You know, if you can take that person that came from nothing and allow them an environment where they're fostered into growing that, that has a higher meaning to me going to my grave than looking at what I'm handing off to my kids for an inheritance, right?

Well, it's funny you say that because I always tell people that I really didn't discover my entrepreneurship until I was in, you know, I'm 52 now. It was probably only the last five to six years.

Come over here, invest in yourself, invest in your people, blow it through the roof. If you fail, get back on the horse and start over again. Yeah.

I mean, you you had to, you know, unless you were part of the mob, you weren't getting in. Yeah, I agree. And so I think, you know, for the young entrepreneurs that are out there, ask, ask, ask and be humble. And people will give you more information than you can even even tolerate.
