And they start negotiating his ability to look at the books and to have more control over the money.

And he wants to co-sign checks and things like that.

And so this goes on and on for years.

few months as they're negotiating this.

And all of a sudden, Ernesto gets an email from Chris saying, hey, change plans.

And essentially begins this telling friends and family.

Everybody starts getting these emails saying, hey, I've decided that I'm going to live my dream.

I'm sailing off into the sunset.

I met a woman in Las Vegas named Tiffany Taylor.

And I've decided to sail to the Galapagos Islands with Tiffany Taylor.
