0:00Guy reached out to me and he says, "Hey, you said you don't know how to get to a billion. I want to give you some advice." He says, "With no businesses, right?" And I'm like, "Dude, first off." >> [laughter] >> Point one. But the second point is I said not that I don't know how to, but I would never say I know how to until I'm there. And then I'll say, "This is how I did it." And here's the nuance. It's not like, "Here's how you do it." Or, "Here's how to do it." "Here's how I did it." No one can fight you on that. It's like saying, "You should have oatmeal for breakfast." versus "I had oatmeal for breakfast." No one can fight me on "I had oatmeal for breakfast." I had oatmeal for breakfast.
