It was like $165 million.

Right.

And so, um,

where most people are just, again, just hoarding their couple million dollars of equity that they're sitting on and not willing to expand that pie and really understand the opportunity out there.

Yeah.

So besides Delivering Happiness, what are a couple books that you would recommend to any entrepreneur that's wanting to go and grow and maybe adopt some of the principles that have hit home for you over the years?

And the actual achievement didn't fulfill them in the way that they thought it would.

Yeah.

One thing I always share is like the emotional spectrum exists no matter where you're at on the map.

Right.

Like you can have a billion dollars in your bank account and you can still feel depression.

You can still feel like all the emotions are available at every step of the way.

And so it's just like instead of instead of focusing on on that destination, it's just like, OK, how do I control the emotion and what what gives me happiness emotionally?

at all times what what makes me depressed you know what and and really understanding those those different things and and how you function uh one of the things i i heard a while ago that i've adopted as my own was like this guy was asked a question of hey what what's your number like what what's the number and what you're going to be done yeah right and his response was

I will never be done.

I will always be climbing a mountain.

And to me, the reason why that hits so home is like when you no longer look at life as like certain destinations, but more of like, hey, I'm always gonna be climbing the mountain.

I'm always gonna be putting in the work.

I'm always gonna be improving.

then it, then it removes the anxiety associated with hitting certain deadlines by certain time with, you know, or fantasizing even that that is going to somehow change my life.
