There's never been more software and technology to scale and grow, you know, in just a short space of time. I would say do what Gary's done. Gary publishes online. He's built a personal brand. He's attached it to a recurring revenue model. He's got... I'm not sure how replicable that is. You know, so build a personal brand, attach it to a business model that is where money is flowing.
These are positive things you can do. We all have to play the cards we're dealt. You can always find someone who's done better with better cards or someone who's been dealt better cards and you can always find someone who's been dealt worse cards. No matter who you are on the planet, there's someone better, there's someone worse. You have to play the cards that you're dealt.

These are places that... Normal people don't want to end up. Most normal people who grow up in normal households don't wake up one day and say, I want to be a rates trader on a double derivative of the economy making bets.
