Welcome back discipline to win episode 29 today is part two to our kickoff to 2025 Nick and I today are gonna talk to all of you about how to make this the best year of your life how to improve on Leading there's an organization Working inside an organization and be the best version of yourself. So Nick, I'll sort of kick it over to you What do you think from everybody that's listening today? What is the number one thing they should focus on for next year?

 I think the number one thing is setting goals or achievements that are Measurable so a lot of people go into the new year and they like New Year resolution I hate the word New Year resolution because it's something that is like, okay I'm only gonna do this for maybe 30 days or for the first two months of the year Setting clear measurable expectations of yourself. So for example, let's say that you're 40 pounds overweight and you want to get in shape Yeah, do not whatever if you use a vision board. I don't use a vision where I Personally, I set like fortified business goals and I set four to five personal goals and within my personal goals Like I have one that's dedicated to fitness. So for you if it's you want to lose 40 pounds don't put on your goals I want to get in better shape because that's an unmeasurable goal. It's objective. Exactly You could be to

 be 250 pounds and someone that's 350 thinks you're the picture of health Exactly. Someone that's 195 is like hey, you got a lot of work exactly So

 the number one thing is set measurable goals for yourself going into the next year and also understand that You are not going to Change the world in a month or even a year like especially if it's like, let's say you're severely overweight Like you might not get to your goal weight in a year like this might be a two three four year process if you're an entrepreneur or You're an employee and you want to become an entrepreneur. It might not be a year it might be two or three but setting measurable goals of Getting to a standpoint to put you in a better position to eventually get to that is a win in itself So I think the number one thing people need to do is Definitely write down what you want to achieve. Don't just keep it in your head Don't change it throughout the year like right down at the beginning of the year What those personal and professional goals are going to be and then like steps within the year of how you're going to attain those So that's that's how I go at it and I look back. I just did it. I look back in my 2024 goals There was five goals that I hit there was three goals that I didn't hit So then those will get reframed in the 2025 Why didn't I hit those reflect on that looking at what you did in the past? But if you're starting right now from ground zero Put those personal and professional goals on a piece of paper on your wall Whatever it is, and then you have some measurable aspect to then analyze your year when you look back at the beginning now That's the way that I go about it Do you go about it in a different way? Like how do you kind of set yourself up for the new year as you go year to year?

 I always it starts definitely obviously before you actually get into the new year and I literally like doing it on The last day of the year. So today is you know, December 30th tomorrow is when we're filming this tomorrow's actually New Year's Eve But on New Year's Eve, I will sit down for probably two hours as soon as I wake up and I go back to What I messaged to our organization because every year I send out a New Year's Eve Email to the entire team and I go back and look at you know what was important a year ago to the organization because whatever is important to the organization is Really the most important thing in my life of where my goals are being driven from and I look back at what did I put out? That was really the biggest objective to the team and that did we hit that or not? Then the next thing I always look at is it's any leaders responsibility to get in front of your organization at the start of the year Lay out your strategy on what you're gonna accomplish for the year and how you're gonna get there Think of basically from a sports stance every NFL coach on Monday morning gets up in front of their team and gives them the game plan Of how they're gonna beat the next team the next week Like it's your responsibility as a leader to give your team where you're going and then the game plan of how you're gonna get there So I always then look at you know, exactly what was the strategy and then what changed throughout the year And it's a really important reflection point that's going to drive your decision-making I think for the next year because you don't want to Randomly just throw darts at the wall of just random shit. It should be meaningful and it should also connect You don't want you know, your life is not a a spike chart up and down. It's a lot more, you know Gradual and everything should be connected. It's not you know, rubber band effect, you know one way or the other So I try to connect the goals leading into each other to make it more of a life campaign plan than just fighting individual battles So that's what I do on the business side in the personal side. I already know I think by the end of the year What's most important to me for the next year? I would say, you know for me personally going into 25, you know lots changing my life now with being done with the military So it's gonna free up, you know, really personal time of 50 to 100 days for 2025 so for me, it's the first time in a decade that I've had that much You know essentially free time you can call it to where the biggest gap in my life right now is definitely Time with my kids. So for me my you know I would say biggest personal objective next year is just having even more meaningful time with my two boys and creating Memories, especially now that Anthony's old enough Probably he's gonna remember this next year and everyone really goes back to when they're like four or five and that's their first memories So for me it is to create a lifelong memories with my boys next year that they'll remember the rest of their life with all that free time and You know not just roll that back into work, basically



