Beyond the Bowl: How Keepsakes Help Pet Parents Hold On ft. Scott Meier

Wow, that is a great question with a super long answer.

So can I start with birth or where...

Yeah.

So no.

So I yeah, I was in Spanish speaking countries making documentaries and then I would come back to the States and work on like independent films and TV show.

Always focused around storytelling and finding amazing stories and sometimes provoking some and being a part of things.

So I was in Spain for a couple of years and then Mexico City back when it was still called El D.F.A. which is now just Mexico City, but the Distrito Federal.

And then I was in Chile for like six years.

And the whole time, you know, I worked with tons of like poets and artists and have always kind of been wrapped up in the story side of things.

And it was around 2017 where I ate a panini and got hepatitis A and was sick for almost a year.

You had to

drop everything.

It was just one of those things where like, you know, if you were born 1990 or later, you most likely had the vaccine.

And I was going back to travel somewhere and I was even at the vaccine clinic and they were like, oh, do you want to get the hep A? I was like, yeah, sure.

And they're like, oh, we don't have the second dose with your timelines weird.

So just get it whenever you come back.

And then I didn't and end up getting really sick.

And so it was I had been looking at investing and those different things.

And when I got so sick, I couldn't leave the couch, you know, going walking up the stairs to get the mail.

I had to sit down and take a break.

And I was wondering if this was the rest of my life.

And I had to drop all the balls and just couldn't do anything.

So the one thing I started to do was to trade on the stock market.

And like any broken clock, I got right a couple of times and got pretty lucky and then started looking at all different kinds of ways to invest.

And I found what was then the kind of emerging ETA space, the entrepreneurship through acquisition space.
