What would those three truths be for you? Number one, my family, because they are, especially my kids, they are the embodiment of, I hope they're the embodiment of what I am. Number two is joy. Without joy, there is no life. There is no wealth in misery. How many successful people are miserable? I think you can spike to success, but if you don't have joy, it fades.

How many successful people commit suicide and drugs and alcohol? Joy is everlasting. And I think the third one is empowerment. I think if you would hope that when you leave that you've empowered somebody in their life to do something better.

It's one of the great things about Shark Tank. Where was I just the other day? Somebody gave me a card and thanked me for being on the show and how much it affected them and their family. And I think, how great is that? To be on a show that inspires so many people for 21 years.

Geez, that's such a great question because my dad was a great man and my mom was a great person. And my definition of greatness would be fulfillment of potential. So My dad never made any real money. But I think considering the pain and life he had, that man wrung every moment of his life. If I did nothing but what my dad did, that wouldn't have been greatness. Because I was given more.

Those that are given more need to do more. Those that have being given more, need to find greater purpose. So I never think that it just wasn't enough. Like I couldn't have achieved any level of greatness if I just simply did what my parents did. And I think a lot of people listening, it's the same thing, is you've got to find your own purpose. Yeah. That's beautiful.

So well said, because I think, you know, it goes back to God and faith. I think that There's no one external that's going to do it for you. But the signs are there. Yes. And you never know how the dots connect until you look back. That's true. When... When I first, when Kevin and I first got on Shark Tank, we started in Canada. We started a show called Dragon's Den.
