Welcome to Entrepreneurs the Playbook. I'm David Meltzer, and I am super excited because it's very rare that I have the eclectic privilege of having an entrepreneur, a leader, a visionary, who has walked a walk and has also backed the talk.

And that's someone named Ryan Angott. Thank you for joining me on Entrepreneurs to

you, but that's okay. A lot younger, but you look better. It's a lot of hair pills and, you know,

I do Botox, all that stuff. So, you know, I think it's creativity. And honestly, I get that from my

dad's gene. My dad is a inventor, 44 patents, and he's blessed with creative thinking from a invention standpoint.

Like he'll look at an opportunity to build a product and have a creative mindset around engineering from that lens.

And I've been blessed with that from a business perspective. and have a creative mindset around engineering from that lens.

And I've been blessed with that from a business perspective of creativity,

where if you don't have, you've got to stretch your buck every way to Sunday.

How can you look at something with getting what you want,
