And I basically made the decision, you know, long story short, I ended up chasing Archer at the time.
I went and built Archer.
And at the time I only had like, you know, this was a big endeavor for me, like going from software, like, you know, deep tech hardware.

He's like, I have kids and you have kids.
Like, you have a fiduciary duty to go build this.
