And that would maybe break even a little bit, but it was still kind of burning cash.

And then I was sort of desperately looking for some sort of passive income.

you know, so mostly so that I could keep working on solar lists.

I was like, just give me something that's going to throw off two grand a month so that I can stay in the game.

And, um, that kind of prototyping search for something, uh, is what led to store mapper.

It was like, I was working with Shopify clients and,

On an hourly basis, one of them asked me to build a store locator app for them.

And I thought, okay, this is so common.

There must be some plug-and-play version of this, and there really wasn't.

So I kind of experimented with the idea of...

of seeing if I could just, you know, productize that versus just kind of, uh, you know, doing it as client work.

And I, I did, I, so I built the first version of store mapper on a single flight.

Um, and it was talking like New York to Boston or New York to San Francisco flight.

San Francisco to Buenos Aires, Argentina.

It was a longer flight.

Yeah.

Um, but, uh, yeah, this is a long story.

This is actually, I, I, the flight where I went down there, I ended up, it was like my first real date with, um, the woman who's now my wife, but anyway, what's her name?

No, no, no, no.

We had a bunch of mutual friends, actually.
