What's he got going on, by the way? He's got a life. He's got kids. He's got things going on, you know, like, we all do, right? So it's like being nice.

They can block and tackle while you're out there trying to be the Tom Brady of your business for life. And we. We all need them. We need the line, we need the quarterback, we need the receivers, we need the kickoff. We need all these players. And don't be a solopreneur. That's. That's like the worst. Being a solopreneur is absolutely the worst for everything you're building, because when you die, everything you care about goes out the window.
