So I'm 40 now.

So I'm unfortunately on the older end of most people in the industry.

But, uh, yeah, so I, you know, I did that in high school and, um,

uh, you know, grew that company to a, to a pretty sizable company when it was 19, 20 years old.

Um, and then left that started a company called ad knowledge.

Yeah.

I mean, I think it was 140, 150 employees, you know, doing 80, 90 million in revenue margins.

Yeah.

Very profitable business.

I mean, we, I think we were one of the very few companies during the.com boom that was, you know, making, you know, close to a million dollars a month in EBITDA.

You know, we went through the crash.

So that, that was a, uh, that was an interesting learning experience.

So we had a, we had a pretty big profitable business that, um, that for a whole bunch of reasons, mainly most of our advertisers were.com companies, uh, ultimately didn't ultimately didn't survive that, that cycle.

Um, but then, then from that really moved in online advertising, sort of a whole string of different online advertising companies, um, prior to, to masterwork sort of a company called payability, um,

which essentially finances e-commerce sellers.

I think it's an interesting business.

I think a lot of these companies in today's dynamics are struggling depending on who they've loaned money to.

I think payability is really unique because we've lent money to e-commerce sellers

which right now are counter-cyclical, right?

So e-commerce is on fire, but traditional retail is really, really struggling.
