Exactly.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's a good question.

Managing, developing and like working with a network is always something that I felt is important.

But I think that, you know, you can't I can't kind of overemphasize that then kind of tending to your network, business, personal, all that is really worthwhile.

And that's something that I strive to do today.

it's everything from, listen, I think that, uh, it's, it's being curious about what other people are doing.

It's, it's being, uh, it's being sort of articulate and, and, uh, and, and having things to offer others too.

So it's not just one way, of course it's, it's being, you know, sort of, um, uh, and curious are, are two things that I kind of, uh, aspire to be.

And, uh,

And so, you know, what I like most about what I do is that I look at so many different things all the time.

And I've looked at, I've traveled around the world and I've seen a lot of really unique things.

And I've looked at, you know, early stage, later stage, you know, I have, and I've gotten the benefit, I'll call it, of being able to

to sort of see things, the good, the bad, and the ugly.

I would say that, you know, one thing in my career, I did have to go in at one point early on when I was in my 20s and go and work at an operating company that fell on hard times and that we had made an investment in.

And it was something that I didn't particularly like doing, but in retrospect, it was a great experience because, you know, now when I'm

talking with a sales staff, VP of sales at a company or understanding financial projections that a CFO is talking about or just anticipating what the cost for maybe rolling over a debt or process of rolling over debt or whatnot for a company might be.

All these things I had to go through myself and it's really, really helpful from a diligence standpoint to have lived in those shoes before and to have

managed a balance sheet for a business and to have made payroll and to handle legal relationships and sales relationships and dealt with large multinational companies.
