afraid to apply to jobs and because they don't know how to handle if an employer reaches out or calls them for an initial phone interview. And so if we can just help those individuals feel that much more prepared and confident, that's the biggest thing. So really making sure that when you're on swab, you're finding those opportunities, but you're actually landing those opportunities as well.

Yeah, so that was an awesome experience. So in 2018, we were actually named the first ever Canadian company to win Richard Branson's Pitch to Rich contest. In the early days of Swab, Stephanie and I used to do a lot of pitch competitions and get involved in as many contests or competitions that we could.

Because for us, we just thought it could be an opportunity to win money and really put that back into the business and help us. And so that was something that I had come across. There was an application process for it. I thought, hey, what do we have to lose? Why not? So I submitted the application and I'm not sure, maybe a month or so went by, found out that we were a finalist.

We had to do a one minute video pitch to Richard Branson that he would personally view and found out a couple of days later that we had won. And honestly, like even talking about it now, When I think about that, it was so surreal getting that phone call saying that we had won.

And honestly, it was so humbling to know that an idea that we had, the risk that we took to start this idea was validated by somebody like Richard Branson. So it was truly humbling for me and for Stephanie as well. It was such an awesome experience. We actually got flown out to Calgary and got to spend some time with Richard. We went to an event with him and it was awesome.

It's a good question. And that's one thing where I'm grateful we have a CTO with the type of knowledge that he has and the team that we have in terms of our tech support or our technical side. I think with anything, there's always hiccups or hurdles along the way. And in this case, it's no different. Things are always crashing. Things always go wrong.
