And I spent the last seven years fighting for this with my co-founders to manifest this company, tens of millions of dollars, many lonely times when nobody believed in it. And the Department of Defense budget, there was like a tiny fraction for small drones. And then Ukraine happens. Right. And we and we and then, of course, the entire battlefield is changed.

And then Elon Musk is suddenly treating about drone wars and everything. This is incredible. On September 11th, 2024, a couple months ago, my company was awarded the U.S. Army Program of Record for small drones, medium range reconnaissance. And so in that journey is everything we've just been talking about.

Because I stood under the Trade Center, it gave me the same feeling like, oh my God, this is going to be the source of terrorist attacks in the future. And the United States must build up a drone ecosystem and get there first before our enemies do. I'm going to do something about it, which is probably the grandiose part, but like, I'm going to do it. And then, okay, phase one.

I see an opportunity arriving before the tipping point of evidence. This is not just an opportunity. It's a necessity, right? I act on it. I'm alone. There's no money. Investors won't put money in. You know, the company almost goes under. I have to save it, right? There's no programs at the U.S. Department of Defense.

I've got to act on it, and I have to spend the time alone and endure the skepticism and the ridicule with my fellow co-founders. And then on the other side, we win the program of record. And then it becomes obvious. And so what I love about that is when people see it now, like, well, of course you're in drones. What do you mean, of course I'm in? Like, do you know what it took to build this thing?

And so I love that because it's the most important work I've ever done in my life. I mean, maybe competes with this book because the book is helping people reach their potential. But building this company is is the most important thing I ever worked on for the home team. You know, I'm patriot like you never served in the military, but this is my chance to do something. And and I love it.

I love it because it was bold and courageous. And now we've created an exquisite product that is serving the elite warfighters in this country. That's what I'm working on.
