And it was in the aftermath of the Great Recession.

And that house is a token when I sat at the table with my wife, holding back tears, signing papers to sell our home because I knew that I wasn't going to be able to make payroll.

And if things didn't dramatically change, we were going to be facing layoffs.

there's the little room that served as my office at the time where my wife came in one night at two o'clock in the morning and I was sitting in my chair just looking at this Excel sheet and I'm like, I don't know that I have it.

I don't know that I have what it takes to do this because in that sheet were 30 days, 90 days, 180 days, and it was a list of names.

And it was the people I'd no longer be able to keep if things did not change.

And

These people, I know them.

I know their family.

I know their kids' names.

This is not some employee number.

This was real.

Yeah, it's not monopoly money.

It is not.

And so there's that token of that house or the car that I sold because I'm like, shoot, I can do this trade show or I can do this thing, right?

And don't tell Dave.

But there's also the time where...

We were going to be just in a cashflow crisis.

And I ran my personal credit card for 20 something thousand dollars, which 20 something years ago was a lot of money.

Still a lot of money.
