the downside of acquisitions, what we have both learned from buying companies.

We'll tell you the upsides and downsides. I'll tell you more. I like to learn from mistakes.

So the first thing I would say is we wish that, I would say you want to do more due diligence, okay?

So when you're doing it, you can't,

unfortunately we're working with someone

that was trying to get us to close these deals

like in like 30, less than 30 days or so.

That didn't really, that wasn't favorable to the buyer or to sell it,

it was favorable to the broker at the end of the day.

I should have known that. I didn't. The second thing I would say is you have to vet. We didn't

vet enough of the leadership team that they had.

We didn't vet, you know, some of the logos that they had as well.

So we, because we didn't do enough due diligence, I guess that wraps over like the people,

the clients and all that. We couldn't find like a lot of

opportunities for synergies, right? Because when you're looking to buy a company you're looking for

you know complimentary services or a very strong leadership team or you know logos you can upsell and

cross-sell into right? We didn't have a lot of those synergies because we

didn't do enough due diligence so it all comes back to due diligence. The

second thing is when we bought these companies I we hired a GM and we let the GM handle everything and then I floated away from the business right right? That was probably the biggest mistake,

and that's why I'm so big on like you have to be involved now
