this page, what’s happening. We then make some tweaks and make some adjustments. Then we come back again and make some tweaks and adjustments, then we come back again and we keep doing that until we have a winner. Neuracel, our supplement did not win the first time. In fact, if you look at the numbers, it lost the dual meet, it lost tournament. It lost the conference. It lost the semi’s. But then in the end if it wouldn’t matter. I think Neuracel’s like the seventh or eighth variation of it, that’s the one that took off and won. Same thing with Clicklfunnels, when we launched that, it wasn’t the first, second, third or fourth. It was the fifth, sixth or seventh variation that one. So you guys gotta think about that. IT’s not throwing out the whole thing. IT’s looking at what’s happening. Looking at the process and making tweaks and adjusting until you’re right. That’s how you win at wrestling, that’s how you win at business. So there you go guys. Two things that I hope will help you from my weekend. Number one is belief, number two is getting out there and having the match and making the adjustments you lined to make to win. And if you do those two things in your business, just like in wrestling, just like in anything that’s how you win. Alright you guys, I’m at the office. I’ve been sitting in the parking lot for like 5 minutes because I was so excited about sharing this stuff with you guys. But now, I gotta get back in the game. I got a big match today, got a lot of work to do. Appreciate you guys, have an amazing day and I’ll talk to you all again soon.

There are two types of people in this world… In today's episode Russell talks about going to the NCAA Wrestling Tournament with his dad. He also talks about important lessons he learned from his dad. Here are 3 cool things you can look forward to in this episode: Why you shouldn't do box jumps at the end of leg day when you work out. Why you want to make sure you are the kind of person who finds solutions. And why being proud of your work is so important. So listen below to hear two important lessons Russell learned from his dad and how they have helped him in his life. ---Transcript--- Good morning everybody. I hope you guys are doing amazing. My name is Russell Brunson and I want to welcome you to Marketing In Your Car. Alright guys, it's a beautiful day, beautiful day. I'm excited. I got my haircut yesterday as some of you guys heard, which is nice. I wanted to add, I was thinking about as I was getting my haircut, and there was one other thing. I was telling you guys about my OCD with socks and stuff. I realized another reason why I hate socks. I'm going to talk about one more thing with my OCD-ness and then we'll get back to business. So you know when you have pants on, like Levis and shoes and socks, you have white socks underneath right. And you sit and when you're standing your pants are the right length most of the time, but sometimes you sit and they come up and you can see your white socks. And it feels like your high watering. I hate that too. When you have sandals on and flip flops and you sit down and your pants are a little bit higher, nobody knows. You got white socks on, everybody knows. So another reason why I hate socks. So now that we are over that, let's get back to work. This morning was awesome. I woke up early and went out there and was doing squats and legs. Had a good leg day, and at the end of leg day I thought I'm going to do box jumps because that would be a great way to destroy my legs at the end of leg day. I learned a very valuable lesson that is important for all of you guys who do legs and that is, don't do box jumps at the end of leg day. Because somewhere in the ten, you know I did three sets of ten box jumps, the higher ones, At was at three box jumps left and I slipped and smacked my shin in two spots on the box and I'm bleeding, and I got a goose bump the size of a golf ball on my leg. And then right above it is bleeding like crazy. So that was not fun. So another lesson to learn today. Today I've actually got two important lessons that actually are useful, as opposed to the ones I gave you yesterday and today. I hope that you made it through yesterday and now you guys are prepared for some good stuff. I'm going to teach you guys two lessons that I learned from my dad that have been vital to everything in my life. I think that they are helpful for you and for your kids, and for your everybody who you work with and have a chance to serve. So I've been thinking about this a lot because my dad and I, next week are actually going to the NCAA wrestling tournament. So as you guys know I'm kind of obsessed with wrestling. With wrestling, we're not on TV, we don't get people to show up at our matches. IT's kind of like a sport that gets very little love right. So the once a year when it's a big deal and we're actually on ESPN, maybe it's ESPN 2 I don't even know, but we're actually on TV is the NCAA wrestling tournament. So a couple of years ago my wife and my dad surprised me. They booked me a trip out to the NCAA's. I didn't know, they basically said, here's airplane tickets, you're going somewhere. And I kind of knew, I'm like, well I know NCAA tournaments this weekend, everyone in the airport's got cauliflower ear, kind of know what's happening right. So I'm getting there and they were like, “When you land in Denver, open this package but don't open it before.” So I land in Denver I open the package and there's two tickets to the NCAA tournament, and it says meet your dad at terminal whatever, and it was just the coolest gift, I had no idea he was coming. And I went over to that terminal, and my dad was there and we went to the NCA together and had a great time. That was probably 5 or 6 years ago. I've gone back once or twice since them. Deagan Smith, my man, invited me a couple of times. We, I think two NCAA's ago, he got me front row tickets. So I flew in, got front row tickets to the finals, we watched the finals together, and I flew out, which was so cool. This year Deagan was like, “Hey you going?” and I was like, “I don't think I'm going to go this year. I just have so much stuff happening for the live event. You know, if my dad went with me, it'd be worth it.” So I texted my dad, “Hey dad, if I get tickets to the NCAA, you in?” and he texted back “Yes.” I was like, “Cool.” That was before church a