This is an explicit show.

Um, you know, one of the, one of the most important things I've learned, um, recently is that you need a big support network, um,

at home and so if the person that you're with is not like perfect for you and able to read your mind and support you and have kind of an undying devotion and commitment to you and what you want to accomplish and vice versa you will have issues in your life that that are difficult to recover from when you have to work you know 120 plus hour weeks so

I would say a 20-year-old might get out of that terrible relationship and spend some of that time and energy focused on building a business.

Yeah, absolutely.

And I ended up marrying our first customer, which is…

That's hysterical.

I am ready.

Thanks for having me.

No, actually, the University of Waterloo has a co-op program where you do four months of school and four months of work all the way until you graduate.

So it kind of shakes out to two and a half years of professional work experience.

By the time you finished.

So Research in Motion was a year of that co-op experience for me.

Yeah.

So I started Vidyard during school.

Oh, very cool.

And in fact, yeah, yeah.

So I did a I did five years of high school.

I did a program called USEP in my 50 year where I took a bunch of my final year high school classes and some first year university classes while I was still enrolled in high school.

And that kind of leapfrogged me into my university career.
