That's awesome, Scott. Thanks so much for having me on today. I guess I would call myself a little bit of a serial entrepreneur and really started finding areas and places where there was a need. It's some of the stuff that you've spoken about on some of the webinars you've done in the past, which is finding that niche and then filling that and filling it really well.

So throughout the years, I've just kind of kept my eyes open and my ears open and looked for opportunities and places where we can fill a need. And it's really fun to me to have the opportunity to be able to see visions and then bring them to light. So I have a lot of fun doing that.

Awesome. So, well, I got into the business that I'm currently in a little bit. I like to tell people I tripped and fell over backwards into it. I actually was working in industry in the pharmaceutical biotech and medical devices industry and was an executive doing that and actually found myself at a position where my job was being outsourced

and had an option to take the job as a contractor versus staying on with a kind of a revised structure to the company. And so when I took that job as an outsourced employee, I started to realize that there was, again, this need out there to create medical conferences put on by physicians, put on by clinicians, for clinicians.

And so said, hey, you know, I guess what doesn't kill us makes us stronger. So I jumped in. I had a few friends of mine who needed some help putting together their conferences. And learned, I like to say, by drinking from the fire hose. There were a lot of things I didn't know that I didn't know. But when I survived it, I went, hey, that was a lot of fun. And I think there's something here.

I think there's something that I can grow. And that was about 20 years ago. So also during that time, I was living in California. And One of the things that I learned as a very young child was that real estate is a tangible asset. And that while we can't always understand what's going on in the markets, and you say it yourself, Scott, you can't time the market.

I didn't really feel comfortable in the stocks and bonds and that sort of investing, but my family had done a lot in real estate. So I actually did my first real estate transaction at the grand old age of 24 years old and started getting into it in California. thankfully for me, at a great time for flipping properties. And so I learned a tremendous amount about what to do, what not to do.
