Hard. Very hard. I think you saw how you were there. You saw the emotion of it. But I had a conversation with some of the parents on the team who are mentors of mine, business owners, and they were like, you got to let this go. This is not going to get you.

You nailed it. And you've taught me so much about just business of organization, numbers, KPIs. So what I did, I went back and I looked at how much my real estate portfolio has made me each year since I started. The number is staggering. It's like an extra half a million dollars a year that you don't even think about that you are just earning every single year as that real estate goes up.

What I'm teaching my agents is, look, we're going to be the best serving real estate agents on the planet. And what we're going to do with that compensation, we're going to go buy real estate smartly. And in my opinion, there's no better place to buy real estate than Las Vegas. Yep.

but the real thing that hit me was how could i go and be on a field all day and not be with my own kids yeah and that was like the real turning point where i was like you know what this is the right move yeah money aside real estate aside when you start your own family i'm like because there's coaches out there that don't that aren't with their family buddy you get 18 summers that's it 18 summers that's what you get and with the lacrosse team i have amazing mentors amazing over the years awesome
