You look at before saying, let's make a move into. I don't know Maritime industry. It's make a move into space, like what exactly do you look at before you hop into those in dog? Just yeah, I always liked the dearest to trade. So if it's a startup that's courting me that wants me to join them. I come on as part of the team, I don't work as an outsider.

And I start to look at and analyzed pipeline to print business projections and and evaluations and often times, they startups create valuations that are not sustainable, not realistic. They go to the market and they try to raise money then they run out of money when they're trying to raise money again. And before, you know, it, they're deluded of their own company and then they're miserable. So I like to immediately come in and say, okay, let's think of it like glorified matchmaking, you guys are going and doing X, Y, and Z. I'm holding all these companies resources and opportunities. How can we make you more valuable? How can we make you more profitable and more importantly, how can we show you how to make money off? Today's world, is the best time. I've never said this before, but to take on debt, you know, all these opportunities out whether they're banking deals, there's, there's free money basically out there. And if you had revenues and you had projected job, As you can be able to go out and borrow money, you don't give up your equity and you're able to still have profitability. So, to answer your question, I go in as part of the team and make sure we can work well together and make sure that everything is on the up-and-up. I want to make sure everything that they're saying is legitimate. See what they're missing. What can make them more successful and then I start to give them the resources they need.

You know you're sitting after a long day of work you're like man I wish there was more young people like like me in this space to kind of figure. You can kind of get an easier to start than I did. What exactly led to the this motivation for starting in light. Yeah, you know, the motivation for starting on light came from so many different factors and I think all of those factors are common to everyone having experienced that in Industry already. You know, the number one question that everyone gets in the industry is, how do I get into Esports right? How do I find a mentor in a sports? How do I even learn about what Esports means and what are the jobs even available? And so for me, I wanted to answer those questions but it was just not scalable through Twitter DMS or LinkedIn messages off. You know. It's hard to carry on a conversation with people asking the same question. So for me, it was just a matter of. Okay, how do I try making this scalable? How do I help a lot of people with the knowledge that I know and the knowledge that a lot of my colleagues and friends in the industry also know. So how do we come together collectively to share our knowledge? In a scalable way to everyone else collectively? Yep. Want to know the answers, right? And obviously there's a ton of different ways to do that, you know, like podcasts and YouTube videos and things like that. And for me, I wanted to also make sure that the quality was important. You know, the quality was there and I, I'm an introvert at heart. So I really prefer smaller communities and not be intimate ones. And really working with people either one-on-one or in a small group setting. And so that was sort of the way it was leaning towards it. You know, I'm not really a Creator at home I guess in the general sense so it's hard for me to think about hey I'll just make a YouTube video and put it out in the void, right? Like it feels like I'm just like screaming into the void but when when I thought about what I'm doing with and light, it's more of, you know, thinking about the community that I'm building with it and really fostering that growth with people in the right points of their Journeys, helping them Or they are helping them, get to the next step.
