Hi Eric! I hope you're having a good night. I have a real question, i swear. What are some business ventures you wish you'd gotten involved with or wish you were involved in? I know you have a lot of ventures/holdings.

I am not having a good night, Abigale, but thank you for wishing it better than it is.

Your question is not an easy one. Usually when there is something I wish to invest in, I do so. Little holds me back if I believe something is worth my money and my interest (though I'd NEVER invest in a casino in Bon Temps, even though I believe casinos to be sound investments).

I think I would have invested more in technology. While I loathe it and while it can take a while to truly catch on, advancements have proven to be a sound investment that I often don't jump at, simply because the concepts are difficult for me to envision or understand (especially when they're advancements for humans solely... appliances, etc.). There were opportunities that came my way that I thought would be certain failures simply because it seemed outlandish or unnecessary to me. If I could go back, I would change that.

I also think I would invest in more projects of passion when they came my way. When someone is truly passionate about their vision, the effort they put into it always trumps the average startup.

Ask a Viking vampire what inquiring minds wish to know
