And so wanting to give people a chance who, you know, maybe they didn't have the same mentors, you know, or the same access or the same financial means, but if they've worked their tail off in school, I want them to be able to, you know, I mean, to me, that's like evolution.

Like people, we want the smartest people rising to the top.

Other things too, I do the same thing at my kids' school, at a private school.

There's certain people where they need access.

They're very bright kids, but maybe they don't come from the same financial background.

I lived in the Pacific Palisades, so now.

Fires?

Yeah.

So now it's like reinvesting in the community.

You know, how are we going to fix this and rebuild it and build it back even better, you know, than it was before.

So, I mean, those are things that are very personal to me, you know, for some people.

Another thing, too, this is probably a random one, is the most dangerous animal in the world, believe it or not, is the mosquito.

Hmm.

because it it passes uh malaria to people and so almost a million people a year might die from malaria you know it's not like a lion or a shark there might be a few hundred you know deaths from that um yeah so we uh at my company adaptive we would donate a certain effect at all all the different companies we've had we would donate money uh and we had days where we would with the sales guys where we get them excited about going out and getting people to donate we eventually got to a point where

On the app, when people were checking each customer out and signing them up, there was literally a place for them to say, yeah, I'd like to donate X amount to this charity.

And we raised millions of dollars.

It was the United Nations Nothing But Nets group.

They donate bed nets to people.

Because most people, like for example, Africa or South America, they get bit while they're sleeping.

Yeah, I think it's a good thing to do culturally.
