Like I've always just intuitively understood marketing and client acquisition and just, I got that.

I got sales just from day one.

Yeah.

It's really, yeah.

And I was really good at graphic design and website stuff too.

Like I wouldn't just design the website, I would help them design it

from the angle of like, how do you turn more of these website visitors into customers?

And I would help them with the traffic.

And so I've always just instinctually understood the art of making money and it set me apart.

from other graphic designers who are very concerned with the way a logo looks and the way it's styled.

And that's fun.

I love all, I can talk fonts all day long, but, um, it's more than that.

People don't want a website to look pretty.

They want a website cause I think it's going to help them get more clients.

So I just got that intuitively.

I've had mentors throughout the entire journey, but it's more to help teach me how to grow what I was already doing, if that makes sense.

The business stuff I learned, I think, just through osmosis with my dad.

I would be working, and he would be on a sales call, and I would just be quietly helping him in the other side of the room and stuff.

So I think I really just soaked into my pores.

Yeah, which is another perk of homeschooling.
