It's basically every month I'm trying to learn a new thing. And the thing I'm trying to learn, sometimes it's about business, but sometimes it's just like a personal thing. So it could be, well, actually right now I'm taking a bunch of Stanford online courses on finance.

So I never went to business school. Of course I can like read an income statement, a balance sheet, that sort of thing. But I figured, hey, it would be great to be better at this. So it's one of those things where if you don't put it in a list and actually have homework and put it in your calendar, you're never going to get around to it.

I think it's business weaknesses and life's curiosities. So like right now, I'm also like for this upcoming three months, I'm also just trying to get better at guitar. So taking a guitar course and then if I pull up, I'm also learning how to golf.

Yeah.

It's also I live in Florida, so. It's a golfing place. It's a golfing place.

This came to me a couple years ago. We got offered a $100 million blank check to basically scale out late checkout and build out a bunch of new products faster, acquire faster. Just take our model and just... add steroids to it. And we turned it down and the VC basically called me up like sweating bullets.

He goes, I don't understand. This is like a surefire way for you and your team to get generational wealth.

Yeah, a similar voice. Very similar voice to me. And I go, I'm not chasing generational wealth. I don't need hundreds of millions of dollars or billions of dollars. In fact, the people who I look up to who have that sort of wealth, they give away 99.9% of their wealth anyways to charities. what I'm about is I want to, I want to live a wealthy life. I want to live a rich life.

I want to be able to do whatever it is I want, but I don't need generational wealth. I think that's, it's something that what I don't like about chasing general generational wealth is it's infinite. You're chasing an infinite goal.

I don't have a number because people I know who have numbers are just, they hit the number and then the number becomes 2x. And then they hit the number and the number becomes 2x. And they hit the number and it becomes 2x. The way I think about it is I want to be able to do what I want.

Yeah, and there's a lifestyle that I want to have and that requires a certain amount of money, but that's kind of where I'm at.

Well, what's your personal mission statement?

You don't have one? Even around like facilitator.com?

So where this came from was a lot of companies have mission statements. Most companies have mission statements. And I realized that founders, because they care so much about making the business work, they kind of lose sight of what their goals are.

Yeah. So that's my point on this life hack. How do you do it? It doesn't make a difference what your mission is or what mine is. It's just like, have a mission.

So... Help me! Help me help you. Help me! A personal mission statement could be something like, it could be numbers. Like you can say, I want to make a million dollars a year and I want my children to have the best possible life. And I want to have a happy family. And that's a personal mission statement. You can put dollars in there. You can add personal, of course, into it. Family, friends.

It's personal.

Go for it. Yeah.

I don't even know what that means.

Yeah, there's like... There's a few frameworks for it. There's one called the three question framework. What is most important to you? What are your goals? What values guide your actions? For example, the integral piece that you talked about, the value that you have is integrity. You have pieces of it. That's one framework. There's also the purpose, values, goals framework. It's
