over the last eight years since we started Noble Gold, that I've had people come, grandparents come and buy gold and silver for their grandkids instead of buying some Christmas present that they're not going to need. And I can tell you that in the future, those grandkids are going to benefit much more than the toy that they could have bought.

That's the thing, Vince, that I want to impart is that's the future that of success is buying assets that have value, understanding the value of things. And those are the things that I really try to impart on my children and everyone that I talk to about investing.

Yeah, so in one form or another, Vince, I've been in the sales side of pretty much every business, which I do believe allowed me to try different careers, learn from people, high-level people. I was in the insurance business, selling insurance, property, casualty insurance. I learned very significant things from my bosses early in my career.

I was in the insurance business, selling insurance, property, casualty insurance. I learned very significant things from my bosses early in my career.

And my first boss in the insurance business was, I would say, the most beguiling, the most lovable person. person on the phone in an industry where people dislike you. Most people don't love their insurance agent because your rates go up every year and you don't typically see much coming out of it.

But this gentleman had a way with people on the phone, even when they were upset, he could turn a conversation into a likable conversation. And I watched him do this and learn from him for many years and really learn the art of customer service. Interestingly enough, off the phone or not on clients, he was a kind of a difficult person to be with.

Interestingly enough, off the phone or not on clients, he was a kind of a difficult person to be with.

And he gets into the person that he needed to be on the phone. I learned that, yes, you were selling something, but really what was important was that was the customer service aspect, especially in that business and treating people with respect and really listening to them. And so I learned from him for many years. in that business and then transitioned over into commercial real estate.

And again, selling commercial real estate, I was selling apartments, shopping centers, triple net properties. In that business, I learned from my mentor, the owner of the business, He was an incredible gatherer of talent. He would interview people in a very in-depth way. He spent time with people. He did a lot of events outside of work. He even did an event that I copied
