was because a, I didn't have any upside in that business that I was going to grow for them.
And B, I was de-risked because the franchise brokers that I'm close with would go with me to any brand because they've known me before I had kids.
Like we've known each other for years.
And so if and when we ever do Rolling Studs version two, but a different industry, I can go to those same.
I mean, these are hundreds of brokers across the industry and they'll say, Aaron, I trust you.
Let's let's rock.
And we can get 100, 200 units on the road and open relatively quickly, comparatively to someone who didn't have any experience in franchising or franchising.
Basically, yeah.
So I'll address kind of both things that you said.
So franchising, whether you're a franchisor or a franchisee, meaning I'm a franchisor and the people that buy into the franchise system are franchisees.
So whether you go and franchise a business or become a franchisee of a business, it's one of the best ways to create wealth.
I think that is underserved and unknown by most people because you could take 200 grand and put it in the S&P 500 and it will grow annually at a certain percentage.
But if you put 200 grand into a business that you own and operate every day,
you could have a 20 to a hundred X return on that over a period of time growing a company.
And where most business owners don't have, most people who start businesses, they don't have some great idea.
Like there's like, you don't need to have like be Mark Zuckerberg or Elon Musk.
Like that's like the 0.0000001%.
Like you just need to do something ordinary, but do it exceptionally well.
And so that's essentially what we've done.
Like power washing is not rocket science.
