When I realized I don't give two what the other guy's doing, I want to know. Here's what I'm great at, here's what I want to be known for, and here's what I want to do. I don't care what you do. I don't care what he does. I don't care what Russell Branson does. I don't care, because it doesn't matter. I can be inspired by him. I could pull pieces from him here and there. I don't know how to do that. I'm never going to learn it. I have people I hire to do it, but that's like 20 years later. If I was going to start anything, it wouldn't be in real estate at all anyways. Why? Because technology is amazing. If I was a tech guy, I'd be making 100 times more money than I make today. But I'm not. So instead I invest in them. I invest in companies that are producing revenue today. If you're making over 250 grand a year in your company, I want to work with you somehow. Maybe I have equity. Maybe I bring cash. Maybe I bring knowledge. That's what I'm good at. Growth. I'm not good at the tactical technical details. I'm good at growth. I'm good at the vision building. I'm good at the driver. It takes all of us, guys. It takes all of us. And it's all timing. Shane, that's a real answer, by the way.
