You didn't do that.

You didn't walk up straight away.

Oh, yeah.

I said, I'm sorry.

Excuse me, Craig.

Actually, I have to drop out of school.

I mean, God bless Craig, because I went back and took that same CNC machining class again later to get my degree in 2018.

Well, I think it's funny because like what you described, I think paints a picture of very little risk, right?

I was just out of school.

I had the opportunity to live in my dad's house and work out of my dad's house.

I had gone to a really great university, so I wasn't worried about being able to get a job later if it didn't work out.

I mean, I think it was almost the perfect circumstance to take a huge risk because the downside was minimal at best.

I think one of the challenges...

I think sometimes we face as entrepreneurs, and certainly as folks get later into their lives and have responsibility with family, children, et cetera, then it gets much harder to take a risk.

But I think for me, it seemed obvious to work on something I was passionate about.

And I think for me, it was much more about the responsibility, frankly, that we had to our investors.

I mean, they'd invested $485,000, which to us was like infinity.

We were like, we will never need to raise money again.

I mean, this is, you know, we were able to hire two of our friends.

You know, it was extraordinary for us.
