Yeah.
So, I mean, there's so many lessons that you learn from different stages, right?
Um, you know, in the beginning, you know, when you're just trying to, you know, make any kind of money from, you know, like zero to a hundred clients, uh, you have to just be on top of everything.
Right.
Um,
That we've come to learn was wartime.
Like that was the wartime CEO in me where it's like, you know, you're screaming to get stuff done.
Like you're breaking everything like systems don't matter at that point.
Just getting a result matters.
And then, you know, you evolve into, you know, having more people and then you have to have systems and training systems.
You know, I think one of the biggest realizations, you know, in the last year that I've had is whoever starts with you is typically not going to finish with you.
And that's something that most people don't talk about and they don't tell you.
So you're not emotionally prepared for that when it happens.
So if you have people that you're really close with that have started this company and been with you for a while, life changes and sometimes they leave.
It's not even just the cap table, right?
It's just, it's also employees.
Had a gentleman who was with us from very, very early on and he was with us for over three years
And, you know, had a life change where, you know, got a girlfriend.
She was a while a ways away.
He wanted to work remote.
