Transcript
Okay, so I'm here in the Chicago area, just visiting for my dad's 80th birthday. And, you know, the thing I'm reminded of when I, when I come back here about why I left is the small mindedness of the whole place. And I don't mean like as it relates to people. Like, if you go to a decent college, or you go off to like a medical school or something like that, you're some kind of raging success. And I don't think like Chicago, Naperville is like the place for big thinking. I know to each their own, but I'm just telling you, this channel is for entrepreneurs. I don't think like Chicago, Naperville is like the place for big thinking.
