Memorable Quotes
"We are not talking about investment from us. We have a baseline of guarantee and consistency, a spot of certainty with cash flow privately used with no taxes."
"There are guarantees inside the contracts that we're utilizing for this cash flow structure, there are things that we can promise in the future to these people."
"You cannot make a decision of uncertainty until you have a guarantee and certainty place to start from."
"Cash flow does not care how old you are. Insurance does. Cash flow does not care if you're healthy. But insurance does."
