Grant Muller 4:39Yeah, absolutely. I think after that introduction, there's nowhere but no, we're a bit down for me. So



D.J. Paris 4:44I like to set up my guests for failure. I'd like to this is this is the mountain I've put you on it now. Let's topple you over. I am I you and



I didn't not



understand, you know, we sort of you know, oh, I'm sorry, are we? I am cutting out aren't we? Okay. My apologies. Am I still cutting out grant?



Grant Muller 5:20Yeah, you're better now. But you that's the second time you went out. So, boy, yeah, we might Yeah, we're



D.J. Paris 5:26having for everyone listening. I apologize. This is a Comcast issue for our entire business is dealing with this. So if this continues, I won't know. So grant, will you tell me if I keep cutting out and then if we need to reschedule if it's bad enough where we can't do it? So we'll try to fix this in post but um, let me know if it's if it's unlistenable. And we'll just we'll redo it for next week. So my apologies. No worries. Oh, no, no, everything looks good again. So we'll see you there. Oh, the internet. It's fun. You for a grant for telling me that. So so yeah. So I want to hear your story. Because I what I'm always most impressed with, is people who pull themselves up, it's not even about failing, because everybody fails. Everybody makes mistakes. Everyone has hard challenges in life. But it's it's the resiliency that is that is built, you know, the from the ashes, right? It's the strength and, and, and resiliency that comes out of tragedy that I am always so drawn to. And so I'd love to hear your story about how you, you know, overcame the obstacles that have showed up in your life.



Grant Muller 6:37Sure, absolutely. Very quickly, early on. As, as a kid really, I learned how to pretend to be someone I'm not to fit in. And to get along with everybody. And it was a lesson I learned very early on. And as I got older, I kept pretending to be someone. I'm not just to kind of make it and to fit in. And in middle school, I started drinking. And by high school,



D.J. Paris 7:07middle school, that's amazing. That's that's a really early.



Grant Muller 7:09Yeah, yeah. It was late middle school, but it was middle school. And by high school, I was drinking every day. And I somehow made it through high school. And as I went into the workforce, I started to figure out that workaholism has way better side effects and alcoholism. And so, I kind of cold turkey, quit drinking for a while. And I worked like a madman. And I was a stockbroker at Charles Schwab. And a year into that job, I was given a team of 24 stockbrokers to work under me. I was actually the youngest manager they'd ever promoted. So I had incredible success. A year later, I was the senior manager of a department with 60 people in it. And then shortly after that, I got recruited to an internet startup. Now, this is the late 90s. So Internet startup was just everything was everything. Absolutely. That tech boom. And it was a software company that was starting an internet services division in Denver. And which really dates it right, because now internet is everything. It's not a division. And I was hired as the head of service, because I love customer service, consumer service. And that's what I've been doing at Schwab. They hired me as the head of service. I showed up at my colleagues apartment where our first Denver office was her living room. And I said, Hey, I'm the head of service. And she said, Well, great. We have no clients. So you're also the head of sales. And I said, Well, what are we selling? And they said, well, we don't really know yet. But this internet thing is getting really big. And we need to figure out how we use our software for the internet. We want you to go find our first 50 Beta clients, and let them help us design the product. So we found the first 50 Beta clients. We went public, we all got rich, you know, Porsches and Ferraris started showing up in the parking lot. breakfast lunch and dinner was catered. I had a foosball table right outside my office. This is before Google. Before it was cool to show up to work in holey jeans. We were doing it. And it was really cool. Except I remember the night that we went public. And I was in my fancy condo overlooking the skyline of Denver. And I remember thinking to myself, well, I've done it. I met met my goal. I'm a millionaire by 30. But I thought is this it? Is this all there is? I was miserable. I was unhappy. I didn't like who I was. And I was still pretending to be someone. I wasn't at this internet company pretending to become a tech bro. But it wasn't who I was. And so I think sometimes when we go after goals for the wrong reasons, in this case to make me feel better about myself, when we get those goals, and they don't fill that hole, it's just devastating. And that's what happened to me, I started drinking again. And within a few months, I tried cocaine for the first time.
