TRANSCRIPT:
MARK DOUGLAS: I actually live on the East coast, but work West Coast hours, so I actually get to enjoy my morning before I start my Workday so that when I do start my workday, I'm actually awake. I've gotten out, I've ridden my bike.
I live in Miami. So I've maybe gone down to South Beach, literally gone to the beach and things like that. And so then when I get to the workday, it's not like a cup of coffee. And I'm on the phone.
It's like, you know, I went and hit golf. I went and biked. I like lived my life before I jump into the work day. And then, you know, it's kind of, you know, pretty organized from there. So it's that combination of like, get up, enjoy life and then enjoy work as opposed to being forced to work the second I get up.
