Yeah, it would.

I do. I do. I feel like I wasted a lot of time if I look at it through that lens. On the one hand, I do get quite philosophical and I think everything happens exactly as it should. And it's okay that the business has grown slowly and steadily. And I read once somewhere that there's a Chinese proverb that says, the slowest growing vegetable has the most nutrients.

And so sometimes if I feel like, oh, I've wasted time or it's taken too long, I kind of go back to that idea that like, we're always on the right timeline. Even if we see, you know, friends or competitors do something more quickly, it's like, it's not our timeline and our timeline is what it is. But sometimes I look back and I think like, oh my God, like, why did I do that?

Well, this was when it was like, you know, right. Exactly. Oh, I need, you know, I need to build it yourself. Right.

And it's hard when it's you as well. Like, because, you know, again, like the weirdest thing about me, I think is that I'm actually an introvert. I don't like being in front of people. I don't like being in front of a camera. I don't, I hate public speaking. So I think that's also hard for me because my first career was all about that. And my second career is about that to a certain degree as well.