 Because I just want this to be super meaningful part of their life because everyone's childhood in one way or another really dictates and it's here gonna provide, you know Reinforcement of like I'm gonna be just like that or it's gonna provide Reinforcement of like I'm never gonna do what dad did so I will you know Obviously want them to want to do what I did when they have their own kids So definitely a huge year for me and meaningful with my kids next year from a standpoint of you know personal goals of you know personal success from income for fitness for health I think the biggest thing everyone needs to look at is is Your fitness and health a priority in your life, too Is it built into your schedule every single day the same way that? You know a meeting at work would be built in or like picking your kids up from school Which is obviously like you have to do that is that built in so? Like when I look at my own calendar like I'm at the point where I wasn't at this point a year ago Like a year ago fitness was not built into every day, you know recovery and health was not built into every day and Throughout this year probably started in the like summertime I got super serious about that and you know Made an investment into it and you know hired coaches and built it into my schedule to where I feel Really strong about you know how I have my life and schedule set up to really set me up for success in 25 from a fitness and health standpoint There's a lot of people that are probably like me so Like how my mind is I have to be working towards something or training towards an objective with my fitness or I get I'll call it lost in the sauce There's been like points through my adult life where you know I've got really healthy really fit and then let fell off a cliff because there's just been another priority and I've found that if I'm Training towards something or for something it gives me purpose and motivation to keep going every single day It's something like discipline gets harder and harder and harder the longer you do it every single day like it's just I don't think it Gets any easier. I think it's harder to work for me Incorporating next year fitness objectives of I'm gonna run a marathon I'm gonna complete a half Ironman if you don't Train properly for those things a you get embarrassed in front of everybody B You probably won't even finish to where you know, obviously as a high energy highly successful person Like you'd never want to you know be put in that position. So you have to show up every day so for me putting those objectives of a fitness a Tangible like you said measurable thing that you can actually say like yep I ran 26 miles or yep, you know, I'd swim a mile bike 56 ran 13 like measurable things Helps me in my fitness goals now that I'm out of the military when I was in the military I had you know those hard, you know physical objectives that you had to be able to do at a high level to where I want to make sure that Not having those now. I still have those hard physical fitness objectives that I have to actually tackle So for me, that's how I'm going about my fitness is still having those measurable events There's a date and time and a standard of this is exactly what needs completed To drive me and make sure that I get it done Otherwise, like you said just saying like hey, I want to be in the best shape my life next year. What is that? Yeah, you know what? I mean? Like I think I think you're a hundred percent spot-on. It has to be measurable so going into you know, really I'd say the two or three places that everyone that's listening right now finds themselves in Right now everyone that's listening to this is an employee in an organization And they want to get a promotion next year get a raise next year get a bonus next year Get equity in their organization next year. They're in the entrepreneur You know status, so I think I want to finish touching on that with you Everyone is in the you know I'm trying to kick-start my life and I don't know if I should get a job, you know when I graduate college or you know start a side hustle something like that or You've already started an organization or you were a leader in an organization and you want to set those goals for next year So I want to finish touching on first the entrepreneur because I think that is the hundred percent easiest road to success That's how both of us got our start was being an entrepreneur first Which is just working inside an organization and finding ways to add value and continuously improve. So



 Your you know, really entrepreneur road was fairly short You know, it was 18 months and mine wasn't much longer than that mine was like 24 months. So talk through, you know this sort of different I'd say chapters of the story and your story as an entrepreneur and You know what you did immediately that everyone that's listening to this that's an employee in an organization like what can they do in 25 to add as much value as possible to make themselves as Important in the organization as possibly

