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.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And I think one of the best things about like people say, what do you really burn the boats for in your life? If you had to summarize, I burned the boats for autonomy, because when you grow up with poor with dysfunction, you have no power to save your family members to help them. You have no power to dictate your life. And I hated it. I'll never go back.

And so when you get a little bit older, what are you going to do with your autonomy? I now have autonomy, right? Some wealth and and reputation. I could spend it. I would not. I want to be around military members. Nothing brings me more joy and seems objectively incredibly honorable than the U.S. military. And so now I get to use my autonomy to put myself in situations like that.

I was just in Poland overseas. I've been all over the U.S. on different bases. I finally feel like I know where I want to spend most of my time on. And that's the benefit of all this hard work that is behind me. Matt, can you talk?

I can talk about what we did. I mean, this gives you context to how much work goes into this. Like we, we, we had done a million dollars of revenue last year in 2023 after six years of work, whatever the year. Right. But then in the seventh year, we'll probably do $50 million of revenue this year.

And we'll eventually end up doing half a billion dollars of revenue in another, you know, whatever, seven years. Because the thing about this work, it's called the Valley of Death for those who don't know how hard it is to build a defense tech company.

And the reason it's called the Valley of Death, this is a long delta between when you first make a prototype and you have all these early signals like, oh, this is necessary. Government is great at like encouraging you. But the problem is a program of record, which is the thing that sustains you.
