And it doesn't have to be these famous people.

It can be a random person you end up meeting at the DJ shop.

And it's been amazing for me and Lindsay.

It's been amazing for my own life.

But I will say that a lot of people try to emulate something like that.

And there's this cringe factor involved that I find that most people can't get over.

And the cringe factor is often I have to

said a lot of text messages and a lot of emails and a lot of, even now that, that, you know, a lot, some people know me, I still, like I have zero cringe in my life.

I don't worry about cringe at all.

I never feel that way at all.

So if there's someone that I really want to get, you know, intro to and start working with and start getting mentorship from, I will like, I will go full on and I will never be disrespectful to,

but I have no issue with rejection whatsoever.

And I think that's the largest blocker of why more people don't create these personal boards of directors.

thing I have very high cringe pain tolerance whatever you want to call it I have no issue with that whatsoever I think that there is this this gets easier also with age I find the older I get the less I really I really care about that stuff but yeah I think most people are not willing to look stupid for a period of time I think the other thing is that I think about this all from the concept of like entrepreneurship

So in my office here in Montreal, the Shopify office, I have the original screen print that Ben Francis used to create Gymshark.

It was a gift.

It's a super meaningful gift that he gave me.

I love it.

I have it hung up in my office.

Part of the reason why it's up there is because I think that it's an amazing gift.
