Sam SchneiderHostThis is the most interesting part, I think, of my career is I made that pivot.
I started a company called N2 Realty with my brother at the time, and it failed, right? And so fast forward of why it failed, but it was a bad timing and all that kind of stuff.
But I made a big decision where I pivoted away from a really great opportunity that could have been forever.
And my first big time on my own, I'm like, I'm ready to go.
And within 18 months, the company failed.
And that was a huge hit to like my understanding of myself.
Was this the right decision? Was it not right decision? And it was, I learned a lot from it, but it was a huge change.

You got to capitalize on them when they happen.

He's like, not all moments in life are the same.
They all don't have the same value.
And if I heard that as a younger entrepreneur, I would have panned that as like, oh, that just sounds like a phrase that sounds good.
But I think it's really true.
On a personal side and on the business side, not all moments have the same value.
And there are certain moments where...
And if you've thought deeply or you have the backup or you have the industry experience or the relationships or even on the personal side, if you've kind of brought yourself to a moment, then you're prepared.