 I think the first thing you have to shed your ego at the door Whatever your however old you are like whatever you've done before if you're really looking to make a change in your life You need to shed the ego at the door and you need to understand a lot of people online They talk about all your time is so valuable Like you need to allocate this to your time outsource this when you're starting at grounds here your time is not valuable That's the only value that you have and

 actually whatever salary you accepted. That's exactly what your time's that's

 what you're worth So it starting from the beginning You need to recognize that like you do not have the luxury of outsourcing You do not have the luxury of delegating your time is your only valuable asset, especially like for me I was right out of college. I didn't have that much of a real-world skill set So like my time was my only valuable thing. I recognized that very early. So I knew for Especially the first year my biggest value was working as many possible hours that I could to help the organization Help you help our other partners other employees Do anything that I could to help so obviously like on our side of the business on the advisor side I was doing all that but then I was looking for areas in marketing administrative whatever else it was I mean other business opportunities up around the office like you you have to understand that When you do not have a skill set or you do not have experience You need to allocate as much time as possible. And yes, I will tell you like those first two years At least that's what it was for me It's like two years were like you pretty much have to commit to like your life is not gonna be that fun It's really it's not like you have to be like if you really want it It's like two years of like you are going to sleep less you are going to work a ridiculous amount You are not going to go out with friends. You're gonna miss parties You're going to do all of those things, but if you can lock in for those two years like now Especially us like our goals have completely shifted like my workouts used to be like I was working until 11 12 o'clock at night and I was still getting up at 5 o'clock in the morning and working out my workouts weren't it's great My sleep was all right. My health was going downhill Like now at this point the things I'm prioritizing are like at what time of the day Can I get my best workout in am I getting my eight hours of quality sleep every single night so that I can come in the next Day and make high level decisions because it's no you start to shift away from like you're not Yes, we're still grinding. Yes, we're still working more than 99% of people but as you become more of like the entrepreneur and you're like CEO or CEO or partner whatever it is like your job is not to like be in the lab 24-7 like how we used to be on the computer and Grinding until all hours of the night like your job is to come in and make high quality decisions to help drive your organization and give Opportunity to those people within your organization. So like Going back to like originally what I was talking about You don't you don't need the eight hours of sleep at that Well, you don't because you don't have it you don't have the knowledge or the experience to make a high quality decision But what you do have is you have the time to do the grunt work to do the grind work to do the things that others Are not willing to do and I can promise you in any organization Like from working at a bank to you're literally let's say working for like a large landscaping company or whatever It is like if you're putting in more time than those around you and the person whoever runs that organization Notices that and you're able to add additional value to whatever they're doing I can promise you 99.9% of the time they are gonna give you more opportunity to earn more Compensation and to possibly become like get more responsibility and become a leader in the organization so I think if you're like, let's say you're employee base level or you're coming out of college like Do not you gotta shed the ego you're not valuable There's a million people just like you and the way to make yourself valuable is like not just working 40 hours a week and doing the Bare minimum and punching in and punching out like you have to commit to you are gonna miss a lot in the first two years You are not gonna have that much fun. You're not gonna go on trips You're not gonna and if that's not the life for you, then then that's not for you Then you just like keep doing like what you're doing and if that's what makes you happy Then that's wonderful because ultimately like above all like everything that you're supposed to do in life should drive you to making happy And providing for those around you and like if you can do that by working your nine to five and like you're happy You can provide for those then you don't have like you can cut out from this podcast cuz like you don't need to listen to the rest, but if you're somebody else who like truly wants more then I think just accepting that fact of like I'm gonna do whatever it takes for at least a two-year period no matter what the cost is of that That's the mindset that you have to be going in and I think like you would agree with that You're in a lot different situation too because you had a child when that was going on like fortunately for me I had nothing time you died. It was just like right.

 It was my Responsible for well my entrepreneur time though. I didn't have a kid Yeah, which is why again like I was only at the off like yeah There was nothing else that I had to do at that point that like was more important than finding a way to You know just find ways to improve the organization. So You know my entrepreneur time I would say I had multiple entrepreneur times so like my first Real job out of college. I had the exact same mindset as you of I had nothing but time and no skills So I did the exact like all you need to do is literally just be the first person at the office and just be there until Nobody until everybody else leaves you could literally be in your office like spinning in circles in your chair and literally the Perception which is extremely important of everyone in the organization is like while John is a grinder He lives at the office and you'll build that perception to where people are in a meeting and they're like, hey Who can we count on it's like Oh John never leaves like yep Let's give him a shot Yeah Like it literally if you're just willing to sacrifice and commit time you're already 90% of the way there and then when you're there You might as well be doing something productive. So find ways to cut cost and pay for yourself you know that was what I did because I was in a management role right out of college and Just found ways to cut expenses in the organization that literally paid for my salary Very quickly. I was able to do that And so the executive leadership was like that is unique No one's ever come in and paid for themselves before in saving the organization expenses So that's what I did in that organization. Then when I got into this one before I bought the company I did the exact same thing every day was just like how can we make more money? How can we save more expense and how can I just add to our output? That should be everyone's thought like think what matters to a business Anyone that's running a business their fiduciary responsibility is to generate profit to the shareholders of the organization and make things better for whoever the customers are in the organization and Find ways to add to efforts to that fight and you'll advance so we both had that you know for me it was you know Three years I would say of being an entrepreneur before I had like the maneuverability to actually make every decision I wanted to to improve the organization as an entrepreneur When I didn't have kids then but like you know We were in a lot of the grind together for a few years and that's where you know I had a child which that's when I were like really sucks. Yeah, they have to give up that time. So You know definitely anyone who does not have a child like you literally have new Reason to like not just work. Yeah, and if again like you can have



