Why would I ruin this beautiful life that I had?

Because we're idiots, humans.

Like, we are so dumb.

What happened to me?

So I'll take you back to December 2020.

I had two startups.

I had Robley and I hadn't sold it yet.

And then I had started Getemails, which is now retention.com.

They were both free millionaire.

They both had six people and they were both making a million and a half dollars of free cash.

So I had been sharing an office with the proof team, which started Jasper AI for two years.

This CEO, Dave, was stuck at $2.5 million ARR.

And I was showing him these companies in our P&L.

And I'm like, Dave, I think the answer is we need to just have five of these.

Because then, eventually, you have enough $3 million ARR companies that are making $1.5 million.

You're like living in Aspen or whatever.

So Dave and I had this plan.

My company, Get Emails, was the leader of the three companies that we had at $268,000 a month.

So this is outrageous.
