My dad gave me half a million dollars and I started a protein bar company and this is where I'm at. You're like, oh, if they've, you know, put the work in. And by the way, that could be the case that that could have given half a million and they put blood, sweat and tears and turned it into two million. Great. I'm all ears.

I want to hear the founder's story away from the product. I want to hear the founder's story of what they've done with the product and where it's at now. And then I want to try the product and then hear their vision for it ahead.

I mean, the first thing I'll probably say is why are you picking me? Because there's more bankable actors right now. Yeah, I mean, once again, I'd be like... I'd try and dissect it and be like, what are we making? Why are we making it? What's the end goal? You know, it really is. It's you know, it's it's it's sadly it's referred to as the movie business.
