I just write down ideas.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And so this one really...
took hold for me because I could see, OK, well, the market for robotics and drones in particular is going up.
It's clearly like there's tremendous demand for automation.
And you could actually structure.
I kept saying, OK, how can I structure an annually recurring contract that takes advantage of robotic automation?
And we pivoted through a bunch of different answers to that question.
It originally started as, OK, maybe I can do subscription crop dusting.
And we looked at all the different ways that that could work, then realized, wait a minute, trying to bang my head against two regulatory agencies would be a total nightmare.
And within the first year of our business,
we had kind of said, okay, we'll structure this more as like a solution, get our arms around it.
And we started with kind of a fully integrated disaster response package.
So right out of the gates.
Yeah.
So our first major customer was Comcast.
And we got that customer by emailing a thousand employees at Comcast.
And then finally getting in touch.
Oh, God, I don't even remember.
