Yeah, happy to.
I'll give the quick origin story here.
I started my first business when I was 14 years old.
It was the shitty family situation.
I had to make some money to help out my mom and sister at the time.
So I started going door to door in my neighborhood, selling window cleaning services of all things, because at 14 years old, where else are you going to get a job and make money?
Uh, ended up actually being quite decent at it, brought, you know, my friends along and they brought theirs.
And before we knew it, you know, we had this team of 50, 60, really, really hardworking, dedicated, uh, like-minded individuals at a young age.
And we were all selling door to door and we started, you know, building this relatively large business.
We're doing about 10,000 homes a summer at the time.
Oh, this is Toronto.
Yeah.
And so we built this business throughout high school, very early days of university, eventually sold that business.
And then I started heading up sales for a high rise window.
That would have been around 21, I believe.
A relatively small amount, but also just undisclosed.
And we'll keep that private for now.
You know, we were doing the same thing for seven years and felt that we learned everything that we, you know, we wanted to at the time.
The initial motivation behind it was certainly monetary simply for the fact that I wanted to help my family out.
Once that, you know, was addressed and especially at that stage in my life, high school, university, your needs are not, you know, what they are when you're later in your life.
