As you continue to build your network, how do you nurture these relationships that you've created?
I have my investor club. And I always tell people, we're a bunch of accredited investors and higher paid professionals. I've kind of curated a group through my investors where if your invest fits me, you get access to my network, and we all know your network is your network. 
What advice would you offer that business professional who's looking to grow their network?
I would say filter. Your net worth is a big indicator of where you are. I do know if somebody doesn't have a net worth of at least $50,000 they need to go figure out how to make money for themselves. So I would say for people like other business professionals trying to look for other business professionals higher net worth, but then again, a lot of business professionals, they're stuck in that paradigm of going to work and, you know, for 40-50 years.
How would one really figure out who are the ideal individuals to associate yourself with and where can you find them? Where would you recommend someone find those individuals?
You've got to build relationships to kind of figure that out. You just have to build relationship with a few people like quality over quantity, and kind of stay close to their network. And they're staying close to you too. And hopefully, you can build a big enough web to kind of filter in the right people.
