Yeah, I know.
I know, I know.
It's just, it's the appearance.
Again, I told you, lots of injections.
So I started Morgan Stanley in 1992 as an undergrad coming out of a school that is not on the radar of anyone in the country, a little tiny liberal arts school, okay?
Morgan Stanley was filled with not only Ivy League kids, but MBAs.
This was the decade of you go back to school and you come in.
So somehow or another, I was able to start at the bottom end of the firm.
And then in 1997, five years after I started, I was asked in 96, so four years later, to go to Brazil and open an office for the firm.
So how does someone that young- Big dog.
Okay, but here's the thing.
The reason that that happened is because number one, like half of the trading floor left to go to another firm.
So there weren't a lot of people left.
So this is the luck portion of your life.
So it's like, all right.
And I was trading Mexico.
The guy who was trying to open the office in Brazil,
you know, Harvard grad, had spoke Portuguese and Spanish, still one of the mentors of my career.
He got offered a bigger job in the US.
Now, when he was building out in the office in Brazil, he speaks the language.
