And so I didn't, right? And it was the most expensive thing I've ever done is kept my word, right? Cost me the most fucking money of anything. But so now those relationships, right?

I've done that over and over again where maybe I didn't get the better end of the deal because I stayed in integrity or I did what I said I was going to do.

And so you're trying to come up here and you want some fucking bullshit of stealing, lying, cheating, whatever. We're not going to let you in the club. Like, it's just not going to happen. And that's where people fuck up. They don't understand the relationship capital of what a long-term relationship can pay you and where you can grow and make money with people who you trust.

And look, somebody might be whatever at a company today. right? And you fuck them and they become the CEO or they become a CEO of somebody you got to do business with. Don't forget this. Or they become the gatekeeper of somebody. And here's the thing. You don't even think about it or it's off your radar. And then all, and it's happened so many times in my life.
