And the rest, as they say, is history.

Because I...

spent 10, 12, 14 years being a user of people and a taker of things because I owe the world a debt that I don't think I can ever repay because I have such a lack of self-appreciation, I guess, that I continue to want to do more.

because I'm endlessly curious.

And so there's always something that I want to put out there in the world, another story, another idea.

another way of looking at something to try to make the world a better place.

And I don't say that in a Pollyanna sense.

I mean that really seriously.

I believe, as I did when I created Bizarre Foods, that if we diversify our diets, we can save this planet.

We can save families.

We can lower prices on food.

We can, I mean, you just look what's going on in the supermarket today.

The reason, you know, meat prices and seafood prices are so high is that we eat like four things and that's it.

And when you put all your eggs in one basket and that basket hits the ground, some eggs are going to break.

And that's why ground beef is, which America literally lives on as a nation, is almost $10 a pound.

And I would argue that, you know, fish raised in the aquaculture situation

if it received the investment it deserves, which is not that much more because it's almost been perfected, would be able to feed an ever increasingly and hungry planet cheaper and more effectively.

And, you know, I got a lot of becauses, right?

And, you know, maybe I like solving global problems because I don't want to turn the mirror around and solve my own.

It has been, I'm not proud of it.
