Um, and just now got back, uh, actually a few days ago and, uh, starting to turn the ads back on and prepare to scale.

Yeah, so the Spyro pendant appears to be the first of its kind, and we've already seen early traction.

My concern is that if this truly becomes a new category in jewelry mainstream, like I really truly believe it will, larger companies with more resources and speed can come in, especially given its hardware.

So should I raise outside capital now and expand the product line and build the brand around it, or just continue bootstrapping and don't listen to that little voice that's like,

I think it kind of just scratches that itch, your inner child.

And that sounds silly, but that's kind of how it started is just the curiosity and the wonder behind this object, which you can assign meaning.

And I think...

It also invites curiosity.

So a lot of people, they tell us they get so many compliments and I see it myself wearing it.

It just kind of stands out.

So people are like, what is that?

How does that light up?

Is that a crystal?

And it just like creates a moment by just wearing it too.

And then the capital question, have you started to talk to investors yet?

I haven't, one just kind of like saw our story one day, like in the midst of December and I just jumped the gun and like sent him some and he apparently loved it, but I didn't want to seem desperate and like keep following up.

I don't know when the right time is and that's what brought me here.

I love that.

Thank you.

And maybe I'll take up Eric's advice and take these meetings when I have the bandwidth just for practice and maybe something will happen.
