, I've spent 26 years with this man. If I could sign up for 100 more lifetimes with him, I would do it right now because he is just one of the great people on this planet.
A lot of people misunderstood why I was doing what I was doing, or even what I was doing. Then other people were actually kind of pissed off about it.
I think it causes the business to probably take you a little more seriously and to believe in you more. That’s a meaningful thing to me.
