Well, once you've had one exit, you realize how quickly you get over it. So if you've sold a business, you realize that, oh my goodness, what was once deeply personal extension of myself, what was once my baby, gets sold, and the deal is done, and then I move on with my life, and I'm really happy I sold it. And you go, oh, okay. Like, I get that I can actually have separation.

When you have real kids, when you actually have kids, it changes the game completely because you no longer place that level of attachment to a business. You just... You completely, you have these other entities in your life that have real paternal energy wrapped up in them. And then businesses can never even get close to that. So you can never feel that way about a business once you've had kids.

There's definitely misplaced maternity and paternity energy on all sorts of things. So you see people who, the way they treat their dogs and the way they treat their career, the way they treat their business, that is the same sort of biological drive that would normally go into kids. And you see that a lot these days.

So it's, you know, it's funny because when, as a father, I look at a lot of that stuff and I can immediately say that's misplaced paternity. Like you literally, you're treating that like you should be treating kids.

And it's totally natural as a response to go, why would I just ruin that with children and a mortgage and like all these kind of life markers that used to be meaningful 50 years ago? Why would I do that? I'm going to push that down the pipes. So that's a normal reaction to having amazing opportunities available. And then we go, oh, wait a second. Now I do want to tick off those boxes.
