0:00How do you feel about that? I'm good with it. When you say I'm good with it, what what do you mean? If I die tomorrow, I'm good with it. Like I want to leave it all on the field. I'm going to try as hard as I can. And I know that no one will remember me on a long enough time horizon. And I'm good with that. Like I'm cool with it.
0:28If I told you you're going to die tomorrow, would you be sad? I'd probably hang out with Layla. >> [laughter] >> Mhm. A little I guess a little more than I always do, but like um I would say I wouldn't be sad. I'd be bummed. I'd be like, man, there's all this I want to do. Uh but I don't think I'd be like depressed. I think I'd be I mean, mind you, to be fair, maybe I'll find out and maybe I'll get hit by a bus tomorrow, but um no, I think like I've lived life the way I want to live life.
0:56And I'm good with it. If you were to go today, had you really like given it everything? Had you lived the life you feel like you were really destined to live? Me? Absolutely. An interesting mind trick around the same topic is so when when Betty White dies, right, at 99 or whatever, like people are like, she lived a good life. But when Kobe dies before his time, right, it's a big deal.
1:25And I see that as a contrast between expectations and reality. And I'm going to tell a story that hopefully people don't take the wrong way. But I had a cat and really liked the cat. And it died at 2 years old. Really liked it, young guy, heart thing or something, whatever. And I remember being like really bummed about it. And I was like, huh? How can I not think that? >> [laughter] >> And so I was like, the only reason I'm bummed is because I think that he should have, should being the the big word that everyone likes to use, he should have lived longer. I was like, what if cats only lived 6 months and I got to have him for 2 years?
2:03I was like, I'd probably be pretty stoked about that. And all of a sudden, I was significantly less sad about it. And I was like, I got to have him for 2 years. I was like, awesome. And so I think like for for me, for us, whatever, um if we were to change our expectation like people think they should live until everyone thinks they're going to live to 100, which is kind of interesting cuz like the average life expectancy is 74 and if you're like 36, you're middle-aged if you actually do the math, which no one wants to do uh being middle-aged at 36.
2:33>> [laughter] >> I know, right? >> want to go there. Yeah. But I think if we shift our expectations that like expectations is the thing. It's the it's the whole idea. >> right? And so we can if we expected if I expected that I was supposed to have lived 20 years and I made it to 33, stoked. Jesus lived till 33. He did a lot more than I have. You know what I mean? And so I'm good with it. If I die tomorrow, like only reason I would be upset is is if I demanded from the universe that I live longer.
3:05But like 500 years ago, average life expectancy was like 35, you know? It was just not like Dark Ages. Real quick, if you are a business owner and you are not growing as fast as you'd like, I'd like to give you a free gift. So, my team and I put together the 100 million-dollar scaling road map, which is basically 200 hours of us looking over all the portfolio companies we've had and what stages of growth they went through and more importantly, where they got stuck and how they got past it. And so we broke it into these 10 stages and we made this little kind of quiz thing where if you put in your business information, it'll tell you where you're at and the most important part for you, what to do for each of functions of the business across product, marketing, sales, customer success, recruiting, IT, human resources, and finance. And so, no matter what you're struggling with, someone else has already struggled with it and solved it. And so I'd like to give you this thing absolutely free. You can go to acquisition.com/roadmap, plug in your business information, and and if you want us to actually help you deconstruct the business and you're trying to scale, we'd love to help you out. On the thank you page, you can just book a call with my team, and we will look at the business, see if we can help, and if we can, we'll invite you out to Vegas, and we'll do this in person live.
