Now, if you're the kind of person who doesn't want to be around a lot of other people, I get it.

But you want that freedom.

to discover yourself because there's too many marriages that down the road, somebody said, well, I was in a career like this because my parents told me to become a doctor.

I hate being a doctor, but I would just rate, you know, you want to be a lawyer growing up.

You need to be a lawyer or a doctor.

I'm not sure if you would have been happy as a lawyer.

Maybe, maybe not.

And so when I, when I say that, um,

I don't even know how I got to that.

But it was about mentors, taking in a partner or taking in people and committing to something so much that you don't get to know yourself.

You know, well, everything has its own kind of... Okay, so if I'm talking about a person, don't scale too fast.

Well, if you have an opportunity to travel, you know, don't scale your... Don't change your life so fast.

Slowly change it, right?

You know, the 20% of this exciting thing you want to do with this person, this place you want to go, make it 20% and then it slowly moves 30, 40, right?

You know, don't... Yeah, go on.

But in a business, for sure.

In a business, you don't want to scale too quick.

Because, you know, when I started food, I ate stores I sold to in New York.

I could have sold to 12.

I could have sold to 40 stores around the country.
