Well, the truth is they're not.

What they want from you is not relevant.

It's not important for your mandate.

And what matters long term is that you're successful.

You will keep your friends and family and you will have, you know, people don't have to like you.

They have to respect you because you can achieve things.

That's what matters.

You will always have respect if you can achieve things.

If you try and make everybody like you, you will fail.

You will fail because you'll spend your whole day dealing with noise.

That's the problem.

I 100% believe in it.

You know, my model often, if there's an operating business, someone comes to me and says, let's start this operating business.

It's my idea, but I want you as an investor.

I'll say, look, I'll do a 70-30 deal with you.

I'll do 70, you do 30.

But the minute you hire somebody that needs equity, we get equally diluted.

So we start at 70-30, and then as new people come in, we equally get diluted.

That makes the person who's running the deal, the guy with the 30%, sweat every hire because he or she is also taking the hit.

The delusion.
