--- TRANSCRIPT EXCERPT the the time when the world crashed for you, right? in Covid. So did, did Jenny kind of help you through that? Cause I think you were going there a little bit or was it just the fact that the market turned and like we all came out of this smooth cuz like you said, you know, dealing with like, and I'm just gonna say this right now because like within our business right now, it's really, really hard and I see a lot of other, my friends thriving incredibly, right? especially like today, like our friend we were just talking about, you know, he's in like the remodel business of and do ti stuff and he's like, I have more shit than I didn't even know what to do with. And we're over here going, uh, right. So like from a mental health capacity, like there's days for sure when I'm like, dude, I don't even wanna get outta bed, come in right now. Right. But isn't that why you created Bison Ventures? Like, head into the storm, let's do this. We're into the storm, but it in where we're stuck in it right now, , hey. And, and, and when it is affecting so many different people, and this is like, this is like something that, like the people have been in the business for 20 years, haven't seen, um, and, or I shouldn't say 20 years cause obviously they saw the uh, oh eight, but for a long time. So I guess I'm just getting back to the question. It's like, what did you do? Like, how did it or just kind of work its way out? You know what it was, uh, I realized that managing remote, I'm terrible at that. Um, I realized that I'm a people person, um, and I wasn't getting a whole lot of that. Um, I started drinking early in the day. I was taking like two naps, which was not like me. Right. Although I, if you gave me the green light to drink early in the day, I'd do it, but I I'm, but not that Tuesday. Yeah. Yeah. But correct. Um, and it was just, it was really hard cuz every deal that I was working on just stalled and I'm concerned about my team, you know, there's the discussions on Furloughing or are we gonna let people go? And it was just kind of a, it was just a hard time, um, kind of a gut punch where I was just kinda like, Hey, I've worked really hard to try to do this Right. Like, why, why are you out to get me and so many other people? But that was my mentality to, you know, the big guy upstairs. Um, so it was tough. I, I, uh, I went into some like, pretty gnarly depression, um, started dealing with like anxiety, like some mood swings kind of deal. And thank God for my wife. I mean, she's the glue that kept everything together. Like when she would start to loose and I'm like, Hey honey, this is not good. Like, you you are the person Yeah. You are the person that keeps this whole thing together. And then not to mention having like a four-year-old and a six-year-old sitting at, you know, in your small home and you're sitting there trying to do zooms and try to salvage your deals. Yeah. I mean, like, I remember one time, like stellar dad moment, I'm like screaming at my son. Sue's six years old, taking a math class, being like, I don't get this. I was like, I'm not a fucking teacher. My, my wife's like, what is going on? I was like, how do you want me, like, what do you expect me to do? Like, let me go do this. Like, yeah. So anyways, um, we made it through it. And, and when, um, the blessing, um, that happened was in June right when everything started going bonkers, there was a camp called the Beginner's Ed Sports Training, best sports camp. And, uh, they, they said, Hey, we're gonna open this up for kids. So we dropped our kids off and we went to work all day and our office was officially closed at Cressa. And I was like, well, if nobody's there, I'm gonna go in. And just being able to get back in the rhythm of work and not being stuck in my bedroom for 18 hours a day. Yeah. It just, it changed, it started to change that. And also therapy and, you know, um, you know, drugs.
