That's just ridiculous.
But patience.
Once you've made your investment thesis, stick with it.
Now, you know, again, the way you set things up, Ryan, you give me so much to work with.
And I'm going to respond.
I don't think I've ever said this story before, even in a private meeting.
And it's going to be macabre, but I'm going to tell you it.
When you were talking about your angel investing,
I was thinking about a client who is now deceased and he was a friend and I really, really liked him.
And when he died, there was a financial autopsy and there was all this stuff, okay?
There were all these investments in private companies that people didn't know about and investments in restaurants.
And when you started to then have to value this, as I and the accountants and the estate lawyers had to do, you started to get in touch with the proprietors of the restaurants and the business owners.
And you've been one, so you may know exactly where I'm going with this.
That financial autopsy of my friend, Fred, showed what everybody kind of knew, which he wanted to help people.
He didn't want to just make money.
He saw people starting businesses and he wanted to help them.
And that forensic that came out of it made me and everybody love Fred even more than we already did because of how much he just wanted to help people.
Now, he also made sure he had enough money to live his life.
He wasn't betting his life savings on the local Italian restaurant that was just starting up.
But I want people to think about that.
