I'm going to end up on one.

So my kids had had lice and I just wanted to solve that problem.

And so I approached the owner of the Texas Lice Squad.

It was a small little business here in Austin.

And I said, I want to buy you.

I want to buy you.

And so about six months after we entered in those conversations, we rebranded to the Lice Place and I became her first franchisee.

I was her customer.

So she had opened in Houston 10 years ago, I guess now 12 years ago.

And she had a small satellite office in Austin.

My kids got lice.

Lice is horrific, terrible.

And I just wanted it to be over with, throw a little money at the problem and be done.

And it was a great experience.

And I was her customer.

Well, at the time, I had an outside sales role.

So I was an outside sales person and responsible for my own number.

So as long as I met my number and exceeded my number, I could do really whatever I wanted.

And so I bought the last place and I ran that and grew that made that very profitable.

At the same time, I worked at Dell.
