Oh, many times. With his dad passing away and then the Kuwait war. And then, of course, many with the recession. So many times he's faced, he always has a smile. He's never stressed about it. You know, I don't know how. It's awesome. Anyway, so he started his business. He went to my mom. He's like, look, I have $30,000 saved right now.

Because all the money he made earlier was gone because of Kuwait. So I have $30,000 saved. I want to start a business. Worst case, six months, I lose all the money. And I can go back and I can get a $3,000, $4,000 job easily. I'm capable enough. And we can live. We'll have a house to stay in. We'll have food. We'll be okay. It's not the end of the world. My mom said, do whatever you want.

Unbelievable. We have, you know, 6000 people working for us, multiple businesses, 40 cities. So, you know, it's just a complete transformation from the slums to four and a half billion.

Like no 8 or 5, it's 8 o'clock.