 Fun goals for the next year also, but like your vision board if you have one shouldn't be I want to like take do more travel yeah, like if you have nothing like if you're sitting in a studio apartment and



 You literally have no money and like you have nothing to show for your professional career Your goals for next year shouldn't be I want to go to Cancun and then I want to go to like the Bahamas And I don't want to take a cruise like sure you can do those things But I can promise if your only goal is like how do I max out my PTO? And like there's people that will do tiktoks on how to like schedule their PTO around holidays to like Maximize it like if you were spending time trying to figure that stuff out



 Again tune off. Yeah stop watching the podcast. Yeah It should be you know, how do like you shouldn't care about you know PTO or you know Holidays like it should be honestly everyone who's you know Really made it here like has worked all of those holidays Yeah Like doesn't really care about PTO because again, they're trying to their bought in and trying to move the organization forward Which unfortunately our business does not stop. Yeah, you know on MLK day or any or Columbus Day or anything like that. So yeah, like I



 Until a very successful point in your career your time is your biggest asset Yeah, and you just have to just allocate all of it that you can to move the organization forward

 the other thing to I would want to touch on is in 2025 if Again, if you're starting from grounds here if you have nothing Commit to this year that this is gonna be the year that you're gonna take risk commit to the year that like you're gonna take Max risk like in whatever it is I don't know what that situation is for you, but like just my personal experience when I was about it was about a year in and I bought like my first percentage of the company



 The Monthly payments and I touched on this before but my monthly payments for my debt Compared to what my income was was I was going to be making less than three thousand dollars net a month Yeah, it was like twenty five hundred dollars a month net to where if the business did not grow Like I literally would have ran myself into bankruptcy I wouldn't have been able to pay my rent pay my bills But I bet on myself that we were gonna continue to grow we were gonna continue to develop So I put I took max risk I put every single dollar that I had you're like 23 at 23 years old like because I always say you got bankrupt Then you're 30 if I would have failed like if you're 23 years old or even if you're 30 years old and like you Don't have a family and you don't have kids yet like You don't have risk if you don't don't have anything to pay for so like in 2025 if you're looking to make that jump Take max risk I don't care what anyone says like max risk like if you need to put on Everything on credit cards and do it into your business do it because if you go bankrupt you have nothing to lose like there's nothing That you're going backwards for like now if you're in if you're in your mid 40s And you have a family and you have a house that's your priorities taking care of those people So yes, you may have to maneuver a little bit different

 afford to go to zero when you have other dependents, correct?

 You can't afford to go to zero But like if you're in my situation, especially if you're coming right out of college You need to max risk everything like and you need to be comfortable with that because if you do not take max risk like it's like anything else in the world like the conservative investment is never gonna get you the Like 50% return or double like potential return like you have to be able to take master it so in this year Like take that max risk like if it means putting everything on the line like put it all on the line like who cares No one goes to zero like and just accept that and I think like I mean we've done that a million times over to this point and yeah, we're now in a position like Fortunately that we'll always continue to take risk But now we're in a position where we can take more calculated risk like at the beginning Truthfully you you might have to take reckless risk at the beginning like I took reckless risk at the beginning like it was completely reckless like I didn't even tell anyone what my situation was because At least the people that cared about me would have probably been like don't do that and I knew that that's what they were gonna say so I didn't tell anyone like what that would have been because Yeah, it was taking on a million dollars worth of debt when you're making like fifty thousand dollars Yeah, so like at the time it sounded like insane But yeah, I think again whatever that is for you like take extra risk this year like go into this year knowing that like Hey, I'm gonna put it on the line And if it doesn't work out doesn't matter because you didn't really have much at first anyways So no you're you only have upside you really don't have that much downside



