So welcome. Thank you for having me. I'm all the way from Hollywood, California.

So I was talking to the farmer out there. I stole an apple and I told him I grew up on a farm in Virginia but now I'm about as far away from a farm as you can be in Hollywood.

I do miss it, so it's good to be here.

I noticed this is pegged. Did anyone notice that? That's hard

to build. I live with the Amish for two and a half years. I don't know if you guys,

So I would be given a wide birth in terms of what I can talk about.

So I'm gonna combine two things.

I'm an investor, is my background.

I was here, I think we met it, was it at LBS? Is is that I did a talk at LBS on my way I did a TED Talk recently

And so I'm gonna share some of the same things that I talked about in my TED Talk

But I'll combine it since this is more

of a not a pure business audience. I thought I would bring in some of the stuff that I learned

from living with the Amish for two and a half years.

And so no electricity and now I live, you know, Beverly Hills, Hollywood, and so my life has been

one big experiment. So I own the second biggest book a day.

So I own the second biggest book club in the world after Oprah Winfrey.

She has the first largest one and I do reviews and this just started.

I think I'll start this way at this point I've been an entrepreneur for a long time

20 years and I started on a farm with an apprenticeship with a guy named Joel

Salitan who some of you may have heard of I

don't know if you've ever read the book Omnivores dilemma has anybody read that it's
