Well, the secret to success, I would say, first of all, is passion and consistency. You have to love what you do. You have to get up every day. I get here every day at 9.30 in the morning. When we sold... In 2016, a lot of people in the company made a lot of money and they all took off and they retired, right? Other than the Fertittas, I made the most money. I'm still here.

I get here at 9.30 every morning. Last night, I left here at 8.30. I don't know how late I'm going to be here tonight, but I love what I do. We get up every day and grind. I work just as hard now as I did back then. The difference between back then and now is I don't have to do a bunch of the shit that I don't really like to do, like budget meetings. I don't like budget meetings.

I sat through enough fucking budget meetings. Horrible budget meetings. Horrible. We're losing millions of dollars a year, and I'm in these budget meetings. So I get to pick and choose what I do these days. Back in the early days, you don't get to pick and choose. You have to be involved in everything.

You literally go through line by line. Every fucking number in the company and where did the money go and how can we save costs? How can we do this better? How can we, you know, they are, they, they are brutal and they're multiple times a week and probably helps to deeply appreciate how much the shit costs though. A hundred percent.

Well, you have to know that in the early days when you start your business, you have these people who, when I hear them say, you know what, I, uh, I want to work for myself. I want to create my own schedule and I want to do all that. It's just, it's, if that's your thought process going into it, you're never going to be successful.

You have to pay attention to every single detail of the business early on. You're involved in everything. There's no days off. There's no birthdays. There's no fucking Christmas. There's none of that shit. I literally moved the birth of my second son for a chocolate elf fight. We had a chocolate elf fight coming up and I, and they're like, yeah, your son's going to be born on this date.

And I'm like, yeah, that's not going to work. Right. We're going to have to take him earlier. Yeah. So they literally gave my wife a C-section and took my son early. You were all in. All in.

I was doing this when I was broke. Yeah. And I'm doing this now when I'm not broke. I'm doing this because I love it. And I feel like there's so much more to do. And this is truly... my passion in life. It's like the sphere. We're doing the sphere. Why? Why would I do the sphere? It's going to cost me a bunch of money. It's really challenging. Most people think it can't be pulled off.
