Real quick guys, if you can think about how you found this podcast, somebody probably

when you sold your sticks? And what I wanted to tell you is I actually did what most people would

consider in a non-ideal outcome. And so what I mean by that is that I got advice from most people to

not do a lot of the things that I've done in my life. And these were people who had very good

intentions. And so parents, friends, you know, mentors, things like that. And so, but the decisions

that we ended up making ended up being the right decision for us. And so like for example,
