But I found that it was I'm better getting one on one advice from a lot of different mentors.

And I find that just reaching out to someone, getting a conversation one-on-one is more effective than having a board and people debating things back and forth.

I do have people that are advisors.

I've got a lot of fantastic people, but it's just not a formal board.

Absolutely.

I mean, I think, you know, someone that's building a business has a responsibility for all their employees and their franchise owners to make sure that, God forbid, that plane crashes, that there is a backup plan in place.

It's just not what drives me.

I've seen people build businesses, sell them off and and either go start something else successfully or unsuccessfully or, you know, go retire.
