You can invest in Steve Jobs back in the day, right? You can invest in Jeff Bezos. You can invest, you might hate Zuckerberg, but you can invest in Mark Zuckerberg if you want, right? Sam Altman, Elon Musk, right? Like whoever it is. Like, you don't have to try to be them. You could just literally just throw some money and just ride their life, right?

Just like anything they create, any value that they create in this world, you could just get paid for all the stuff that they're doing. Like, we don't ever think like that, but you could do that. Like, we already know who these people are. And there are a lot of them out there, right? And do you think that you are that ambitious? Do you think that you're that smart?

Are you willing to throw your whole life away just to achieve what they achieve? For almost everyone, that's probably not a smart or a healthy decision, honestly. but you don't have to. They're doing it for you.

So like, this is like the one thing that I wish someone would have sat me aside 30 years ago and said, Chris, you're gonna spend most of your life torturing yourself as a founder, which is what happened to me, okay? Starting companies, growing companies, you're going to have success this much of the time and almost all the rest, you're going to fail.

Because I've started so many companies, almost all of them have failed.

I have had so many privileges and so many advantages. And it's still- So many. My parents were so amazing to have moved us into a neighborhood with the most successful people in the country. And I would start businesses in middle school and high school, car detailing, this, that, just deeply engaging with these people all the time.

And so, yeah, I've had access to some of the smartest, most ambitious people in the world that have helped me all along the way and still it's almost impossible it's almost impossible and like now looking back I joke around that I'm like I'm like you know yes I'm invested in 150 private companies and I probably have tried to start that many over the course of my lifetime myself and

And if I would have just not done any of that and just focused on investing in other great people, and not that there aren't great people starting companies, but it's really difficult to kind of decipher who... Who is, who is, like what their weaknesses are when they're just starting off in life.

Meanwhile, you can just pick from the best companies in the world. And let them do the work. Let them do the work. And as soon as they do something that's sus, you can sell it and get into a different company. There's a fully liquid market. These days, stocks trade pretty much 24 hours a day. They're Robin Hood and stuff. So it's like... It is such a magical time to be an investor.
