What was going through your brain of like what's the next step here? I had a
00:00:03
few false starts. I wanted to be a Christian rock star. That's what I wanted to be. So, I was in a few
00:00:12
different few different bands uh in high school, which I do talk about on the album a little bit. Yeah. You got a
00:00:18
great bit about the the rock band. Yeah. And so, I was hoping that would take off
00:00:23
and you know, we would tour or something. College was not really on my mind. Neither one of my parents went to
00:00:30
college. I know for some kids it's kind of the expected thing, right? Um wasn't
00:00:36
really uh for me. And my parents didn't really push it. They never discouraged
00:00:41
it. They didn't push it. And I think they just didn't know, you know, even
00:00:46
how you would go about that probably. I I don't know.
