Nah, always, man. Always. So we were literally just chatting, and you were talking about how wild, crazy, cool, and insane it is to, like, to meet someone with a similar passion, a similar story, a similar purpose. So, no, I kind of want to open that floor and open that door. Let's talk about Elon G. Man. Like, for those that don't know, like, what's your because, what's your purpose? What's your drive? What's your mission?
Elon G (2:10)
I would say my because is my mom. So when I was about, I say eight years old, my parents got divorced. And, you know, my dad, he had a good job. He was working very hard working person, and he always. He went after what he wanted. Right. When my parents got divorced, my mom was kind of left on her own. Obviously, she was never really the one with the job, so she took care of my brother and I. She worked minimum wage. And, you know, I have memories of, you know, waking up for middle school. And, you know, she would have to wake up my brother. She'd, like, feed him, she'd get him to school. Then she would come back just to let me sleep for, like, 20 extra minutes. She would take care of us, get us to school. Then she'd have to work her job, or she was earning minimum wage pay for all the stuff, pay for food. I have no clue, Mick. I have no clue how she did it, but that is 100% my. Because I think a lot of my life revolves around the idea that I want to make sure that my mom a never has to go through that again. But also in the future with my kids, my wife, my family, that I can be the person there for them to be able to get them out of financial burden. I saw I was very hard on my mom, and I had to make a hard choice, especially the last couple of years, with the idea that, you know, I have the power, in my opinion, to help her, you know, have the conversations on the podcast, learn new things. You know, I'm young. I think it's. It puts me in a good spot for people to want to teach me things, right? To mentor me. So just being able to learn from people, get as much as I can, you know, squeeze the sponge of information out of people.