 But yeah, I think that's like another huge component because doing everything safe You're not gonna really get ahead leaps and bounds by going the safe way like it's always the road less traveled by that's gonna get you To the place that a lot of people don't get to go to Which is like that point where if that's your goal of being a successful business owner and an entrepreneur like that's what you got to do

 Yeah, so so we hammered the entrepreneur route So option two is this is for everybody that's like looking to get their first job They're wondering should I go into the workforce and I would say for people looking to go into the workforce They have a few different options. There's obviously go, you know corporate America so I'd say organizations that are 500 plus employee and above or a thousand plus employee above organizations, which is you could say the safest route to go if you're just looking to be an employee because Odds are those companies aren't gonna go out of business at that point once you have that many employees now They still have in the past but odds are they're not The jet like so most likely the job is always gonna be there and that's gonna be healthcare 401k and you could be a Sort of normal person and just follow the normal track. So that's you know option one option two would be working at a You know small business similar to the businesses we have, you know 50 employees hundred employees 200 employees That's not as safe as the corporate America because those companies obviously aren't running Multi-billion dollar balance sheets to where you know, they have the ability to sort of operate forever



 You know the company could fail at some point lot higher reward potential because as we both did you could build yourself into an intrapreneur there and eventually get equity in that business or Option three would be and this would be the highest reward potential Most risk would be trying to figure out how to solve a problem and start your own Type of business. So that's option three, I guess so for you know I'd say we're biased because we obviously wanted max reward potential, but we didn't go and just start something brand new We took the intrapreneur route, which I think is the you know Best route to go as far as you know from a standpoint of feasibility I would say most businesses that are starting off completely from scratch. I'd say most probably go out of business I'm sure there's no learn a lot being an inch. Yeah, you do because you don't know everything not even close No, it's sort of like a cheat code to like rapid rapid fire your growth.

 Yeah, it is and we talked about that all the time There's no book that teach you how to be like there's entrepreneurial books But there's no book that teach you how to like run a business Especially in like whatever industry you're going in

 and if you're gonna run the business you do need to understand your industry first Yeah

 and I think like even if your your goal is like let's say you do go corporate America and You get to a point where you can at least Figure out like the inner workings of how they run and you do that for three four years And maybe you have like a really good VP or good manager or something and they like mentor you Yeah, and then you go out and take that entrepreneur step I do give credit to all the people who like with your experience started a business from scratch and grew it into something great with Like no guidance. That's very very good. Those are the unicorns. Yeah, like that's really

 really there's a graveyard of yeah, you know failed Businesses and bankrupt folks that try to do that.

 Yeah, that's that's really difficult to do So I applaud you if you are one of those people that has built like a seven eight nine figure business from essentially scratch with no Guidance because yeah, I would say that's few and far between but the true cheat code to your point is you find a business Whether it be small whether it be large you figure out the inner workings of that business and then okay I'm gonna take what went well what didn't go well and then start my own and I'm gonna apply those things and then and then Move forward, right?

 So if you're either at corporate America or you know small to midsize business Basically, just learn what your boss does and then once you know like first I guess you need to master your whatever your role is then learn your boss's role and then try to learn what everyone else in The organization that it should just be the knowledge knowledge knowledge I remember when you came in you sat with everybody and we had a really small team But still you sat with everybody in the building and wanted to learn and master what everybody did and it wasn't like oh Like I can't do paperwork. Yeah, there was no I'm too good for that Like you did all of your own paperwork. Yeah, you started just so you could learn it so whatever your job is just try to gain knowledge sit with every team that will give you time and just Basically again, you don't know anything You're nobody just gain as much knowledge as possible. So yeah, I think that's a huge cheat code too And again, it just adds to the perception of this is a person that wants to be here and wants to grow Because perception is reality in every single organization



