I think that would be critical and I think that also helped me as my journey of buying a business as well. I tend to be executing well on the acquisition itself. Right.

Short excerpts only — hear the full conversation on the publisher's site.
And I think actually my viewers experience helped me a lot on the sales and marketing side of things where like I'm, I became more outspoken and be willing to actually connect with people which I think now, I think that's almost like the key to success right now in a entrepreneurial world, being purely a good executioner is not going to cut it.
I think you need someone, you just need to be, throw yourself out there, be able to connect and this is where the opportunities is going to be. Right. I think this is going to be what I think would need to break out that cookie cutter career ladder to do something on your own. Well, you're well on your way, Ken.
Thank you for answering all that, all those questions. Okay, so let's, let's quickly hear the, this intermediate step or this progression as you described it, between leaving Coinbase and buying a business, which was your going in, getting into real estate. We'll go, we'll go through this quickly so that we can hear about the business you bought.
Yeah, sounds good. Just give a super quick story about that.
So yeah, after the layoff I leaned on to the real estate world of things. I was being more passive back then. So after the layoff I decided to pursue an active career.
So I got all my licenses, the real estate license, agent license, the mortgage license, start dabbling into fix and flip as well. So just trying to, you know, keep the promise with my wife. You want to be, launch a career with good enough income with this new thing.
Right. So I stopped buying stuff for other people. I, I do mortgage, I find projects fix and flip. So just doing all of that and in a year or so I think I kind of ramp up to the income around like 100 to 200 grand.
Or so. So 100 to 200 grand after of income. After a year of doing. Yep. Of doing fix and flip.
Being an actual real estate agent for clients. Being a mortgage broker, your own real estate investing. So just getting your hands in a lot of different pies in real estate land.
Okay. Yes.
Yeah. So kind of. Yeah. That you know, did that for a year and we kind of, you know, did that reassessment as a family. Right. You know, what works and what doesn't work. We think that if you're going to continue the trajectory of being in real estate, I think we can get back to where I was making maybe in three to five years in a stable sense.
