You don't have problems.
And so that was healthy for me.
I think traveling, being exposed to different cultures is very important.
Get out of your hometown.
If you're not in an environment or a place where you have like-minded people that are wanting to achieve more for themselves, I like to say that the best decision I ever made was moving from the Washington, D.C.
area to Austin, Texas.
Growing up in the D.C., Virginia area, I'm very thankful and blessed.
It was a great community that I grew up in, great schools that I went to.
My dad was at the Pentagon towards the end of his career, so that's why we were ultimately there.
But all the people around, DC is structured.
It's centered around government jobs, contracting, politics, defense.
Everybody's top level of success to them is going to get a $100,000 government contracting job.
I didn't want that for myself.
And so when I ultimately moved out to Austin to be with my brother at the University of Texas, I'm exposed to people that are authentic, people that are like minded, that are young, they're building something great, and it causes you to want to do the same thing.
And that was a very important decision.
So I would tell people that if you're not in an environment that's going to cause you to grow, you know, you talked about proximity.
and the frequency that that leads to in yourself.
But yeah, that proximity is power, where you can go in a coffee shop and you can see a guy sitting down who just sold a company for $400 million and he's in a t-shirt and flip flops.
And so I think that that was very, very important.
People will take you places that money can't.
