Yep. I’m crushing it at my day job but I’m not creating anything that has enterprise value that I can eventually sell. The guys I’m working for on the other hand will probably cash out and walk with $20 million each here in a year or two. So I may eventually step away from a very comfortable living to gamble on a product I’m starting with my daughters. With that product, I can see a path to a very big exit.
