And his daughter, he had his camcorder on the back of the room recording his daughter at a play.

And his wife comes up to him and says, Al, you know what your daughter said she wants at school today?

She said she wishes her dad was around more.

And he goes, Natalie, and it gives me goosebumps, but he goes, Natalie, I'm going to disappear for about a year.

I'm not going to be around as much, but I need to systematize this business.

I need to get SOPs.

I need to make sure that I can spend time with my two daughters and you.

And so we're going to go on a vacation for two weeks in one year.

And I'm not even going to look at my pager.

I mean, this is back in the day.

And Al, he met me for lunch and I handed him the book I was working on, The Home Service Millionaire.

He flipped through it and said, this is garbage.

He goes, you need to rewrite it.

And I said, okay.

And he goes, the thing that I wanted to work with you originally, Tommy, is you brought a notebook and you wrote down everything I said.

He goes, that's the only reason I thought about working with you.

He walked into my shop that day.

He goes, can we go do a shop tour?

I said, sure.

He goes, why do you have all the calendars on the wall?
