00:00Night one is in the books. We did really well with sevens. Was it as hard easier than you imagined?

00:05How do you feel? It was definitely hard. I'm not going to act like it wasn't easy.

00:09I'm lucky to have her. She's been putting me to work the last couple of weeks and I really just

00:14been trying to listen and do her proud. So that's all I've been thinking of the entire time.

00:18How did he do as far as your expectations? He did better than I expected. This is such an

00:22intimidating show, first of all, and we went first and there's nothing scarier night one

00:28premiere night to go first. I'm so proud of how he just executed everything. But more importantly,

00:34he had fun. He was smiling through and through. So I'm over the moon. We love to hear it. What

00:40are your own personal goals that you have going into this season that you want to achieve?

00:44Yeah, I first wanted to step outside my comfort zone. That was the real idea of all this. But

00:48then after meeting Jenna, after feeling good about where we were at, we've had a goal to

00:51make the finale. No Bachelor guys ever made the finale before. So that's the first goal.

00:56And then it comes after that. We'll make some other ones, hopefully. Yeah, I'm on board with

01:00that. And then from your time on The Bachelor, is there anything that you learned that you're

01:04bringing into your experience here on how you carry yourself or handle things differently or

01:09the same? It's so different. But the one thing that I would say is similar is that feeling you

01:14have before a live show on The Bachelor. I had that same feeling for tonight, but it's different

01:19because I have to perform here on The Bachelor. I'm just myself and I just kind of talk through

01:22how I'm feeling. But that like butterfly feeling in your stomach, a lot of people don't get that

01:27feeling anymore. So it's really cool to get it again doing something like this. And I don't know,

01:30I'm gonna chase that feeling each time. And then finally, so now that you have the first episode

01:35out of the way, are you feeling like, okay, I've got a good handle on the rest of the season? Or

01:38is it making you a little more like, all right, this is the work I had to put in? Yeah, I'm not

01:43gonna get cocky in any way. I'm so excited that we got three sevens. I know we have a lot of work

01:47to do to get into next week. And I'm just gonna keep listening to her.

01:52Great student right here. Love to hear it. Thank you.
