monthly annual income that they were making plus get paid out for their their capital as part of the acquisition and now in this higher interest rate positive real interest rate environment that's just not financially sustainable right if you're a business owner and if you get a check for your ownership interest in that business then Ja, genau.
um you know there's a lot of a lot of investors that are kind of frankly holding the bag and not not all of them certainly but you know there are some that are in some real tough uh positions that are going to have to exit at um unfavorable multiples unfavorable cash on cash returns and that's going to have to work itself through the system particularly in any sort of sort of owner operator professional services model no 100 i think that's a fascinating additional take that whenever vintage and and
Yeah, I would just say, you know, as we're working through this regime change that I feel like we've been talking about for at least a year, maybe almost two years, it will take time to work out. There are challenges, but, you know, those challenges...
create opportunities right so there are definitely opportunities for investors for operators might require some short-term pain of exiting certain companies or businesses or segments of the market but as as the regime evolves into this new sort of positive real interest rate environment that looks very much like other cycles did again we've talked about this before but the
The 15 or so years between the global financial crisis and the pandemic, where interest rates were very low, that was the aberration. Now we're working back towards normalcy. And as we work through this transition, there will be a lot of really great opportunities for savvy investors and savvy operators.
Ja, ich bin froh, dass ich hier bin. Elliott Davis ist eine große öffentliche Accounting-Konsultation, Audit-Taxi-Advisory-Firma.

Well, from the moment I met Paul Reubens, he said to me, I want to direct my own documentary. But everybody's telling me I shouldn't do it, and I don't understand why. And I said, well, I'm here to meet with you about me directing the documentary. And that dynamic didn't go away.
We were a little competitive in the process because Paul was somebody who totally separated himself from his alter ego, Pee Wee Herman. And I was sort of asking him to bring those two things together. So he was a little rebellious in the interview.
What's your agenda? My whole pitch to him is I want to make a portrait of an artist. You know, he wanted to really set the record straight and overcome some of the controversies from his arrest. And I said, well, you know, that's the easy part. The harder part is to really look inward. Who are you really as a person who the world doesn't know, even though your character is so iconic?
You know, I think Paul felt comfortable talking about his artistry and less comfortable talking about the controversies that surrounded it. But he was determined to overcome those controversies. So I was there to help him do it, but he really wanted creative control. It was a little like his Achilles heel. And so we were at odds. And some time went by where we weren't working together.
And it was only at the end, before Paul died, that I was able to talk to him, and he wanted to move forward. I didn't know what was going on behind the scenes.
No idea at all.
There was a time where we weren't working together. We were trying to find a path forward, and we couldn't. But fortunately, I was able to talk to him toward the end, and I could tell something was up. But I had no idea of the gravity of it. I was supposed to do a final interview with him the week after he died.
Yeah, it changed who I am as a kid.
I grew up on Pee Wee's Playhouse. I wouldn't have been able to put words to it, but I think its message of radical acceptance and creativity, it changed who I am.
So it was thrilling to be able to work with Paul and to kind of be in his mind.
Somewhere in between, I think there was a barbed element to our conversations, but it was also fun.
You know, it wasn't really about me. I mean, Paul was wrestling with himself to tell his authentic story. And I was just there bearing witness to the whole thing. And we had an incredible time. It was really fun doing 40 hours of interview. But it could be tense. It could be competitive. And he could be slippery and rebellious.
But when he snapped into storytelling mode, he was one of the most riveting people I've ever spoken to.
I mean, it was the largest responsibility I've ever been given in my life.
