And he wanted to lose some weight.

So I was, this is well before the four-hour body.

So I was helping him get in shape.

And I was like, hey, do you mind if we just like after the workouts or whatever, like we can trade information on that.

He also wanted to know about PR and launch for the four-hour work week.

So we, I would, I would share all that.

And I'd say, can you just explain the deals you're doing?

Like, how are you choosing them?

Why yes?

Why no?

And eventually at one point I was like, hey,

I'm willing to put skin in the game, and I can be really cheap labor.

Like, is there any chance I could invest small amounts along with you into some of these startups?

and help them with go-to-market strategy, whatever.

And he's like, well, I can ask.

And what I decided to do was rather than go to graduate school, I'd take the cost that I would have paid out of pocket, sunk cost.

So I think Stanford Business School is like 60K for two years.

60K, 60K, 120.
