You should always build a company that a public company could always buy.

It's not mom-and-pop time anymore.

A business that's not run properly or set up properly for an exit is probably not running well anyway.

That's how you gain real wealth.

And they're like, "Let me tell you something, my man.

I DM him, he doesn't respond to me.

I'm like, "You sure you have the right Instagram for this guy?" I get his manager on the phone.

His manager puts him on the phone with Drake.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.
