I leveraged my credit cards. You know, I bought it at 21. I sold it at 24. So no seller financing, nothing. You just, what'd you pay for it? $15,000. All in for this company. Well, then I raised some venture capital because I'd met some VCs. I raised about $3 million in venture capital about 21 years old. Leveraged that to then scale the business and then sold it at 24.

Two entrepreneurs that were struggling with a vitamin company came to me at Sky Pipeline. The company that I was operating was VC funded. I took an interest in them. They told me about their business model. It was highly scalable, external sales force. I had a friend, one of my investors at Sky Pipeline owned a company called Party Light Candles.

and they had a 60,000 person home party business that was doing billions in sales. So I thought to myself that I could get them involved and I could help these two young entrepreneurs. That's what I did. So you can put that together. Yeah.

No, well, I bought it. I organized the buyout at about 20,000 a month, scaled it to 65 million a month and then sold it. Yeah. I mean, so, okay. So where did you learn how to do this? You learn everything as you go. That's the secret. Everybody that we see, like Elon Musk and everybody, they just learn it as they go. Every day you wake up and you learn it as you go.

None of these people had any of this stuff figured out that they have figured out now when they started. It's just every day you have to have principles and a philosophy to figure it out as you go. Dude, that is such the right answer. That's it. And you meet these people that are doing remarkable things and you go to tour Elon's facility now and you say, how could I ever get to this level?

He figured it out as he went. Every day he made mistakes. He made errors. He took risks that were absurd and dumb. He figured it out as he went and he just got better every day to now. He's the Elon Musk that we know.

No, no, not at all. I didn't learn very much in a classroom at all, even though I did go to computer sciences and then eventually- They're not teaching about VC capital raising. I took some business classes and some marketing classes that were very valuable as part of my program. But no, it was all self-learning for the most part. And then mentorship.
