So I'm, I look at things, what's the simplest thing?

Like I have shares, you're going to buy them.

I'm going to take the money.

And that was just kind of the thing.

Nobody brought it up.

So is it, is there some tax advantage to that strategy?

Yeah.

So I tried to start looking at like, how do I do all this tax planning stuff?

And what I found is it consumed more of my head and time where I couldn't run the business the way I wanted.

And finally, I was just like, screw it.

I'll just pay the taxes because I'm going to grow the business so much bigger, faster that it's just not worth screwing around.

Uh, you know, business, marriage, whatever, there's going to be ups, there's going to be downs and you got to be able to, you know, take the good with the bad.

You got to keep pushing through, um, and, uh, you know, admire when things don't go your way and figure out how to make them go your way.

technically it's in my name, but in California and marriage, all that, like it's, it's very, very cool.

Uh, neither of us are doctors.

I walked out of college after six weeks, never went back.

She never even went to college.

Uh, we have no degrees.

Uh, we have no, you know, reason to be in the position we were in and we just did it because I don't give a fuck about the rules.

Yeah.
