And it would make sense for me that my path would be different than most people's because I don't behave like most people. And so I would have to have a different formula for how I drive life. you know, meaning or joy from my own life.

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? Because I don't need to work anymore.

And that was, you know, we'd taken 40 out before the sale, and then we obviously got the sale. So like, I don't need to work. I like to work. And I try to spend, I look at, you know, I had this boss that told me this and was one of the catalysts for looking at life this way. She said, I had just had like a good weekend or something. And I came in like chipper.

And she said, well, you must've had a good weekend. And I was like, yeah, it was good. And she said, this was like an offhanded comment. She said, I'm pretty sure the key to happiness is living as many days in a row like that as you can. And it was actually like really operational. Like I could, I was like, I can use this. Like, what are the good days?

How do I live as many of those days in a row as I can? And so I've, you know, I've been attacked for like saying that I don't really enjoy going on vacation very much. And it's because like, I just want to get, I just want to get back to doing the thing that I really enjoy doing. And I remember we, Layla and I went to Mexico this year for a week.

And it's always during the week of Christmas because no one works and it drives me nuts. And I've just like, I've just given up trying to get, you know, work. Because even if my team will work, because my team will, because they're crazy too, other teams won't. And vendors won't. Anyway. And so while we were there, all I came out with was like, this is for other people and not me.

Comma, and that's okay.

Comma, and that's okay.

Can I throw something out that I think might, like, so this blew my mind. So I was in around that same period of time, because I talked to everybody I could to try and get context on this. And so I called a friend of mine up, or not friend, I would say acquaintance that I got connected with, who'd sold his company for hundreds of millions of dollars. Really bright guy.
