Let's dive in and learn something right now. Today we have Josh Cary with us. He is the host of The Hidden Entrepreneur. Josh, could you please introduce yourself? Tell people who you are, what you do, and how you got to where you are today, please? Josh Cary 03:06 I absolutely will. Thanks. By the way, Ed, for inviting me on Dead America. I'm already a fan. I love it all. So long story short, today, I am, like you said I'm the hidden entrepreneur. And that's because I spent 40 years hiding. I showed up in every situation, hiding my true self, my true talent, and everything that I was actually capable of achieving. I did that because I was so fearful of rocking the boat, and I didn't want to come across like I was so capable and powerful. Because then what might happen, you might retaliate if you felt a little insecure about what you're capable of. Right? Because if I'm just inadvertently doing my thing, coming up with something wonderful, powerful, you know, quite quite great. Something certainly in my wheelhouse. It might make you feel insecure. And if you retaliated, I felt growing up that I didn't have the strength or ability to defend against that. So I just avoided it altogether. Now what was so difficult was behind closed doors, what caused so much angst, anger, depression, dare I say jealousy was because every moment of every day I knew what I was capable of doing. So that that whole disconnect just created this, this whole miserable person. Now cut to today, I'm the proud father. I have two adoring children, a seven-year old daughter, a five-year-old son, who early on in their young lives. I realized that I see what's happening here. I'm the child in this circle. I'm the one throwing the tantrum. And they're looking at me like, you got to do something about that. And I made that immediate case to do just that. And I knew that I didn't want to continue down that path. Because if I did, and they grew up with that kind of father, how is that going to wind up for them? Right? We know that outcome. So
