I'm doing the research.
I'm taking the time to go have the solitude to come up with these business plans.
Like I've done...
great business deals just on the surface.
I bought and sold Avion Tequila to Pernod Ricard.
I've done crazy real estate deals.
I would say Avion Tequila.
Shout out to my mentor and business partner, Ken Austin.
He sold NetJets to Warren Buffett and he started Avion Tequila.
He built it.
I came in.
He had the top.
I was like, Ken, you just need the bottom.
And he's like, what do you mean?
I was like, well, you have all these high-end hotels and you have all this thing, but you don't have culture.
And he's like, tell me about it.
And I told him, I'm going to tell you about it, but I'm going to need some equity.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
I was his partner.
