That's one of our models and start how you want to finish.

And that's exactly what we did on that first day.

Yeah.

So I went to college, graduated from Ivy League school, Amherst College, you know, got good grades, got a corporate job doing sales, pharmaceutical sales, big pharma, had the company car, had the company Amex, all that good stuff, war suit and title work.

But I knew that wasn't for me as a career corporate guy.

I just knew I didn't want that.

Right.

But really, I got the bug for real estate when I read Rich Dad, Poor Dad in 2001.

Matter of fact, it happened earlier than 2001.

I got two VHS tapes right here.

In the 90s, my mom had these VHSs, No Money Down, right?

The late night infomercials.

And it was these guys who get on there.

Yeah, you can make millions of real estate and you can drive a Rolls Royce.

You can have mansions, but none of them look like me.

But I was like, man, one day I want to do what they're doing.

I want to own properties.

I want to drive a Rolls Royce, all that stuff.

And

25 years later, I'm doing exactly that.
