Ralph Zuranski: That is amazing. Well, how important is it to believe that your financial dreams will eventually become reality?
Dave Kekich: Most of what I want to accomplish depends on wealth generation, and huge wealth generation. I know I am not going to be single-handedly solving aging; I am going to make an impact on it though, and I know I don't need to do all the research, but I do know what needs to be underwritten now that isn't being funded.
And that is going to take an enormous amount of money over time, and I believe that will happen, so that is very important to me.
Ralph Zuranski: Well, why is it valuable to know exactly how much money you want to have in your bank account, by when?
Dave Kekich: Getting back to focusing on raising money, my focus is on a venture fund. We have a foundation, and we have a venture fund, and we have a roadmap, a scientific roadmap on aging, and we have costs involved.
And in order to follow all that roadmap and reach our goal, we have to know how much money we have to raise by a certain period in time, and how much after that to raise in a certain period of time. Just looking at these goals and writing them automatically makes you visualize them, and you have got to make them explicit.
But when you visualize explicit goals, it really helps you to bring them to reality, at least much more surely and much faster.
