Transcript

It's a common question. If I give you a billion dollars, would you be happy? And everyone's like, yeah, of course I'd be stoked if you gave me a billion dollars. But then I ask, if I give you a billion dollars, but you only have 24 hours left to live, would you take it? And everyone's like, absolutely not. So the opportunity up, priceless.
