I think we're definitely I'm going to we're going to bring you back and talk more about Hidden Wombat. I want to dig into that. But with this, I think it was such a great intro hearing about Watershed and what you guys are doing, your thoughts on biodesign. So, all right, let me let me run through my summary really fast.

And then if I say something that you think needs an addendum, please just interrupt me and we'll go from there. Okay. Alright, so number one, solve problems you can't buy your way out of. I like that a lot. It means if you would pay to solve that problem, but you can't, there's an opportunity there.

Surgical simulator for you for carotid endarterectomy was that first kind of light bulb moment that you couldn't buy it. Next, have a bias to action. I think I'm putting this one out here because that's what I see what you did. You called the CEO and you're like, hey, you need a surgical simulator. Not everybody would do that.

And I think a lot of successful entrepreneurs, they have a bias to action. We learned that at Biodesign, right? Josh Macauer would always talk about that. Just pick up the phone and do it. Don't wait. And you contacted the CEO and you got the ball rolling. He asked you if you could build it and you said, sure, yep, totally.

And you weren't sure you could do that, but you leaned into it, so to speak. And I think taking that risk has made a big difference. Walk the plank. This is just me putting words in. You went into debt 60K, then broke even in six months. I'm not advocating for people to do anything like that. What I am saying that taking risk gives you buy-in that will help see you through when times get tough.

So, you know, we both took a year off of clinical medicine to do biodesign. That's a big risk. Not a lot of people would do that. But what it did was show me that, and probably you, that you can take risks and you'll be okay. And you might find something at the end of that rainbow that you like even more than what you're doing at that time.

So kind of put yourself in some calculated risky situations because sometimes it can be a great motivator. So what biodesign will teach you? A couple of things you said. If you have an unmet market where they can't buy your way out, right? That's the number one thing you said. You'll be successful if you solve it. And then next, inventing is the easy part.
