I reached a point in my life where I didn't know what I could control anymore. I was like, I can hate everything. $20,000 in debt, $5,000 overdraft, nothing going for me. I'm addicted to substances. I'm drinking all the time. I need to change. Six months later, met my best friend and business partner that we've generated, what, 47 million in sales now? And I met my wife. All because I just focused on me. You are in control of your situation at all times. But a lot of people like to relinquish that control because it stems from not being taught self responsibility and self awareness. It all stems back to the way that you were raised. And I don't think enough men are being told that they need to become dogs. Like most of these go. I grind for my family. If you grind it for your family, then you would spend time with your family.

All right, guys, today I got someone who is doing big things in the business space, the online space, and came from something that self made. A very inspiring Friday, I got my man Cole the Wolf De Silva in the building. What's up, Cole?
Cole Lewis Da Silva (0:53)
What's up, brother? How you doing, dude?
Rich Summers (0:54)
I'm doing amazing, man. So your partner's Brian Mark and you live north of the border up there in Kelowna?
Cole Lewis Da Silva (1:00)
Yes, sir.

What is it like living in Kelowna, Canada?
Cole Lewis Da Silva (1:03)
It's actually pretty good. It's pretty good. So again, came from Ontario, Thunder Bay. Very, very cold. Boonies, cold like 45 minutes into the country. Grew up with a lot of snow all the time. Moved to Calgary, Alberta, Mid Canada. Again, very cold. Kelowna is like Kelowna Fornia. That's literally what they call it because you're on a lake, there's barely any snow ever. It's sunny all the time. It's the only reason why I can justify living in Canada while getting absolutely dog walked by the government in taxes.

So I got to ask you, your boy, Dan Martell, he's been on the podcast a couple of times. I know he's up there in Kelowna. Do you. I know Kelowna is a small town, relatively speaking. Do you guys all see each other every time you guys go out to eat, restaurants, coffee, the gym?
