Roger, I want to actually kind of a strange question, you know, a lot of people in life and even in

0:04.8

this crypto space, they dream of being rich. And yet for you, this is something I think you

0:13.4

probably accomplished early on. And I was wondering if maybe you could glean some of knowledge of your

0:20.1

knowledge or experience in this space because it sounds like your relationship with money is

0:25.8

different than a lot of people out there. A lot of people say, once I become rich, my life will

0:30.0

be fine. Then I'll be happy. Then I'll get the wife I want. And yet anyone who's made money

0:34.5

knows that that doesn't really happen that way. And yet you got to learn this lesson early on,

0:39.2

Roger. And so I'm curious, what's your relationship with money been like over the years? And can you

0:45.2

give any wisdom to people out there that are, you know, waiting until they get this to allow

0:50.3

themselves to be happy, you know, to do all those things they're doing? I know it's probably a strange

0:55.1

question, but I think it's something you can answer that maybe a lot of people can.

0:59.2

1:10.2

prison, we're pretty hard and I didn't have the right mindset. But once I had been in there and

1:14.9

started to have the right mindset, even in prison, you can be happy. You just have to have the right

1:19.5

mindset and look at everything the right way. So one example of that, there was a fun letter that

1:22.9

was circulating around in the prison. It was called like the top 100 things about being in prison.

1:28.7

And at first, you think like what could be the good things about being in prison? There's nothing

1:33.4

good about being in prison. And granted, I would much rather be on the outside than in prison,

1:38.5

but there actually are a lot of nice things about being in prison if you have the right mindset.

1:43.5

And so some examples of these things that were on the list about the top 100 things about being

1:47.5

in prison is you don't have to worry about what you're going to cook for dinner.
