I don't know what PACE plans are, but my point is that as uncomfortable as it is to the masses, every success story has a leader that was willing to bet on themselves and their company.

Is it risky? Sure, but this entire project is risky. This entire industry is risky.

What's more risky is hedging, hesitation and fear
