Oh, totally.

I feel like I was excited about being partners with Missy because she was such an amazing creative and I could hopefully...

follow her expertise in creativeness and an expertise of financial management.

And if we could marry those two and find the perfect balance between art and commerce, I really believe there could be magic there.

And if we found that perfect balance, it would be

how we treat others, the people that worked with us, if we really nailed it.

And that would create magic.

And to me, I wanted to understand why people always said you couldn't make money in restaurants.

I would tell some friends in finance that I was thinking about doing this with Missy, those four months that she was saying no to me every night.

Most of them said, don't do it.

We've invested in restaurants.

We never make any money back.

But I also had this feeling like there is a way.

There's got to be a way.

And I had been making a lot of friends in the industry because I was dining at these restaurants all the time for 15 years.

And I then just started going to the restaurants and asking different questions in those four months.

How do you purchase beverages?

How do you purchase food?

How do you manage payroll?

And I was getting a lot of great info and ways on how people did things.
