And Senron wants to go build for everyone eventually.

Yeah, so we are incredibly lucky to have Ken.

And he is a breath of fresh air of what we need to go build over the next few years.

But Ken built the operating system that helped scale SpaceX from hundreds of people to thousands of people and did the same thing at Broadcom in the 80s.

And so he's just like the legend of how do software systems enable scale and enable this new type of efficiency for manufacturing companies too.

It was really important because like we were hitting a wall on so many of our different operations of like we need to give everything has to be in our digital system for buying parts to tracking inventory to even working with a customer that it wasn't actually the building the software is a hard part is like knowing what to build and like what direction we need to go build that product line into.

So Ken is just

saw the vision instantly of like, this is a company that will be 10X its throughput based off an operating system, not just one to two X. Kind of how it happened was one of our recruiters reached out to Ken and was like, there's this wire harness company.

Would you be interested in just being an advisor?

And I met Ken on like a Tuesday.

We had a lunch in Newport Beach that weekend and then signed the offer.

And then next week he was hired and it was a really quick process.

But we were very gung ho or maybe that's not the right word.

We were

very confident in his abilities from not only just being a legend in the space but also like he saw the vision day one which is like you see all these people working around us and you can just see how efficient they are and how they're always having hands-on harness is what we like to call it where they're being incredibly efficient with their time based off of the operating system that like you won't necessarily see in the physical world but it has this huge effect on the physical world too and um i kind of always look at go back to like the culinary examples of like

Making pancakes is really easy, but the hard part is finding the recipe and the ingredients and the setup of the pan.

But flipping the actual pancakes is not that bad.

It's just everything that's around it's the hard part.

And that's kind of what harnessing is.

It's still a very difficult process, per se, and complex.
