If you sacrifice your 20s, maybe 5 to 10 years of your 20s, and you really push through it, you grind through it, I would say that I have no regrets trading off the additional parties. In fact, I would've traded off more of those parties at the end of the day because I would've gotten to where I wanted to go faster. And in life, there's no perfect solution. There's only trade-offs. And the trade-off was my 20s. But now I'm set up, I believe my mind is really set up for the rest of my life because those 10 years you learn so much. You might think you learn a lot from college or high school, But the school of hard knocks teaches you the most. It's the school of making it happen that teaches you the most. And in those 10 years, my God, you're setting the foundation for the future and you're still going to continue to learn. But you've built that learning habit, you've built that humility, and you've built that habit of also building relationships with other people. And I'm an introvert, by the way. A lot of people think I'm extroverted, but you just learn how to do these things over time. And the sooner you learn to do these things, the better. So that's what I would say. Absolutely, it was worth it.
