The funny thing was it was hard because there was no proof of concept. So it was hard because what people would ask is, hey, man, how do you know it's going to work? Because you just started. And my deal was I was like, I don't know if it will. And they would, I'm like, I don't. Here's what I do know, though. We're going to be the biggest IMO you've ever seen in your life.

We're going to go down in a ball of flames. Either way, it's going to be a lot of fun. I ain't going to hurt you. I'm not going to lie to you. And shit, you'll probably make more money than I'm going to make early on. But that's what we're going to do. But if you want me to look you in the eyes, John, and tell you I'm 100% sure we're going to succeed, I'm not 100% sure. I will not quit.

100% sure I won't quit. 100% sure I won't back down. 100% sure I'll give it everything I got. And I ain't no punk. But am I 100% sure it's going to work? No. Are you in or you're out? And the also reality was, what are you committing to? My idea is what are you committing to? Like, let's just say, let's just say, because people would say to me, you give away too much comp early on.

I'd be like, okay. And I used to tell everybody, like I go to these meetings and my competitors would be there. And I'm like, dude, don't let me make it three years. I make it three years, you're all fucked. You're so fucked. And I would do this during a meeting. I'm like, you're so fucked. If I make it three years, you're fucked. Because I give away so much of the comp.

But if a little bit of a lot becomes like a Home Depot situation and you're Smith's Hardware and you keep too much money, don't let me get there. I'm like, so you all better get together and take me out within three years. All y'all fucked. And I would say that shit all the time because I like talking shit. It's my favorite part.
