That's what we're here to do, Matt.
You know, Matt and I, in full transparency to the audience, Matt and I were like brothers from another for like 20 minutes before the episode got going. I think we shared more background between Bitcoin and everything else. I was like, this is going to be good. I knew it would be good, Matt. We had it going.
Yeah, we shared all the good stuff, though. We got to respect it.
I know. We got to bring it back around. So how's life treating you, Matt?
Life is good. I feel good. A lot of fun, stimulating stuff going on. We're in this sort of go-go era. Everybody's lost their mind, texting me shit coins all night. It's great. It's good to be back.
You got your hands in so much, man. I want to set the table for our audience. I mean, you've been involved with NFL teams. You've got a million and one investments going on. I can tell we're talking Bitcoin. We're talking land and Abu Dhabi. We got what makes Matt Higgins tick?
Good question. Well, I got a book behind me, wrote a book about it. This idea of, you know, burn the boats and commitment. I think the simple answer to that is when I was very young, I had to make a really radical decision in order to escape out of desperate poverty. I grew up on nothing, selling flowers on street corners and eating government cheese and taking care of a sick mom.
