Jason Sherman is my amazing authority today and he has got an amazing background and I had to ask him about this before this interview and discussion. He's got curtains that look like the ancient world map. He's got superheroes, he's got clippings, he's got all sorts of gadgets. It looks like phones of the past. I don't know if he's got beepers in there. What are all these collectibles? Jason, I, I would, I would pity your spouse of when or how do you move, but I guess you've, you've already got your dream home.

I got it figured out though, because they're all in display cases, so I can just pick up the display case and take it. But it's, it's basically my entire life's collection. So Since I was 8 years old, every single gadget, phone, music device, camera, toy or otherwise that I bought and owned and used I then collected and kept in good condition and everything still works.

That's amazing. I mean, each one could be a story. Is that a sock em robot behind your right?
C (1:40)
Well, not Rockham Sockham, but it's, it's, it's an old robot. Yeah, from the 80s. Yeah.

Okay. I thought that might have been Mike Tyson, you know. No, he was dubbed the Rock em Sock em robot. For many, he would have been the poster child for it in terms of build and everything. And that's what I grew up with, the Rock Em Sock em. And you're an author. Tell us about your book.

My book is strap on your boots, which I wrote it in response to the quote unquote gurus that have master classes on how to be an entrepreneur. Their book was always very situational, Right. They got a million dollar investment from their uncle, bought 20 apartment buildings, and that's how they became wealthy. And I'm like, well, I can't do that. That's not going to work for me. Another guy built some software that he sold to Google when he was 20, back when Google was still buying software off the cuff like that 30 years ago or 20 years ago or whatever. So I felt the books were very unrealistic and I wanted to write Something completely opposite, something realistic, duplicable. You can actually replicate this stuff in the book and no money needed, just your work. And it was based on the experience that I had running startups of my own over the course of 10 years. So I knew the strategies, tactics and methodologies in the book were working because I was using them. And that's what turned into the book.
