listener:  “Hey guys, long time fan, first time caller 🤣

Lately I've been struggling with staying motivated in an industry where it feels like the amount of money you make, defines your success in the industry. There's all of these youtubers and influencers taking about "Six figures this" and "Six figures that". and if you make anything less, your failing as a business. 

How have you two either avoiding this or kept the noise down?
