I want to be the best at anything.

So if I'm doing something bad, I gotta be the best.

Exactly.

Terrible.

Right.

But what, what jail does,

did is it like, it was a recent, I need to become, what happened to me?

What did I do?

What were my values that like, so example, if you would have asked me at the age of 26, you know, what's the purpose of a business?

I'd say the purpose of a business is to make money as much as you can.

But in reality, that's not the purpose or the function of a business.

The function of a business is to monetize value.

So you have something of value and you build a business that allows you to deliver that value to a lot of people in a cost-effective way.

So you make a profit.

The more people you help, the more money you make.

But it's not like you don't go into business, I'm going to make money.

It's to monetize something of value, right?

So today, like when I go out, from the moment I left jail, I haven't engaged in one transaction, done one deal or brought something to the market that I didn't think I was giving a lot more value than what I was charging for it.

I do.

I trade all the time.
