Like, my dad was, like, you know, ran his own business.

Like, you know, you kind of have to go out there and put the work in or you're not going to get paid.

So early on, he's like, listen, if you want to control your destiny and, you know, if you want to make money and, you know, like, be able to actually, like,

you know, like, do what you really want in life.

You need to, like, run your own business.

And that was, like, beat into our heads, like, growing up.

Like, you know, at some point, you need to, you know, you need to probably get out of here, get out of farming.

It's not doing well.

And you need to start something on your own.

And so just, like,

kind of just like by default, I was like, okay, this is what I'm going to go do since I was a kid.

Yeah.

Parents are great.

Yeah.

They're like, what the hell's going on here?

What are you doing?

But I've been doing pretty crazy stuff for a while now.

So I think it's like, it's gotten to a point where it's like, you know, even at Archer, we're building like 6,000 pound electric aircraft and before that doing, you know, internet startup stuff.

But it's kind of been, you know, working on crazier stuff now for a little over a decade now.

Were you building stuff as a kid too?
