Well, I started off, Charles, I was really someone that was trying to figure out what I wanted to do in business. And, you know, fortune would have it that while I was wrapping up my bachelor's degree in business operations and procurement, I actually got hired by Toyota.

So he was going through this whole process.

It taught me about operations. And, you know, to fast forward after getting that experience and really becoming, you know, very profound and proficient, I should say, in the lean management discipline.
