    I have to admit watching Alex since he's started something about him seemed to raise some backstabbing/sneaky vibe, but after hearing his back story and listening him articulate his mindset I have a new found respect for him. Although at the time LB made that "second team" offer he really needed the job it's easy to not answer the door when a underwhelming offer is knocking but to his credit he ran with it and apparently has been working hard to learn and provide value to his employer and customers. Great episode.

    He strikes me as one of those guys where he ends up as a person where you share an objective and just let him run with it. Heard someone else call him “scrappy,” and it’s a good descriptor….but he’s a lot more than that. You can tell there’s a lot going on in his head, but he’s usually the quietest person in the room. Seems like a great guy, and it’s nice to see him killing it. All the best, Alex!

    12:42 is nonsense, and the "I don't have many stable relationships" line highlights it. Unless the sum total of who you are (and want to be) as a person is solely tied to your professional achievements, this makes no sense. The number of "successful" attorneys i know that have woken up one day and questioned "WTF HAVE I BECOME" is staggering. Find your balance.

If he tried Real Estate he might discover that in person, people are less willing to buy something of such high value from a 23 year old. I'm assuming that he doesn't go out knocking on doors to sell $100,000 Pateks. It's all done on the phone.

So I get what you mean for sure. Now my wife and I are focusing shifting into something else that has a better shelf life than the pipeline did, it was amazing money and we were smart about it so we don't have debts at all but the last 3 years have been rough because my job was on and off but it just isn't sustainable anymore atleast for now and so I'm moving forward and hopefully can find a place in sales eventually for someone like you guys/girls at LB where it's a good group of people who all lift each other. More companies need to be like that and they could do so much more ❤️
