I hate to say what I'm about to say because it doesn't apply to everybody, but it applies to more people than I wish that it did. In my experience, when they say those things and they want to get on a call, it's a fishing expedition for them more than it is one for you. They are trying to not figure out what they have to offer you. They are trying to figure out what they can get from you.

Or mutually beneficial? I'm trying not to be pessimistic in my answer. I don't know if people intentionally are doing it. Yeah. Knowingly and willingly. but my needle trends in that direction.

One of the most powerful tools that I learned, and I unfortunately learned way too late in life, was the ability and comfortableness to say no. Yeah, exactly. Subtraction is way more powerful than addition. I get a volume of emails every day, and some of them are like yours, where you reached out and I read your email. I'm like, this is a topic that I don't know much about.

And I know that the story... is going to probably be hard for people to listen to because it's not a topic that is talked about much, which lends itself to, it needs to be talked about even more. Yeah. Right. Because if you hide things in the shadow, nobody sees them.

But I get, you know, there are PR agencies that'll reach out and, hey, have you, and so at this point I can now actually even recognize the brand because they'll say, oh, I really, I love the conversation that you had with these next two guests and your ability to, I'm like, oh my God, you guys are just cutting and pasting. And sometimes they actually do forget to cut and paste.

And so it's addressed to somebody else. Those go straight into the delete. But I'd say nine out of 10 things that are presented to me, I look at it from the exact same perspective. Time. Do I, A, do I want to do this? And it doesn't have anything to do with money. I am not a wealthy person by any stretch of the imagination. I like money as much as everybody else.

I like nice things like everybody else does. I just don't have a lot of it. Maybe one day in my life. I'm on a mission to one day have money. I'll let you know when I get there. Yeah, people think because you own a business, you're just printing money. And sometimes you are, and then you're putting it right back in the business. So it has nothing to do with the money.

Time is the most valuable thing that I have. My kids are getting older. I want to spend time with them before they completely get out of the nest. I enjoy spending time with my wife. Is what you're presenting to me interesting enough that it has equal value to those things? Yeah. Nine out of 10 times it's no. Right.
