We'll use my credit. My credit gets jacked up. I know that Megan's not going to leave me and leave me screwed. Instead, it's like, next time we're going to use yours. We're going to rotate it back and forth. We're going to use this to our advantage. Because honestly, you're more powerful as a team than you are as an individual. But... People don't see it that way usually.

And I think it took like the pressure cooker and then like the shared experience of our twenties, like doing this to like make all that happen. Like that doesn't happen overnight. It doesn't happen like normally. Also to your point could like completely destroy your relationship. But Hey, I mean, it works really well for us.

Yeah. Yes. The bus kind of came into the picture because of the way we ran the business. Yeah. The first three years we ran Novick, we built a dessert shop chain, basically. So we built a franchise system, opened a bunch of shops. So from October 2017, when the first shop opened, so October 2019, we opened nine stores.

which is the first time we had to like switch up what the business did. And prior to that, you know, like I had actually gotten really burnt out. I hated going to those shops. I hated managing all the managers. I had a manager call me from jail that was managing our Cincinnati store and be like, yeah, man, my wife called the cops on me. I have to spend the next two days in jail. And I'm just like,

So these situations, right, that makes – that fucks up your life. You're like, I don't want to do this anymore. I don't want to do this thing. So then March comes along. Retail is hard. Yeah.
