Lance Preeb and myself, who both basically took a line of credit out on our homes, that was the same.
I think it was 60 or 70 grand.
which is terrifying because it was my first house.
So I just kind of got to a place from like, okay, this might actually work.
We might actually be able to pay this mortgage every month.
And all of a sudden, thankfully, there was some equity in it because the market had gone up.
But I knew that if Club Penguin failed, there was a chance we'd be back in an apartment for a little while.
So it was a little dicey.
But it also, again, allowed us to be really focused on who we were there to serve.
We were there to serve our team and our team was there to serve our customers.
And we were there to take care of kids.
And thankfully, we had a great financial outcome.
But I think we had a great financial outcome because we kept our eye on the ball.
Yeah, we literally had a statement that was even written on the wall at one point in our offices that just said, if it doesn't matter to an eight-year-old, it doesn't matter.
And that was really critical to us.
And in fact, even for me, there was speaking opportunities, there was press interviews, media interviews.
I mean, I think we turned down like Forbes and Bloomberg about a dozen times in there.
And the reason being is that if we couldn't directly pinpoint to this is gonna help us get our message out to parents or it's something that the kids would really value us being a part of,
then we just didn't have time for it.
And it really dictated everything.
