I wish I'd been bolder when I was starting my entrepreneurial career. I wish someone had said to me, whatever your dream is, Steve, when you describe it to people, times it by 10. Whatever number you're trying to raise as an investment, times it by 10.

Well, we have a closing tradition on this podcast where the last guest leaves a question for the next guest, but knowing who they're going to be leaving it for. The question that's been left for you is close your eyes and imagine yourself 10 years from now. Where are you? What are you doing? And who are you with?

You had a wasp or a bee sting that resulted in a stroke, which is what changed your mobility. If you could go back and speak to Robert before that, 20-year-old Robert, and you could just whisper something to him.

Robert, thank you so much. We're all very, very excited for your upcoming book. Oh, yeah, so am I. So you talk about urgency. We can't wait. Okay. And we're very much looking forward to it because I know how much you pour into these books and you've expressed how much you sort of agonize over it being exactly what you wanted to say. And not all authors are like that.
