Eventually, you will reach a point where money is no longer a motivator and then you need to find something else.

So I've always pushed to win and I've always pushed to learn and grow.

And those are the things that really get me going.

There was a baseline that I needed to feel like family was good.

And I was fortunate enough to start a couple of businesses before they were successful.

So I'd reached the baseline before I started this business.

And I said those businesses, I really aspired to get a single.

I just wanted to get enough money where I didn't have to stress about money.

Once I co-founded this business with my team and we started getting going, I never really needed anything from this monetarily.

And so as we were building up, we were growing really quickly.

And in 2015, we got approached to sell the business for quite a lot of money, in the hundreds of millions of dollars, all cash.

Had I not had the singles before, it might have been something that was very enticing to just cash out the whole thing at that point in time.

But because I knew my bank account was sound, I wasn't in it for money.

I was trying to build big.

And really, I felt like this had to be the home run.

I was able to think about the deal process there logically and understand that the business is growing really well.

It's really sound.

Why would we give it up on that upward trajectory?

So we were able to really play along.

And I think in large part, that's because I didn't start this at all, considering the money that I can make from it.
