And I guess what I'm saying is that the people that have the greatest personal brands are the people that have mastered being able to be authentically them and totally okay with creating a division.

But people become so scared of what people think and the rejection of the people that don't fuck with you that they try to placate everybody in that nobody loves them.

I don't know if I've ever thought about it in the context of what percentage, right? I have thought about it in how is it managed. And so I have an estate plan that's set up for my kids that has taken the core issues that I think that my wealth could cause harm to them and tried to...

tried to deliver that and manage that from the grave after I'm gone the same way that I would here in real life while I'm still on planet Earth. And so some of those things are in my estate plan, my kids don't get a fucking dime. I mean, I will let them starve on the street if they can't pass a drug test. And so they're getting, I think it's like twice a year hair tests that go back six months.

Right. And they have to have, and that's at the discretion of, um, the person that'll be in charge of my estate. If they want to go out, pursue the entrepreneurial journey. Cool.

But you have to be doing it at a full time. You have to be productive. It can't be just a charade and smoke shirt. Like you have to be gainfully like doing something. Um, And even then, there were a lot of mechanisms where they never get access to all the money.

I think it gets more attention because people can't make sense of it because they don't really understand addiction, right?
