And so we got that lined up, you know, during that process. podcast-host

Um so he knew that we were legitimate. podcast-host

Um we really wanted to buy a business that was a bit larger. podcast-host

Um and so the business when we bought it was doing a little under two million in top line and and we were wanting to buy something that was a little bit larger. podcast-host

However, there were some things that were kind of perfect about it. podcast-host

So it was really close to where you lived and you were gonna kind of be El Presidente, you know, and so that was important. podcast-host

And I'll just run with that. podcast-host
