But four years ago, when I was about to turn 50 in January of 2016, my wife was going to throw a party for me. And it was just kind of a time of reflection at that point. Wow, I'm turning 50.

And I thought, I feel like professionally I'd done not everything, but I'd done a lot of what I wanted to accomplish as an agent. And what else could I do? What other skills did I have?
