And I imagine within this, you're pitched by many founders, or I'm sure a lot of people want to talk to you about investing.

I know everyone I know that's looking for money is always talking to hundreds of investors.

And I can imagine being on the investor side, it can get quite overwhelming.

But what would you say is a successful pitch?

So if somebody comes to you or if there's maybe one that stands out where you were like, wow, like that really got me compared to these other, you know, 50 that I've heard that I probably will pass on.

Do you find when you give feedback to these founders, because I know you're helping them raise the money, right?

And if you give them feedback,

are they open to it or are they like, hey, I'm the founder, I know everything?

It's always good to have you need that trusted partner, that trusted advisor.

I remember a moment in my business where I had this like a deal was handed to me and it was going to be like life changing, business changing.

And I messed it up and I lost the deal.

And it really was my own fault.

And it was, you know, insecurities.

It was early on.

And I it was just so.

It felt so overwhelming to me, like, OK, I don't know if I can handle this or what if I mess up?

And and I look back like, wow, you know, I learned a lot, even though I missed out on, you know, a substantial amount of money.

I really learned a lot.

Did you ever have any of these aha moments for you where it didn't go as smooth as you wanted, but it was one of those hard lessons that you needed to learn?

You have to build that superhero.
