Man, I'm pumped for Nick and team.

Yeah, I'm an owner of a biz that kinda competes with Shepherd, but I genuinely want Nick and company to succeed.

I find that if I think in terms of worst case scenarios, failure doesn’t seem so bad.

Worst case, I fail at what I’m doing today, lose it all, and go back to a W2.

That’s not so bad, really.
