every Tuesday, get up there and speak about our business confidently, how to build meaningful relationships, how to refer business to other business owners.

And we saw so early on

how business behind closed doors with a group of people that were aligned and wanted to grow their business, like how business was actually getting done.

And we, I don't use the words anymore, the phrase like we got lucky.

We put ourselves in the right situations and environments and we went all in and we focused on building and we had all of the excitement and the motivation and there was nothing that was gonna stop us from building this business.

And so when you sold that first company, take us back to that moment.

Did you know that was going to happen from the jump?

Were you like, I'm sure we're going to kill it with this thing.

We're going to sell this thing.

Or were these things yet again that you kind of came to you in the moment and you figured out as you went along?

We figured everything out, Asa.

went along through relationships that we built.

So it was really like this one breadcrumb led to the next thing, led to the next thing.

But it was being part of that first networking group and organization that we were in that led, it was the catalyst for everything.

But we were always open-minded to learning.

We never thought or wanted to be the smartest people in the room.

We knew what we didn't know and we were always hungry to go find the answers and find someone who could help us.

And what we realized very early on is so many people were willing to have a conversation with us or help us and look at the time, right?

We were social media experts.

So people wanted to talk to us and we had something of value to offer too.
