And Carl, your own background in sailing included a freak accident on a boat, which you nearly had your foot amputated for.
1:42
Yeah, so in 2021, I was working on a boat in the Met and my foot got caught in a line.
1:49
It's kind of a freak accident.
1:50
One thing leads to another.
1:51
But yeah, ultimately, my foot got taken off my body pretty much.
1:56
I was... told by the doctors, we're amputating, we're amputating.
2:00
And, uh, thankfully I, I literally on the operating table was fighting for my foot and they did the test and we had, there was a doctor brave enough to try to reattach it.

Now, you do already have the Eddie Jordan Foundation come on board in support for you, but you are looking for some corporate sponsorship too.
37:57
... that's, that's in that's got some form of control.
37:59
And how, how far down the line is it where we have central, uh, bank, like, digital currencies and they control what we do and don't spend on them? I, I ...
38:09
Things that were conspiracies just a few years ago seem a lot more possible and, and, uh, viable now.
38:16
But this particular thing ...
38:17
Like, I made a video, like, I think it was last year or the year before, where I was talking about the, the issues with so- social media and the fact that, you know, I'm talking to my audience through social media made it quite i- ironic almost.
38:29
Um, and a lot of people were like, "Hang on a minute, Carl." Were like, "Are you telling me to stop scrolling Instagram? But, but your job is to make stuff and put it on Instagram." [laughs] I'm like, "Yeah, I am saying that," and that does seem stupid, but like, I've seen youngsters glued to their phone.
38:46
Whether I made my fishing videos or not, those youngsters would be glued to their phone-
38:50
Yeah
4:51
Okay.
4:51
And now I am not sitting here trying to help people get better.
4:56
I'm trying to make sure that we can pay a bill.
5:00
And, and that's important.
5:01
You have to be able to, you know, not get everything canceled and lights turned off, and you have to be able to take care of your team.
5:09
But at the same time, you have to take care of yourself.
5:11
And, and I think for me, what it was in that moment was I just realized I am no longer effective.
