It's interesting as an entrepreneur, I think one of the most important things that you can possess is self-awareness and identifying your strengths and weaknesses. And so the same that I said early on is, you know, my biggest flaw as a tech entrepreneur is I don't write code.

And that's what I got in Jason. And Jason has done an incredible job in building out this product and helping us get to where we are and then and then building a nice roadmap for the future. When you start to grow, it really, for me, it comes down to continually looking at areas across the company. So that self-awareness evolves from just looking at yourself.

And then it starts to go into looking at the whole company. So I sat back and I said, all right, well, early on, I mean, I was, Jason was, Jason was still working a full-time job early on and he was doing nights and weekends and launched our first customers.

And so I was the first full-time guy. So for the first, you know, roughly year or so, it was just me. When we launched the first couple of customers, it was me and Jason doing the launches and, uh, we were taking support calls and, uh, and we were really figuring out, unfortunately they weren't real big customers and we could kind of. navigate those waters.

But when we looked at it, like, all right, what are the things we're really good at? What are the things we need to get off our plate? And so the first, the first hire that we made was a customer support person. And she's been with us since then. She's the longest tenured outside of me. She's the longest tenured full-time employee.
