I don't party.\"\n\n\"You know, I come home to my kids every night and tuck them in for bed and then wake up in the morning, have breakfast with them, and then go spend 10 hours at work and that is it.\"\n\n\"So I started off as an accountant and I realized it's just the opportunity that if you can be a business owner, if you can, you know, take that risk, there's often a lot bigger reward in it for yourself.\"\n\n\"So that led me to this new internet money opportunity.\"\n\n\"But if you go on the internets, you can find anyone to work for or anyone to work with.\"\n\n\"You have all these young kids that are on social media and they recognize it.\"\n\n\"They spend all their day on it.\"\n\n\"But when you talk to the plumber, when you talk to the electrician, they still aren't on social media.\"\n\n\"They have no presence.\"\n\n\"Despite all of their target audience, their demographic, all of those people are on social media.\"\n\n\"It's a massive gap.\"\n\n\"I see a lot of people running their businesses and at the highest level they all, you know, stopped caring about money and they started caring more about like the total impact that they can have.\"\n\n\"And that's really it is I just have such a love for the game.\"\n\n\"The work that needs to get done is done in a way that is so enjoyable for me that I'd not have anything else that I'd rather be doing.\"","likeCount":2,"viewCount":273,"ghostPostId":"69f3b22224b8a30001b7cbcb","ghostSlug":"alaska","authorName":"Colin McDermott","authorAvatar":"https://storage.ghost.io/c/12/7b/127b828b-bdc2-4972-9cf2-de857df9c324/content/images/2023/07/colin.jpeg"}}
