And then we were able to sell the business on the back of that. Did you earn a return on the equity, on the 170? Initial equity was about a 3X. And then some of the late equity was like a 1X. Everybody, the banks got paid back. Every one of our investors made their money. Plus we had some preferred equity. They got all paid.

So it was like, we did escape, but yeah, we'd never want to bet our business on one.

So in addition to the concentration lesson is the other key lesson. Just don't back businesses where you're not a fan of the core product or service.

Yeah. For us, you know, I want to think that we're having a... I mean, it sounds cheesy, but we're having a positive impact. The world's a little better because we're building this company. And if I'm being honest, I don't think that was true in that business. What are you most afraid of today?

I told you this when we talked the other day, but my two boys went off to college and it was like the end of a chapter that was really one of the first times I felt like I needed to start facing my mortality. And I think that's the thing I'm the most afraid of is... How long do I have? And like, am I going to be able to do all the things that I want to do in this lifetime?

And this is the only one that I know that we have. And am I doing that right now? Or am I going to look back and have any kind of regrets? That's probably the thing I'm the most afraid of. What have you done about that? I'm in the process of it, honestly.

Like, I think one of the things I've done about it is I try to, whatever I'm in at the moment, just be 100% fully on and fully present and just be all in with a thousand percent of my energy, each thing, and actually ironically not overthink it. And I think that's been the thing that I guess has allowed me to feel the best about the mortality.

Is there anything I think of like pillars supporting the ability to do that day in, day out as like a human biological thing that has limited energy or whatever? This could be anything, what you eat, what you do, whatever the pillars are. What are those pillars for you that let you do that?

I think one of the pillars is that you have spent the time being intentional and spent the time getting in touch with your intuition so that you just know the things you're working on are the things and you don't have to be hedged at all. You're not spending your time, am I in the right job? Am I in the right relationship? Am I living in the right place?

You've already answered those questions, so you can just kind of relax into those things. So a lot of the work that I do on that has allowed me to relax in those things. I think the physical part is massive. I think the most highly correlated thing to having a good day is if I feel good physically. That starts with sleeping well.
