Great journey, seems like you're just getting started. Curious, did you develop this type of drive recently or do you have past experience in hardcore work/study (e.g. u use to be in investment banking or studied pre-med at one point in your life, military, etc)?

I was always driven but when I was younger I channeled it into video games and sports.

During the past year it has intensified. I think part of it comes from reading about people with a lot of drive, such as Elon Musk, Kobe Bryant, and Bill Gates. When I read that they are putting in 80+ hour work weeks I ask myself, why can't I do that?

Because you don't have personal assistants, personal chefs, nannies, and myriads of PR people whose job it is to make you look superhuman.
