There's no investors.

So I took my savings from healthcare and I said, I can do this.

This is good.

This is what I want to do.

So scary.

And my first year out, I had other nurses that contract with me out doing the IVs because, you know, I was getting my degrees and getting IV certifications.

And my first year out, you know, I would practice on all my friends and anyone who wasn't going to sue me and I could do like six pokes on, right?

And I loved it.

It was great.

But better yet, just being able to be responsible for the outcomes because it was mine.

I loved nutrition.

I loved hydration.

I had a personal story.

I was stuck in my job.

This was a way for me to get out of that and build it.

And I remember like a year and a half in before we kind of knew patterns and history as far as this industry happened.

One of my nurses looked at me in the summer, which was a slower time for us, and she goes, man, I hope it was all worth it.

And I looked at her and there was a fleeting moment, you know, those moments you get.

And I looked at her, I go, this is the exact moment where people give up.

And I'm not willing to do that.
