And people will probably see this as a, they'll put whatever labels they want on it. But like, I just said, this is what I would like to do with my life.

And at that point... What we got to talk about was what we were creating together. And to me, that's been the journey of my life. And it's been amazing. And I'm not saying it works for everyone. I would say it probably doesn't work for most people. But it has worked really well for me.

And since I don't believe in inherent meaning, just the meaning that we choose to ascribe to things, then it's up to me to create that meaning within the work that I do. And so the reason acquisition.com was all based on, and it was during that year where I just basically had nothing to do, where I was like, what do I want to do with my life?
