So I do this speech called 40-40-20. 40% low risk, where I want to make between 5% and 8% for the year. 40% medium risk, I want to make 10% to 25% for the year. And then 20%, my shot at glory. Private equity investments, angel investing, cryptocurrency, et cetera. What are your thoughts on that concept? And do you have your own version of that for yourself?

So I have this thing called the elevator syndicate. I have 960 investors and the last three years I raised 56 million for small rounds, 3 million to 6 million per deal, companies doing two to 20 million in sales. And I like that bite size thing that I can help, right? I can't raise the kind of capital you guys raise and I don't go invest in companies that are doing 600 million.

I like 6 million and 12 million, 18 million. And then if it works out, we can have a big exit. What are your thoughts about doing a bunch of small bite-sized things like I'm doing? Or is it better just go for it like Jaws and go for the big ones? Go raise $56 million for one deal instead.

Part of my speech is zero to 1 million, super hard. Rarely ever happens. Very people will do it. Going from 7 million to 14 million, not that hard if you get systems and processes and people to help go from 7 million to 14 million. So if your friend is opening their seventh salon or their seventh gym or their seventh restaurant, their failure rate is going to go down.

So I built a ranch in Temecula, California. And our mutual friend, Michael Chandler, comes there once a month. And we do training called Operation Blacksite. But I built these shoot houses. And I let the police, K-9, SWAT, and sheriff come there every single week for free for the last half a decade. On the toy side, I didn't know you guys did it that big. That's my biggest passion.
