I guess what I'm trying to get at is, like, I'm trying to break this down, because I'm in your camp.

This is what really fascinated me, is you're one of the few people that I've heard who's at the level of success that you're at preaching this type of philosophy, and I'm trying to kind of wrap my head around why this is so pervasive, this constant, and maybe it's more of a, and I could be wrong, you're pushing me, maybe it's more of just an American belief

cowboy, you know, shoot the big gun first, always kind of philosophy?

Or is this just like talking point fodder?

And because the businesses that I've seen be successful and the entrepreneurs I've seen consistently be successful have more of the philosophy that you are preaching.

there was almost like an ego trip around.

It had to be like this and nothing against Peter Thiel because I'm a fan of him and the way he thinks, but he kind of has this, you know, be a category of one type mentality.

I feel like I had the chops to do it, but I don't have some idea the

That's a category of one.

And I think it shuts them down where what you've just presented are ideas of, hey, maybe you see something working in, like you said, AAA cars, but now we can move that and say, okay, we can take this idea and maybe apply it to home service or we can apply it to, you know, insert other business.

But

But I want to go into the buying a business.
