The car flipped and I was ejected going 80 and, you know, got really hurt.
And so I
almost losing my life.
You know, I got, I have a stronger sense of time is precious, right?
There's all the cliches and the memes out there, but the reality is I'm on borrowed time.
The doctors looked me in the face and said, you should be dead.
And I realized that, you know, money itself doesn't, doesn't make happiness.
I'm like you.
So, so let's, I'm a capitalist too.
Almost like sport, business is fun.
And I wanna make more every year, just like an athlete wants to run faster every year.
Like it's fun and I get all that, but I know that when all the dust settles and people standing around my grave, cause that day comes for all of us, no one's gonna talk about how many dollars were in my bank account, how many cars I owned or the vacations I took.
They're gonna talk about the meaningful difference I made in the world.
And so it's not like I'm living for others to have a nice thing to say at my grave, but I just honestly believe having made my money, lost it and made 10 times or a hundred times back, that it's not just,
it's not just the exercise of success that's valuable, which I enjoy like you.
It's again, it's doing meaningful works.
And, you know, the examples are out there.
If just making money and being successful made people happy, true happiness, then everyone with money and success would be yet not all successful people with money are.
And then there are people who are completely broke for the happiest people in the world.
And so they've obviously found something.
