He wore a black tie. So he's my co-founder and business partner. He's the CEO of the company. Oh, I didn't realize that. Yes. And so he was sort of there all along. And then I think when he realized that, you know, we were selling so many with the handmade product, he said, you know, are you really serious about this? Like, do you want to work?

You know, we really took the time to sort of figure it out and not just sort of have one thing flow into the other. And I said, no, I'm really serious as I believe. And he said, I've started a bunch of businesses. He's been in hospitality and he's invested in companies. He said, you have a unique product. It's going to be well-made, right? It's a new category.

And so he's been an amazing support in terms of like developing the business, but I'm still every single call. I don't want to be the creator that has no idea what's going on in the business.

And he nudged me in the middle of the night and he said, Sarah, Sarah, wake up.
