It's a lot of things.
There are things that Ovitz has taught me over the years.
In the early parts of my collecting, there was a painting that I wanted and they didn't offer me that one.
They offered me the consolation prize instead.
And I was talking to Ovitz or Stu.
I'm like, what do you think?
Should I take it?
And they said, no, because if you do.
You're the patsy.
They're going to know that they can keep giving you consolation prizes.
Ultimately, they want you as a collector.
So if they realize you're only going to buy what you want to buy, they'll ultimately give you what you want if you play along and play ball.
But if you're the guy they can give second tier and third tier work to, you will always be the guy they give second and third tier work to.
That's funny.
There's that aspect of it.
And a lot of it is just staying top of mind.
What works best with me and what works best for me in venture also.
I see early stage seed companies at a high level of frequency because I stay top of mind for my founders who have friends that might be starting companies.
I stay top of mind for angel investors that are actively grooming the next generation of founders and are looking for people to introduce them to lead their seed round.
In the art world, it's the same thing.