couple of weeks ago. So after church I called him like, “Hey I just wanted to make sure you're in.” and he was like, “We better be going, I've been telling everybody that I'm going to the NCAA tournament.” So I'm like, “Sweet man.” So we bought tickets. It's in Madison Square Garden this year in New York. So we got a place downtown where we're going to be staying. We got 12th row seats, we were trying to get front row seats, but they were gone. So we got 12th row seats, which is pretty sweet. It's going to be fun, so I'm excited and looking forward to that. So I've just been thinking about my dad a lot and actually called him on, what was it, my birthday, Tuesday was my birthday. He called me on my birthday and we talked for an hour and it was super fun. So I started thinking about him and just cool stuff I learned from him. There's two lessons that I think were really important that I wanted to share with you guys. Lesson number one, my dad used to always tell me when we'd have our little dad conversations, you know when we're driving or whatever. I don't even know how it came up, but I remember him saying this multiple times and it having a really big impact on me. I remember just always hearing this thought in my head, but he used to tell me, he said “there's two kinds of people in this world Russell. There are people who are really good at finding problems, that's the majority of the world. The second kind of person are people that are really good at finding answers. You wanna make sure that you're the type of person that finds answers.” And I remember hearing that and I thought it was cool, but it didn't make sense to me then. Then I fast forward and I start this business and I start doing things and I realize that's how the majority of the world is. They're finding problems all the time right. They come to you here's a problem, here's another problem, here's a problem and they're just all about finding problems. It's about as hard to find a problem as it is to find a solution. As I started this business and I realized that people always have these problems I thought, I went back to my dad's lesson and I l thought, You know what, there's a lot of problems out there and I don't want to be the dude who always finds problems. I'm going to be the guy that finds solutions. Man that's served me my whole life. It's served me so much in my business. You look at why we create products, we're creating answers to people's problems. So problems are everywhere. We just gotta figure out how to solve those problems and people will give you insane amounts of money for that. I look at my coaching program, I look at our software, I look at all the stuff we do, it's all, we're the second person. We're the people that are finding solutions or finding answers.  That little nugget that he gave me probably when I was ten or eleven years old and I repeated it a few times throughout my childhood, has meant the world to me. So that's the first one, I'll repeat that. There are two types of people, people who find problems and people who find solutions. Make sure you're the type of person who finds solutions. So that was number one, which is so cool on so many different levels. So there you go. Number two, this is a lesson that was a lot more subtle, and I guess it was a lesson at first I thought was more of a guilt trip, but man it worked. My parents were really good at giving us chores and making sure that we worked and were producers inside of our family. It wasn't like we didn't have work to do, which I'm grateful for, I hated it at the time, but love it now. So one Saturday, as they're giving out the chores to everyone, for the Saturday day, my chore was to go and clean his car. So I went and I washed the outside of it, and I washed the inside of it. I'm spraying the windows, doing all that kind of stuff, and then I came in to my dad and said, “Okay dad I'm done. Do you want to come look at it?” and he looked at me and said, I can't remember exactly, but basically he said, cause I asked him, “You want to come look at it and make sure it's good and I can be done?” and he said, “Are you proud of it?” and I go, “Am I proud of it?” He said, “If you're proud of it, then you're done.” And I remember thinking, huh, am I proud of this? I was thinking in my head, I know that I cut corners, I was trying to get done so I could go goof off. He's like, if you're proud of it, you're done. I remember thinking, I'm like,  “let me go check again dad. I'm going to go back and check.” So I went back again and I started looking around and I realized that I wasn't that proud of it. I had just gone halfway and did a couple of things, so I went back in the car and I did it right. I did it in a spot where I was proud of it. I came back and I said, “Dad I'm done. Do you want to come look?” He said, “Are you proud of it?” I said, “I am.” And he said, “Okay then you're done.” He didn't even have to look at it, he knew if I was proud of it that I had done it. And I think that, again another lesson that served me my whole life. I look at what I do in wrestling, in business, in parenting, in all the different things that comes back to me. “Are you proud of it. Did you do a good enough job that you are proud of it, and if you did then you're done. If not, then go back and do it til you're proud of it.” Anyway, just kind of a little thing that has meant the world to me. There you go, there's two amazing lessons from my dad. He's just an amazing guy, amazing entrepreneur, amazing father, amazing friend. Someone I look up to. I'm excited next week to spend some time with him, it's going to be amazing. Hopefully those lessons that have meant so much to me have meant a lot to you as well. It's something you guys can take from this podcast. Alright guys that's it for today, I'm at the office. Got an amazing day today, and I'm excited. So I appreciate you all, thanks for listening. If you've enjoyed this, please share with your friends, your families, anyone you think would benefit from it. Post it on Facebook, Tweet it out. Instagram it. I don't even know if you can Instagram it. I'm becoming an Instragramer, I don't even know how that works. Anyway, if you've enjoyed this then it's your obligation and duty to share it. I'd appreciate that.  And that's it you guys, thanks so much for everything, have an amazing day and I'll talk to you all soon.
