One of the big lessons they take away from that is women entrepreneurs anywhere in the world are a far better investment than men because the money that you invest in them that they use to help build a business oftentimes gets reinvested more often than not in the family, in the community, versus if you do it for men, Some of the money goes to the family communities.

Some of the money goes to the local bar, local establishment, whatever. Like basically investing in women in emerging economies just has a bigger impact on society. And it kind of tracks. It's a generalization, but I think we're sitting here going, yeah, okay, that kind of tracks. But then you go a step further and it's like, okay, under duress,

and this is closely related, women tend to endure a lot better than men. And this is one of the reasons why when you look at prisons, you look at terrorist organizations, you look at when people are pushed to extremes, disproportionately men that end up not turning out well.

So I think we have an imperative here where if we have a generation of young men who are feeling disillusioned, who are feeling demoralized, who are feeling this insecurity, this deep, deep, deep pain, like we all have an incentive to make sure that they're getting that high protein diet of things that will actually help them be better and actually give them a path towards self-improvement and give them a path towards being successful, viable members of society.

Because unlike women, they're not going to handle that well. And and so I can make the case from a like a value standpoint, like, hey, I think it's important to support these young men. But I also would make the case just from a societal standpoint, like it is in our best interest for for public safety, for all the things to make sure we get those sort of that generation back on track.

And I think it starts with conversations like this between high profile men who've had success in their careers, who can talk about and normalize a lot of this stuff. Because at the end of the day, if we don't have those examples, what else fills the gaps? And I don't like the alternatives that fill in the gaps.

And what's wild is, you know, I didn't really, I very much broke into tech and business and learned a ton. And every time I keep going up and I tell the guys this all the time, I keep leveling up. Right. And I keep meeting new people and sort of getting another peek behind the curtain of like how the world works or how business works and all that stuff.

And it's been eyeopening because like there's shit I would, if I just could tell my 15 year old self and be like, don't do that, that's stupid. Like, like there's actually a smarter way to do that. And I hope to always keep feeling that to some extent, but as I keep doing that and keep meeting more and more folks, I have yet to to meet one who doesn't have this level of introspection and depth.

And I'll tell you, it's most telling among the billionaires who are now grandparents, men who have achieved everything you could hope for in business. It doesn't matter the industry. Who are looking at their grandkids as a second chance because they didn't get to or didn't want to or weren't interested in or whatever we want to call it, spending that time with their own kids.

And they're so grateful for that second chance. But I keep looking at all these stories from men who I really, really, really respect. And the ones who feel like they've had the most fulfilling life all keep coming back to human experiences they have with loved ones, with family. And like I said, I got a...
