I needed, you know, and he shortchanged me by, I think I asked him for 20 or like $20,000. That's how much we need. And yes, that's a lot of money to start a business though. It's a little different. To start a business. To start a business.

What I was trying to do was, Matt, I started with my ex-husband. We were just dating at the time, and I really wanted to be 50-50 with him. I was putting in more of the sweat equity, let's be real. But financially, I wanted to be 50-50 so that we weren't married at the time. I wanted some security, and I knew I couldn't financially afford to bridge that gap.

So I essentially was asking my dad for a loan. I asked for $20,000. When I had, when I asked for it, I had to do a full presentation. Like I was like going to the sharks and at the end, he still short changed me five grand. He said, you got to make, got to make the other five grand on your own. I think you can do it.
