Brad StainesHostI mean, speaking to
you earlier on, one thing that came across was the amount of knowledge and skills that you have so far at the age that you are is really good, actually.
regardless of what it is monetary lifestyle whatever it is but one thing um so like i look at like life is a journey so you know you know and we're not here for very long and you kind of want to fill that journey with as many experiences as you possibly can good and bad because the bad teaches you things you definitely don't like in your life so you steer clear of those which is just as valuable but ideally you want to lean towards a more positive side of things You've kind of fast-tracked that at quite a young age, which is very admirable.
And like you say, I think because your level of needs, let's say, isn't Rolls-Royce, isn't all this, you think, well, actually, I'm good at here.
You've got all these new companies you're starting to invest in, which is brilliant.
But it's like you've melt that, and now you're reaping the rewards for the lifestyle that you lead, which is pretty amazing.
So all from that sort of like that being thrown under the bus and kind of pushing you over the edge, really, isn't it? Right.
And I think my when people say to me, oh, have you got any fears and stuff like that? I do.
It's getting to a point in my life and looking back when history could have told me and history does tell us.
I think I'll tie this into a book, which I think had a big part of my mindset, is that I don't want to get to a point in my life where I look back and I think.
For what? Oh, you know, I wanted to keep up with them or I wanted to look the part.
And I think that really, you know, I'm a big believer in learning from history.
And one of the books that does impact, you know, if you really take it all in, it will have a big impact.
