Yeah, I programmed most of it myself.
I mean, I've done some programming with Google before, so I'm able to create it myself very quickly.
And we really put together the MVP in just, you know, less than six months.
Well, I didn't work for Google.
I was their agency partner.
And so there's roughly 10 in the world that were agency partners at the time.
Us, Reach Local, some of the major players.
And so because of that, I got- Why did you stop that business though?
It wasn't mine.
I ran it.
I read the agency.
It was for a fortune 500 company.
So it was an internal and external marketing agency run by a fortune 500 company.
Yeah, we were their top reseller.
And so I got access to do a lot of things with Google and learned a whole lot about small business and what works and what doesn't work.
And so what happened is after roughly 10 years of doing that, I wanted to go off and start my own company.
And I really thought software as a service is the best way to do that.
Yeah.
So we, we got to a million dollars and then I, with COVID and everything, we lost, you know, 90% of our revenue.
