All right. New York City. I think we're gonna find a lot of entrepreneurs here. Whether they're down here on the street selling hot dogs or up there in that big building doing big deals, there are entrepreneurs everywhere here. Should we meet up with a few entrepreneurs?

No? Gotta crawl before you walk.
Not yet, but later on maybe?

I haven't started a business, but I have ambitions of starting one. Good. What are you going to do?
I don't know.
I'm trying to protect my dream though, so I don't know if I should share the details.
Oh, always share. Always share.
Yeah?
Always, because it gets better and better the more you share.

I won't. I got too many dreams of my own.
Hey, well, I'll tell you this. Whoever has a dream out there, I wish you nothing but the best. And if you want to achieve, you got to chase it wholeheartedly every day you wake up. Grind, grind, grind, and push towards that dream. And if you push hard enough, one day it will come true.
What's your name?
My name's Reggie.

I could send Bitcoin.
That's a very convenient answer. I'll tell you that. That answer is very convenient.
Terrific. God bless you, brother. Thank you. God bless you.
I wish you nothing but the best, all right?
New York, my gosh, it just keeps thriving. They've been through so much here, and they just keep coming back.
