0:08No.

0:08It's a non-for-profit.

0:10Rolex is a non-for-profit company.

0:12Hold that thought.

0:13We should.

0:14Okay, I'm going to keep this insane.

0:15That is crazy insane.

0:16That is crazy.

0:16I want to hear the story.

0:18Guys, I want to tell people who you are because I'm already going.

0:20This is going to be on the podcast.

0:22Okay, so we have Jamie Simonoff, just by the way, then we're going to tell you the Rolex story in two seconds.

0:28Jamie is the founder of Ring.

0:30He sold it for $1.1 billion.

0:33$1.15.

0:35I mean, just like you know, like semantics here.

0:38A little, okay.

0:39And it was bought by Amazon.

0:47Stayed for five years.

0:48Okay.

0:48I was just, I mean, I was kind of burnt and whatever, left for a little bit.

0:52And then I came back last.

0:54I've been back like a year now.

0:55Okay.

0:56Then you came back to run.
