When I tell you at the beginning, we just did it basically from a shoestring and like a dime.

And it is not fun doing taxes and accounting and bookings and contracts.

Learning all of that was tricky.

And it's still a fight to finance.

But back then it was, yeah, we made partnerships with the YMCA for free and was like, we'll teach your classes if you give us space to like work with these kids.

And we were doing that for almost 10 years.

I dance with a company in New York and it's a full-time job, full, full, full time.

We are on the road about 80% of the year, like touring and performing.

We do six days a week, eight hours a day.

And so I'll have, I'm going to do air quotes Sunday off.

And then in the evening, I am working from, for about five hours on my admin side of my personal company.

So yeah.

I try to find my moments of breathing, but I look forward to doing it.

And even on the admin side, no, it's not fun work, but this is my baby.

You know, so it's like you really do have a lot of care for it and you find the energy to keep going.
