"Listen, I say this all the time, that being an entrepreneur is a lonely journey and you need to surround yourself with other like-minded people. My family, they keep telling me, "Oh, just get a real job. Get a nine to five. “My brain doesn't work that way." I can't sit behind a computer and do the things that most people can, I'm just not wired that way. My thing is information, gathering information, retaining, and then how to simplify that information for other people to be successful and the way that they define success."  (05:42)
