That's right.

I didn't do it on my own, but I certainly didn't do it with a trust fund.

My parents are extremely supportive in just always being there for me.

I talk to my dad basically every week on the phone.

We talk for a couple hours, and he's always there.

He's always just believed that I have what's necessary to to fix large problems.

I'm not sure where he got that idea, but he has always believed that.

And so I'm extremely grateful to him.

And then I've been helped by many other people.

Right.

You know, our investors at Valor couldn't do without them.

My team members of Valor couldn't do without them.

You know, previous companies that have started employees there.

I'm standing on many, many shoulders at this point, not so much financially, but from other people.

But yeah, I grew up very poor.

We grew up on food stamps most of growing up in various rough places around the country.

And it was really just that my parents were, my dad was doing his best to provide for his family with the hand he had been dealt and was extremely focused on us, on his kids.

I like to say that my dad will prove to have been one of the greatest investors in history.

Wow.

Not because he invested money into a stock, but because he invested in his children.
