Where I come from, you're either a farmer, you work in the mill, or you do construction. That's it. And I always ask my dad, why don't we own the construction company? Why don't we own the farm? Why don't we own the mill? Are you kidding me? That's not for people like us. People like us? What's that mean? And then someone drives by in a nice Corvette and they would mutter words who they screw to get that. I don't know about you guys, but I know a lot of wealthy people and they're pretty amazing people. Huge givers. They'll do anything for you. They're hungry, they're growing, they're expanding. If you say, hey, I need help here, they're like, hey, meet my friend. They'll help solve your problem. They're on it. Want to see you succeed. Success breeds success, right.
