And we're back. Sorry about that. I got blessed with the tiny tanks, right? So when you're pounding water all day, like I am, I think I've in the last like 10 days, I'm like, I've been on 30 hours of flights. And when you're going to places, you don't eat, right? You don't drink, right? You don't hydrate, right? I'm not sick. But you just get run down. So I'm drinking tons of electrolytes and trying to hydrate. The bright part to that is I have to get up and take a break every now and then. So I appreciate your patience. Listen, I want to pivot because I love talking about data centers.
We know you love talking about data centers. That is clear to everyone. The passion is so deep.
Well, listen, I appreciate that. I hope that everyone gets to work in a career field where they have a similar passion, what they do. And if not, then they should quit what they're doing and go find their passion. But your passion's AI. And Snowfire, which is a pretty badass logo, by the way. Like, listen, talk to us about, like, when you started this thing, you know, we know why you did it, right? But did you show up knowing what the abilities of that technology were going to be day one? Or were you really just engaging with clients and saying, where are the gaps? Where are the blind spots? I mean, how did you get to where you're at? Because I'll share with you what our vision is for Oscar AI when we're done.
But first... What do people need to know about Snowfire? This isn't... Snowfire is a very advanced adaptive AI platform that's not really designed for consumers. It's designed for complicated businesses like ours. Yes. Right? Well, very well said. Well, think about it like this. I think if you're listening to this right now, this was probably the most important part of the podcast. They could fast forward through the other shit because this is the truth. You know, much like the automobile industry, it's fascinating. From 1900 to 1929, we created 3.7 new jobs. 3.7 million new jobs were created by one industry. Henry Ford didn't create an automobile. He created a... a 40 hour work week with a whole sub-economy.
And that sub-economy was 75 to 80% small businesses. Okay. That meant like most of the businesses, you have a little bit of an old guy. I believe there's a finite amount of people that build cars. There's a finite amount of people that have airplanes and airlines, but yeah, There were an unlimited amount of businesses that were created because of the automobile. How many people was Ford buying windshields and seatbelts and tires or brakes from, right? So there's an ecosystem that exists. Today, in the AI data center revolution, 75% of this entire industry today are small businesses. I'm a small business. For me, AI... was a tool that allowed david to go head-to-head against goliath i felt like ai leveled the playing field against me in companies that are 100 times my size right so i looked at ai as a tool that would allow me to um compete and continue to fight above my weight class you know
For all the people that are listening, know that the data center industry is 75% ecosystem small business. How do these businesses adopt... This technology, I think, is more... I'm sure as you grow and scale as your business, I'm sure you'll be the same size as Palantir. My thing is, when that happens, you'll be serving all shapes and sizes of businesses. But today, you're helping small businesses like ours go compete in an emerging industry that I'm only focused on human beings. The primary line of business I use to generate revenue is a human. I'm only focused, we don't measure on that. We measure it on the soul. We count it as a soul and how many we get to change. I believe there's life-changing events throughout your life, a marriage, a death, the birth of a child.
For some people, it's a career change. For some, it's when they join the military. For some, it's the first job they got when they got out of the military. For us, we will evolve into a school. Our build-down movement is up in Dallas, and that schoolhouse is already underway.
