they think about things at a hundred X. Like it's not 10 X anymore. It's not two X, it's not three X, it's a hundred X. How is everybody your partner? What's that collaboration? You know, what can I build to scale a hundred times? And that's had a huge influence. One, how I manage my time, right? But also that's had a huge influence on me building

a business was, okay, how do I build a business that I can scale to 100? Whatever that means. Why go small? Why take a small swing? Why not just take a big swing? My life was fine as a real estate agent. I'm gonna start my own company. I'll start four. And then I did all these TV shows. Let's do a bigger one.

And let's get to a valuation as an enterprise where we really swing for that $10 billion multiple. Why not? Why not? And I don't know how I'm going to do it right now, but I'm getting there. And we will figure it out because I will be as consistent as possible until you buy or die. You won't let go. And that is like, they are relentless in their capacity and their consistency.

And they're risk-taking. They're far bigger risk-takers than I am, that's for sure. It's scary to risk money. It's a lot, man. But life is a gamble.

I think it's a couple of things. It was the thing I woke up with on my 40th birthday, which was you're no longer waking up to be important anymore. You're now waking up to be happy. And what does that mean? Maybe it means to be important. Maybe it doesn't. But you have to ask yourself that question every day. Two, I think my 70-year-old self is telling me to remember, right?

You're never going to remember your tasks. You will only remember your adventures, right? And as much time as I spend on email and in meetings and commuting, like I'm never gonna sit there when I'm 70 and remember that email. Like it's just, no matter how much importance there is today, it will mean nothing to me in 30 years. but I will remember the adventures, right? I will remember the stories.

And I think the third thing he would say is there is nothing without being present. Like there is just that opportunity to be present, especially, you know, as Xena, my daughter's like five and you know, I spent all my time at work And how do you balance that? You have family, you have obligations, you have responsibility. Where do you find the synergy? Where do you make a difference?

And where can you be as present as possible? And just look other humans in the eye and make sure, and I kind of like this, make sure that I don't spend my entire life just being a human doing, but being a human being. Yeah.
