And before we get to the book, which I want to deep dive, you've mentored and advised countless startups, right?

Right.

For those that are watching, for those that are listening, what's the most common blind spot that you see or have seen in like early stage founders?

Sure.

That's why you are who you are, man.

That's why I love listening to you.

You know, I was telling you before, like, I love how you break things down simply.

And that it's relatable to everyone.

And I appreciate you the most for that.

One question that I've always wanted to ask you, Eddie, is this, like knowing who you are and all the great things that you do, how do you balance innovation in a highly regulated industry, right?

Or industries, because I know you're in multiple industries, but most of the industries you're in are highly regulated.

So how do you balance innovation with that?

It's like anything.

Wow.

So it's fascinating that in that county in Louisiana, which we will keep nameless, the only pink paper happens to be sold.

You know, that actually says something to entrepreneurs too, right?

It's like, hey, if you're going to own a market or own an idea, make sure you've got it really nailed down so that they have to use specifics to get things done, right?

Like that's the business strategy right there in and of itself.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.
