I love, I love that sentiment there because I, I talked to Kyle Porter for an episode of this a while back, and he had this great line that I think applies to really any creative endeavor, but I think you just touched on it just then, the idea that, like, you have to have this self-delusion-
Which there are those out there, but especially when you first start, I mean, I got to imagine you were screaming into the void about Monday Q. I just, what was that kind of experience like for you? Because again, you just described it even now, after you've built a successful business doing this, here you are still saying, like, "Yeah, who would dedicate time to doing this?"
I'm just curious what, what that was like for you initially, and how has that relationship with the self-delusion, quote-unquote, h- has that changed at all?
Yeah, I think I'm a little different from Kyle, Nate, because I never intended this to be a thing.
I kind of look at it the opposite way as, like, it's been really hard for me, and I'm not trying to make this dramatic, that what I'm saying is, like, I can't believe people care about what [laughs] I have to say.
So it's kind of, like, hard to get used to people caring [laughs] about what I say.
I never intended- For people to care about what I say, or never thought people would care about what I have to say.
So it's, it's, like, not the opposite, 'cause we're kind of saying the same thing.
I was at my son's basketball camp and a guy came up to me, I had my MoneyQ shirt, and he's like, "Hey," but you know, "Big fan." It's like, it's awkward for me, 'cause, like, I'm just like, "I can't believe this guy cares enough [laughs] to say hello." And so, uh, yeah, but it's...
The, the enjoyment I get out of it is sharing this side of pro golf, because this is the reality of, you know, I say 95%, whatever.
But the, there's a large portion of golfers that live in, in a world that people that watch TV casually have no idea.
The hardest part is, like, I've turned this into a business somewhat, but it's like, I'm so appreciative of what I do [laughs] that I always am just like, "Yeah, sure.
Oh my God, you want me to represent your company? Oh, yeah, of course I'll take that amount of money.
