Key takeaways

  • We're sitting across the table from a very experienced business person being like, "Please help us." So my CFO in Jim Lo, she was the very end of her career, super experienced, and she was like, "I'll take this one last ride with you guys." [music] One of the things that she taught me that I I'll never forget is she said, "The grass is always greener on the other side.
  • You just don't know that it's fertilized with shit." She's southern, so she's like, "There's always [ __ ] You just have the [ __ ] you don't know about and the [ __ ] you do know about, and you're in this business, and so this is the [ __ ] you know." It was one of those things that I just always had.
  • I would see somebody doing like, "Oh man, I mean, I should be getting into that like that.
  • I'm sure there's tons of problems that I don't know about.
