So back to the school stuff.

I heard a story about you, which I think sort of sums up your personality type.

Apparently you were shit at running.

You used to finish near the back end of the school cross country, which I think is incredibly relatable.

And then one year you decided to take it seriously.

So you started training and then you did like top five finish or something.

But with something like the school cross-country, I'm just quite keen to get into your psyche on this one.

Most people don't care if they last.

It's the cross-country who gives a shit.

So why were you...

But a lot of people, it's like delayed gratification, which I suppose, like, that cross-country lesson is probably something that's come in handy for, yeah, the first year of, like, growing this business.

Like, a lot of kids that do that, they'll be like, right, I'm never going to come last again.

I'm going to train.

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, maybe Thursday, the next week they train, and then they get bored and give up.

You played the long game.

And in your teens, you used to read books like Michael Hill and Richard Branson.

Were they just books that were lying around your house from your entrepreneurial parents?

Yes.

So how old are you now?

Okay, so this is 10 years ago.
