So when in your journey did that shift happen for you? Was it like an aha moment or was this something that you just from an early stage were like, the average path is all wrong?

So I got trained by, and I didn't realize how unique they were, but my first job, I fell into a very unique opportunity.

I was hired by Merrill Lynch right out of undergrad.

I had zero experience, but a team of four advisors had recently moved from Goldman Sachs to Merrill.
4:35
And they had been there for, I don't know, three or four months before they hired me.
4:38
And they, those four advisors were doing more business than the entire Beverly Hills branch.

And so I was brought in with no experience.
