You were like the gamer dude. How has that kind of evolved yourself personally? The main thing that stuck out to me is like, if you want to do big things, you need to join a team. And not just any team, you need to join an amazing team. Like World of Warcraft, I always made sure I was part of the uber guild, the best guild, right? The best team. Because you got to kill the best dragons, right? Your guild leader would call you at 3 AM and wake everybody up, like 40, 50 people, just to make sure that the other team couldn't kill a dragon. And we would stomp on them until 6 AM until they gave up, and then we'd kill the dragon, right? That's like hardcore, right? But you have to do that in business too. You got to be hardcore. You got to be a part of the best team. So, you know, put the best team together or like you got to be a part of the best community, right? Everything's a people game at the end of the day.
