It's still a new lifestyle for myself. Even I went through, so I actually became a statistic just like my mom. Um, so coming from, you know, a single mom being, you know, growing up in poverty and, you know, watching the abuse as a child, I ended up leaving a marriage at the age of 28. So I was so young, I was already a divorcee. I left an abusive relationship myself.

And that's when I was just like, you know what? Fuck it. I have nothing to lose. I'm going to finally do what drives me. I'm going to finally take the steps.

A hundred percent. And when you're building from the ground up, I actually think, you know, we're at such an advantage than those who, you know, got it from dad or from grandpa or from wherever. We actually get to build those systems and processes. So if we lose it all, we can rinse and repeat over somewhere else, the next niche, the next, you know, thing that pops up.

That's what I was saying is, you know, when you're like, oh, my God, this company's failing. I'm closing the doors. I've just lost so much money. I've never lost a million, but I did lose $150,000 over the last summer. And in the moment, I was just like, oh, my God. But then I realized that me putting all my energy over here was taking away something that was a much bigger revenue driver.
