[0:00]We need to get a picture with you or something real quick. Hey, you interview billionaires, right? You're missing the richest guy here. Who? My dad. He's here right now. My father is here right now. What he what he do? Sold a company for a lot of money. How much? Almost $500 million. You want to get him real quick? I can grab him right now. Sir. How did you get rich? What's that? How did you get rich? What'd you do? I've built some healthcare businesses. How much did you make? What was the most amount of money you made in a single year? One of the years we sold a business for $460 million that year. So he wasn't lying? No. He doesn't lie. Can I interview you for a minute real quick? Yes. Before you leave this Earth, what is one lesson that you are going to instill in your son? My boy, understand your God-given purpose and go after it with all your heart. If he really wants to succeed in business, I like to say when you're 20, you're worried about what people are going to think. At 40, you stop worrying what people think. At 60, you realize they weren't even thinking about you in the first place. You can't worry about what people think about you. No. It took me hanging around billionaires to really understand this. You have to surround yourself with rich people? Absolutely. I'm the poorest of my friends. You don't want to have yes-men. You can't get comfortable, is what you're saying. I can't get comfortable. I listen to a book a week. What was the number one book that changed your life? Obviously, the Bible. Second to the Bible, Purpose Driven Life. In the first words of the book, it starts with, it's not about you. Are you married? I am married. How long have you been married? 23 years. How long have you been faithful? 23 years. I love the question. I don't know if I would have answered if I wasn't faithful. How do you feel about AI? Oh man, very exciting. I challenge my team every day. If you're not using AI, you aren't the right person. Have you heard about Plaud AI? Yes. Is this right here? Okay. This records all of my conversations, all my meetings, and it tells you everything that you need to know. Phenomenal. That's a great use case of AI. That's something I could put on all of our doctors. Everybody. Every entrepreneur having a business, they need to have one. Absolutely. How old are you now? I am 50. If me and you died tomorrow and you had one more message to leave with the younger generation, what would that be? Let's make sure you're prepared for the afterlife. So a relationship with Jesus Christ, nothing else matters in comparison. How did you know God was real? I grew up in South Africa, spent some time living in a car. To think that I did this by myself would be a huge mistake. I owe everything I have to Jesus Christ.
