My business partner called me and he said, Paul, he said, I heard about, you're planning on going to Columbia undercover as a wealthy buyer? He said, have you thought this through?

I said, and when I'm 95 years old and I look back at my life and I say, I built this multi-billion dollar company and I climbed this mountain and I helped rescue this many children, which of them matters at all?
