I always wanted to run my own business. So there I was, 29 years old. Made a little pitch book, and I knocked on the doors of a number of different private equity houses Asking do you want to help me buy out Morgan Stanley's NPL platform? What were they selling it for? I can't disclose that. But for a 29-year-old, it was a big, big sum and a big ticket. It was millions, and I didn't have access to that kind of capital. But for private equity players, it was just not significant enough. The bigger, the better often for some of those firms. So I wasn't successful in that. But that did lead to my next role at Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. They called me up a few months later, saying We can't help you buy the platform, but how about you set up a platform from scratch?
