01 / preference
“Ben and David love their index funds. You know, we love Vanguard here. If you had bought the S&P 500 with that same $1,000, instead of $17 million today, you would have $170,000.”
02 / evaluation
“Yes, home improvement is just a massive category, way, way bigger than I realized.”
03 / evaluation
“I built this whole door. I got the blank door from Home Depot. I had to cut it down to size to fit a nonstandard size door opening in my studio.”
04 / commitment
“Today we will tell the story of how it happened. It is an unlikely story of two guys who got unceremoniously fired from their old jobs with little savings and no retirement funds, who then had a revolutionary idea to build a home improvement store in giant warehouses, five times more square footage than any other hardware store at the time, which seemed risky at best, unthinkable maybe.”
