And so anyways, that's the way we've done it.

And the original founders of Rolling Suds are involved helping franchisees grow their businesses.

They still own 100 percent of their business.

They've launched a truck manufacturing business that sells into the franchisees.

So they've achieved additional upside above and beyond what they went to.

And this will be a it's been a tremendously life changing experience for them.

You know, I was fortunate that I got to watch the company I was working for make a bunch of mistakes and learn from those mistakes as an employee before ever launching my own thing.

So in those other two brands that I mentioned,

I was a very well-paid employee that kind of helped one kind of individual department grow, observed all of these other departments and how they either worked together well or didn't work together well.

And in my mind, I archetyped what a good franchise brand looks like if I'm the one making all the decisions.

And so the only really bet that I've made in terms of like going out on my own and becoming

an entrepreneur is on rolling suds and we have had, uh, a good amount of success.

You're batting pretty damn well.

You're about an honor percent from what it sounds like.

I know, um, what I, I know when to get out of the way and I know, uh, when to put people in place.

And we have a great CEO that runs the company and I sit on the board and we've just scaled rapidly.

And I think we've done it to the best of our ability, the right way.

So a franchise brand is dependent upon the franchisees that come into the brand, the people who are buying the locations, and their willingness to execute on the model.

and be team players and go out and grow their local businesses, right?

Like I don't have a business unless we have franchisees in their markets growing their locations and paying royalties.
