[contingencies]

Honestly? Now. Invested heavily in a venture in China for 4 years then COVID hit and being locked out of the country for a year while paying rent on two properties (one major and industrial) and having my team denied return visas due to altered government regulations while being blackmailed by an equipment supplier (court case pending) and then having to tear my family including young kid out of a comfortable western lifestyle to return to factoryland via 2 weeks quarantine in a hotel room we couldn't choose, then six months of fighting to hire a new team due to an impossible HR market. Finally I have found some good people to work with and things are returning to normal, but the kicker is I have world leading contactless food preparation and retail technology which is nominally in demand but I can't get ears to any decent investors presumably because we are a pre-market cross-border venture active in China, which nobody likes under the current political climate, despite securing 1:1 foreign government investment matching to re-shore and world class advisors. Need a decent forward break soon! This is leadership for family and company simultaneously. Could write a book or three already and only 50% in according to Bezos' "most overnight successes" formula (10 years).
