I think Brazil or something like that.
I was like, if you want it, go for it.
Um, and when we were going through that process, like why should I not have some of the things that I've worked so hard for so I could have, but then it makes my kids less hungry because they think it's normal.
It really does.
So then they don't have the hunger that I had because when I was growing up, I had no choice but to figure it out and figure out how to make money because no one was going to give it to it, give it to me.
And I'm not saying I struggled.
I did not struggle.
Yes, I grew up in low-income housing and we used to get free lunch from schools and stuff.
I forgot what the benefits were called.
I appreciate the government for giving free food to my sister and I. And then we also had ā I had college grants because of low income from parents.
So I really do appreciate the state and the government for helping me out.
But where I was getting with this is I had that hunger and drive.
I didn't have it ā
really tough because eventually my parents saved enough and they were able to give us a leg up because I was able to borrow some of that money for your company.
Yeah.
But I still had enough hunger and I don't think my kids will have the drive that I did because they don't really have a good sense of reality.
So I'm just trying to teach them a win for me would be if my kids give back and try to help others.
I would be very happy with that.
No, I just would have given them zero.
And then give it to them as they got older.
