Now, some people have lived their lives where their love life and their happiness and their work are all separate. For me, it has just been life. And I like it that way. And for the people who are upset by that, I'm not upset about how you live your life. I just choose to live it this way. And if in the future... I change my mind, I'll change my life.

But when I look at the centenarians and I look at the people who, I look at Warren Buffett as somebody, and Charlie Munger as two of my heroes, Charlie worked until the day he died. And to be clear, I don't work on a seven-day calendar. I don't work a certain hour.

I work as much as I can until I feel like my rate of output drops precipitously because of fatigue, and then I sleep. And then if I feel like on a longer time horizon of like I've worked nine days, I've worked 20 days, I've worked 30 days in a row, and I'm like, all right, I feel like I don't have any gas today. then I'll take the whole day off.

And whether that's a Tuesday or a Sunday or a Saturday, I take the day off. And that just is what it is. And I've just, I have learned to work that way and I am okay with it.

And so Jesse Itzler has this, and maybe I'll be able to steal it from him someday. But he told, I saw him show a picture of his kid finishing a race and putting a zero up. And what that signified was nothing left in the tank, that he'd spent everything he had on the field.

And I would, and it's like I have this visual of the 300 movie where the queen says to the king as he goes off to battle, she says, come back with your shield or on it. And I kind of see like my work that way. Like I can't imagine a better way to go out than like doing the thing I love. And it bothers a lot of people that I love something different than they love.
