Andrew Abernathy. Welcome back to the podcast, man.

Appreciate it. Long time follower, first time meeting, dude.

I feel like I've known you for like a decade plus. And here we are. First time.

What's up, buddy? How you doing? It's showtime, man. So for people, you've been on the show twice.

So for people that haven't listened to you before, tell us a little bit about who you are, what you do, what's your world today. Yeah, Andrew Abernathy. I got three awesome boys from North Dakota, started a Berkshire holding

company called Abernathy Holdings when I was in my teenage years. We covered that in Lasco

podcasts. The goal of it is pretty simple to buy and or start companies' divisions within

holdings, put great people leading those companies. So a decentralized

management, centralized capital allocation model, and have a company that's never done a dividend.

It's a permanent capital vehicle to simply grow wealth at a higher clip than the average market.

That's the goal. Over the years, we've gotten into many things, but we have three divisions.

We have equipment dealerships. We've got our

self-storage division, which is our largest, vertically integrated. And we also have mobile home parks.

Those are communities. So that's where we're at today. We've got a $200 million dollar valuation

and I'm working my way to a billion and beyond. Yeah. So is that for the company value overall or like

the assets under management? The asset standard management is higher because we have JV relationships. Yeah. So is that for the company value overall or like the assets under management?

The asset standard management is higher because we have JV relationships. Correct. So that's just

the valuation for Abernathy Holdings. We've got over a quarter billion dollars in our pipeline

just for storage, let alone the other companies on the real estate side, but just the equity book

value for holdings, that's separate. So how old are you right now, and even if you

kind of let off the gas today, just through compounding and debt pay down? Like when do you think

you hit the billion? So I'm 31 today. The company should hit a billion by the time I'm 40, 41.
