Here's your host, Dave Woodward. Everybody. Welcome back to a funnel hacker Speaker 2:     00:19       radio. This is going to be a fun, fun experience because we're kind of going back in time and Ford and time all at the same time. What I mean by that is rarely do I ever have someone who's been on our show more than once, but I wanted to kind of go back and bring someone back in. Gosh, it's been almost. It's been over a year now, but I wondered if you guys or reintroduce you to act chic. Ackbar. Welcome Dave. Thanks for having me. I'm so happy to have you. This is a lot of fun. For those of you guys, you don't know his story. I mean, have you referred back to the first podcast? We did, and we'll put that down in the show notes, but real quick, I wish, again, I don't know how if we're going to have this on video or not, but let me just kind of tell you, this is a guy who went from having nothing. Speaker 2:     00:56       Basically it was living in a janitor's closet and I'm looking at the backdrop to his interview room here in mind. Just is absolutely garbage. I've got. I'm totally jealous. I'm looking here. He's got a picture of he and Russell. He's got a shelf with, I don't know how many awards because he's blocking half of eight or 10 awards there. He's got three different Co, two comma club plaques behind him. I mean the guy has been just crushing it and thought, you know, it'd be a ton of fun just to have. Haven't backed onto. The first time I had him on was because we'd met, Gosh, nick was to funnel hack live ago and at that time he just got his first two Comma Club award and so I thought it'd be really fun to bring them back on and kind of tell the journey from one, two comma club awards now three pushing forward to hit our, our eight figure water plaque in ring and everything. So all that said, I've said more than enough ackbar. Glad to have you on the show and tell it. Fill in the gaps of what I forgot. Speaker 3:     01:48       Oh Man.
