Bye, guys.
I mean, these two are incredible because I have a lot of business investments.
And what I'll say about them, it's the relationship has formed because the way they interact with me.
And I will say this so many times to different people I invest in.
When you have a mentor or when you have somebody who's put money in your business,
The way that you choose to work with them will say everything about the longevity of your relationship.
And what they do is come to me with ideas and things to bet.
They're never like, what should we do next?
Like, which way should we go?
They have a few scenarios and they say, here's the pros and cons and what in your experience have you seen?
And that's the way that you work with a good mentor.
You don't wait for them to, you know, spoon feed you information.
You've got to be proactive.
And so there's, you know, when they had...
Five to $10 million in sales.
They were so hungry and they were charting a path to 50.
They weren't waiting for me to say, guys, this is a $100 million business.
They had that ambition for themselves.
They just needed a little bit of experience and some expertise to really like catapult the business.
Well, I love that you asked the question and you frame it in that way because the truth is we live in a moment where we're so bombarded by these ideas of everything being big, like everything has to be a unicorn.
