And then I was like, oh, so now I control 7 million fans I had at one point.

And it's like, so what do you guys want to buy?

And they started telling me.

I was like, okay.

So I go over to the resources.

I'm like, hey, I'm sourcing this.

And then I got into the print-on-demand t-shirt world.

back in like 2013 2013 something like that there was a uh a brand that came out it's called teespring you know i'll give them a shout out even though they screwed me over but i got on teespring and we ended up doing like 20 million dollars in sales print on demand t-shirts never no inventory no nothing using opm other people's money to pay for it all it was kind of dreamy and um that now then i got into physical products and i was like oh this is pretty cool

And we made a bunch of money and then I lost money.

I was in the cannabis space.

I was in a restaurant.

Anywhere I could literally burn money into ashes, that's what I got involved in.

And if we're talking about actual application of thoughts, from an investment standpoint now, one of my first check boxes is can I impact this deal positively using my skillset or my network?

If not, I don't invest.

Right.

And that has served me pretty well.

And I've stopped burning money to death.

And, you know, one thing led to another.

And, you know, I got sick in 2015 and

I came out the other side of that with a completely different mindset.
