Oren Klaff 4:40
Yeah, I think you know, the story I told him when I got off the board of this company, that we were trying to sell the $6 million fee. It wasn’t just the fee. I’ve worked on it for over two years. And so too, you know, and just going I just work on a fucking deal for two years with half my time. What else could I have done with that time? Family self work contribution community relationships, you know, it’s been working on crappy, you know, medical services. So that was a low point for sure. I woke up and going two years gone. And certainly, you know, a high point

Jeremy Weisz 5:22
really quick on the low point or in how do you then your mentality how do you actually come back quick? What do you tell yourself? Is there self talk after that, because you could you could dwell on I just spent two years in, sit in a corner, but I’m assuming I know you probably don’t do that. So what are you telling yourself internally to just get out of that?
