Yeah. So, I mean, I grew up, my parents weren't necessarily entrepreneurs. They were like parents that did allow me to have, I think, a lot of freedom relative to my friends. Like I never had a curfew. I never had those type of kind of like rule sets. It was very like, you know, independence driven. So I think that was helpful.

I think actually where the entrepreneurship really came was, you know, I grew up through two very different environments my whole life. I grew up in Southern Indiana. and Sao Paulo, Brazil, where I'm from originally. My family's from Brazil. And they're very different places.

And I think the areas that I really started to really notice that difference as I was in my early teen years or going into sixth, seventh, eighth grade, was that things in Brazil were actually way more expensive, things that I cared about at least, like an Xbox or a car or whatever, because of this insane import tax.

And every time I'd go back to Brazil, my family would be like, oh, can you bring all of these electronics? Sure. I'm like, why? And so you realize that and you're like, wow, these are two places that as a kid you realize are, to me, they're different, but they're also the same. It's just people that I'm dealing with. But then I thought, wow, I could sell this stuff here, make a profit, vice versa.
