5 Key Takeaways: 

1. I can't be inauthentic in what I do. Everything I do must come from the heart and the soul of Dan, or else I am not going to be proud of it. 

2. During this time where you actually have no, you have less clients, you don't have as many as many people joining your program? Are you going to bet on yourself at the worst possible time? You know, or are you going to, you know, let's just say take the easy route, go work for someone else, get the salary, get, you know, some equity and, and kind of go against the values that you said.

3. So I feel a lot of people are so focused on the outcome, they're so focused on losing weight, they're so focused on actually, even when you're focused on losing weight, that's like focusing on revenue in a company, you can make a million dollars, but what if you're giving up $999,000?

And I'm going to, I'm going to scratch your back. And hopefully, I'm going to ask you for something a little bit later down the line, and you'll scratch and then you'll be able to scratch mine. But the whole process of networking is let's just call it what it is building friendships. Right? And I don't ever think about asking for favors from my friends ever. I actually look at them as a person. And I'm like, dude, I want to connect with you as a father, as a friend, as a man, as you know, as even as a business owner sometimes, but I want to connect with you