 But yeah I know I would say really like if you're going to go that third row the third option Which is just start something brand new fresh again Like there's no risk because what are you risking if if you're in that spot? So if you're just graduating college Or let's say, you know, you're quitting your job to go do this Most likely you really don't have much money at risk here. You're gonna be a you have some savings Let's say five to ten thousand dollars or you're getting a loan from family for ten twenty thirty thousand dollars or if you have some Great community bank that's willing to lend you like twenty five thousand dollars Which I'd be shocked if they'd even do that today's lending environment like you're talking about ten to twenty grand here So it's not really risking anything or you got a credit card with ten or fifteen grand and use max that so like again You're not risking much But I would say that the best way to do it which we have started some businesses essentially from zero Is just figure out a way to solve a problem and run with it and be the best at solving that problem and just say yes To everything. There's no problem. You can't solve that's that And if we look at everybody that built anything large it all started with how do I make this one thing better? How do I you know improve this thing or I found a problem? How do I solve it and then just like start obviously taking it to people and you just want to gain as much notoriety around that thing so just Don't try to I guess you know Start with just oh, I want to create a product You definitely need to solve something first with a service or you could solve something with a product So that's what I would my advice would be to you know Do if you're gonna go that route but to go into really you know I would say the minority of the people that would be Watching this would be to the entrepreneurs that are out there that are already running organizations What advice Nick would you give them for?

 2025 if you're like the leader of your organization You have to understand that is it is always your job to be bringing more opportunity to the people that Work for you like that is your sole purpose is to continue to drive The ship forward an extra foot an extra yard to make sure that more Opportunity is coming into the firm for the for the people that you take care of because ultimately if you employ people You work for them you need to understand that like you are responsible for your life Like if you're the one signing their paycheck like they're the ones who are counting on you for that like they're the that's feeding Their family that's paying their rent so The way that you continue to improve that for people is you continue to bring opportunity into your firm and that's the the growth aspect of continuing to grow a business



 And what I would say is especially if you're starting out I'll go back to my original point you you have to commit your life to it like you cannot do it half-assed It is not like I know some people say like the whole side hustle thing like I've never been a believer in the side hustle like we've anything we've done We've gone to 1000% into and we've just gone into it full steam ahead

 and I'll stop you There were a few things along the way we did have and what happened they go to zero anything We did half-ass it was a complete like you might as well just set through the money in a fire pit and light it on fire They suck yeah, like if you're allocated an hour or two hours a day to something like it never anything We've done that with didn't work. It doesn't work.

 Yeah, so in 2025 if you're the business owner understand your job is bring more opportunity in and understand that Earning money and growing a business is the byproduct of the scale in which you impact people So like if you can find a way like you said to solve a problem If you can find a way to create a better service model than the guy down the street if you can find a way that Cares about your clients and your customers more and you can continue to do that at scale That's what the largest companies are there all they are are a byproduct of Impacting people in a positive way at the largest scale So keep that in mind as you go like take care of your clients like give them that call on their birthday if they they're in the hospital send them the flowers when they're in the hospital like truly care about the people that you serve in your business and Just from that and we've seen it with ours the byproduct that you will just continue to drive if you could take your Mind off of the numbers and the money and truly care about like how do I? Impact my customers and my clients in a more positive way the scale and the opportunity will naturally come to you That's how the world works Like it truly is like it's it's like the Trump quote like the harder that you work The luckier you become like the more we care about our people the harder that we worked We the more time we put into them the more lucky opportunities have come our way because it does take some luck sometimes But I can guarantee you that if you're working hard and you have the people at your focus You will become luckier and like you will look around and be like wow like this is Incredible once you've done it for two three four years with the amount of opportunity that comes to you purely from being like You put the numbers on the backside and you're like I just need to focus on creating the best product or service possible for the final that I serve

 Anytime like the few pivotal moments that I can put my finger to that I would say like took some luck to get us where we were Was only a byproduct of us just going like above and beyond yep, you know Where most 99% of people would have just like took it out and just went about their day So a hundred percent like there's no way that you can do all the right things day in and day out for years And stack those days in the months and years without eventually a few opportunities coming your way Like there's no way now and you have to believe that they'll come and it like Again, like there's no reason that you and I should be really in the position We're at today Besides it's a byproduct of the work that we put in and the sacrifices that we made like we've like there were zero handouts There was zero, you know Right place right times It was literally just like a byproduct of just stacking days into weeks and months and then years of doing what nobody else would do They got us where we're at today. Yep, like cuz we went the hardest route, which was having zero money Yeah, like you could like we always say it'd be real nice to get into our industry just starting with a big pot of money Yeah, that's how you like jump through the last five years of hell that we fought through to get to a rat today. Yeah But really to close this out tomorrow is the five-year anniversary You know of our organization to where you know, literally five years ago Did it tomorrow? You know, I was you were still in college.
