I'm ready.

Yeah, so we're a two-sided on-demand sort of marketplace.

You know, on the consumer side, if you need lawn care for your home, rather than having to call around and play phone tag, you just enter your address, we price it for you, schedule it for you, all automatically takes about a minute.

And the local lawn care provider is actually doing the work.

We provide a lot of backend infrastructure and software to help them run their businesses better.

So it's kind of like a two-sided marketplace that really benefits both sides.

So I quit the day I got promoted.

I would have been making about $100 all in the next year.

I guess, yeah.

Um, well, I mean, it was just like, I was working with a lot of really smart people and I kind of just realized that like, they were too smart to ever do something like this.

Um, and you know, my thought was like, you know, if I leave work, you know, I'll,

There's never a better time to try than right now.

And worst case, I learn a bunch of stuff and come back and do the same boring job for six figures anyway.

So it's like there wasn't really any downside to doing it.

It wasn't like I had a mortgage or a family that I couldn't support if I did that.

So it's really all upside.

Yeah, he had one semester left.

Um, so, you know, I knew I wanted to do something and I, I actually was like working on it during mornings and nights with him.

And I would get up at five in the morning and go pass out flyers for this service that like really half existed called blonde starter actually wasn't even called that at the time.

And like, we got like 10 customers for me passing out these shitty looking black and white flyers.
