Hey there, freedom fighters. My name is Andrew Warner. I’m the founder of Mixergy, where I interview entrepreneurs about how they built their businesses. Joining me today is someone I’m so excited to have on, because, you know, there there are few ways to become billionaires today. One is you raise some money from venture capitalists. Maybe you some 10% of the business, and if the overall valuation is a billion dollars, for a moment, you can consider yourself maybe a billionaire in some way or another. Way to do it is to do what today’s guest has done. John Catsy. Matidus. I practiced so much, John, before, I that’s not bad. Have you considered shortening it to Cats? You’re a New Yorker like me.
John Catsimatidis [00:00:35]:
Well, you know, when I ran for mayor, I called it Cats. Cats, cats. C-A-T-S. In high school, they used to call me Catsy. We had a few good laughs, and that’s what life is all...
