That's how many people are just in groves moving down to Texas.
With entrepreneurship, there's a huge environmental factor, meaning if you spend time with other entrepreneurs—
their risk-taking, their appetite rubs off on you, even if that's not your natural propensity.
So you'll see a lot of, within technology specifically, they'll have incubators, they'll have little hubs in Silicon Valley, also in New York City, where...
People who are working on tech startups basically work together.
Right.
And they're sharing resources and they're sharing ideas.
And so in Texas, there's a lot of movement.
There's very much like a cowboy spirit.
And so that's definitely an area where you're seeing a lot of new job creation, small business activity.
Right.
Well, 85% of us are wired to feel fear first.
So when you face that fork in the road, you're not going to be the one that jumps off the cliff.
You're going to be the one who thinks about, well, this X, Y, Z can go wrong.
And so we're basically taught within our society, you want to weigh the pros and cons.
Exactly.

They take action and then they mitigate the downside risk.
But what you're taught is don't do a goddamn thing until you figure out everything that can go wrong.
