You have this contraption on the desk in front of us. This thing here. Yeah. So many people talk to me about this device, and it's quite strange how important people say that this device is and what it tells us. I was doing some reading beforehand. It's a grip strength device. reader monitor. And there's some really crazy stats that I found.

There was a 2015 Lancet study across 17 countries that found for every five kilogram decrease in grip strength, it was associated with a 16% high risk of death, a 17% high risk of heart disease, and a 7% high risk of stroke. And a 2018 study in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease found that people with low grip strength had a 68% high risk of developing Alzheimer's.

There was another study that linked it to other cardiovascular and blood issues. And another study that shows that older adults in the lowest third of grip strength were 2.5 times more likely to fall and be hospitalized with their injuries. And one study found that grip strength predicted upper body strength by 70%.

And lastly, adults over 65 with weak grip strength were 2.1 times more likely to become dependent in daily activities within three years. That was in the Journal of... Gerontology, grip strength.

So it's not the strength in which we can grip that matters necessarily, but... the thing that matters is upstream from that and downstream is our ability to grip. So it's just one, it's almost like a symptom of something upstream, which is positive.

Left and right. All right, let's see. I'm going to ask some of my team members if they want to give it a shot. All right, here we go. Wow. 130 on that side. And your left side? Let's see. Anyone else want to do it better?

I started my first business at 12 years old, and then I started more businesses at 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18. And at that time, what I didn't realize is that being a founder with no money meant that I also had to be the marketeer, the sales rep, the finance team, customer service, and the recruiter.
