You should go start your own business.

This is crazy.

Like, why would you work 80, 100 weeks for somebody else?

And so that was the first time I really thought, eh, maybe I should look at it.

And then he also told me, by the way, I'm selling this business.

I'm going to take a little time off.

Um, and I was like, well, how much are you selling it for?

He's like, uh, like probably 10 million bucks.

I was like, wait, we've only, you've been doing this for four years total and you're making $10 million.

And I understood like how much he'd invested in it.

I thought.

I have quite a bit saved up, like about 300 grand saved from over the years.

I was very thrifty in college because I kept thinking I'm going to go to MBA school.

And then he's like, yeah, I'll invest into you too if you want to go, just I'll be a silent partner.

And so that's how I got started.

So I sold four summers and then I did a Moxie.

I actually licensed the name from Jason, did that for four years, sold that business, did an asset deal.

And then instead of, you know, 300 grand, I had...

you know, 13 million plus, you know, to invest into the business, uh, into the next one.

And so what's nice is the asset deals.
