The superlative

Gerund

when it comes to earning, investing and saving?

I'll give you more than one, I'll give you two.

First one is, when I started making some money,

I was getting the new car, I was blowing money,

Because I thought, that that's what you're supposed to do,

when you have money, you kinda show it off,

"Hey, look at me, and I'll buy people dinners."

because I didn't know when you make money,

money are flying in, money are coming in so fast,

I wish I wasn't so insecure, making decisions,

doing stupid things, buying things to impress people,

that really doesn't really matter, right?

'F.U. Money', that most people buy things

I was investing in things I didn't understand.

"now you have some money, I could invest in

"certain tech companies and things like that

"and the entrepreneur would work very hard,

all 10 lost money, all 10 motherfucking deals lost money.

I only invest in stuff that I can control.

Meaning I am a very, I'm an active investor.

I wanna be involved, I wanna have some say in management.

I wanna have some say in the direction of the company.

I want to see how I can add value to the company.

I want to see how I can help the entrepreneur,

you can get capital, that's not the difficult part.

The difficult part is finding a strategic partner,

It could be mentorship, could be connection, network.

It could be social capital, social following, brand power.

It's much better when you have a strategic partner

when you take on him or her as an investor,

they can bring much more to the table beyond

than just capital, beyond than just one thing.
