Well, yeah, if you think about it, the vast majority serve missions.
And the resiliency you gain from trying to sell religions, essentially, to people, you get a lot of doors slammed on your face.

So next chapter is I'm in finance at school, trying to figure out, okay, I got to go apply at investment banks in New York.
And I asked Jason for a letter of recommendation, my boss at Moxie.
And he just looks at me and he goes, what are you doing?
Like, you're so good at this.
You're like top 1% of 1%.
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.
