If you want to ideally plan the perfect exit, The perfect exit is selling right at the top, which is too hard to plan. But when you're growing really fast and you know it's going to slow down, that's ideally when you want to do a transaction. It's very hard to time that.

I think it's just a good thing to give back. It's like, why do you do a toy drive each year? I don't think you do a toy drive because you need to do a toy drive. I think you just genuinely enjoy it. And if people are part of something that is a bigger cause, I think it creates amazing culture. It brings people together. And it truly gives...

enjoyment like you look at the smiles on the faces that you're creating by giving them something whether it's toys or money or helping out from the fires it's a nice feeling to help others you go buy something that you may think is cool like a fancy car you'll have enjoyment for a week or a month but after that it goes away you become numb to it

Yeah, and then you're just like, I need another card. Okay, when's this ever ending? It never ends.

I'm married, so the wife picks, so I don't really. Some charities, I get text message. Like, I think you texted me, I don't know when, a few months ago. You're like, I need money for something, toys. Was it toys? It was toy drive, yeah. It was toy drive, and you just sent me a link, and I just donated because you sent me a link. I didn't really read it. I just said, cool, Dan's doing a toy drive.

It's not like you're making money by giving away toys. Definitely not. All right, sounds good. It's Christmas. Someone needs toys. Click a button.

And a lot of the money goes towards that versus actually the causes.

And there's nothing wrong with that because you do need staff to run these charities. I don't have Bill Gates money. So I want my money, this is just my own selfish desire, to go to the people who are in need, not the people who are running the organizations, even though they do need compensation.
