In their words
What was actually said
The thing I hacked into and it's against my nature, I am the most paranoid risk taker ever made. This doesn't come effortlessly to me but I do think the thing I hacked into is I put myself in situations where I don't have the answers and I reverse engineer the outcome by figuring it out. It's how I got on the shark tank when I had no business being there as a shark.
And I just did shark tank to buy, which was totally trippy. But we can get into that. But if I had been on many years, I don't think I would do it.
