It's about one building. Okay, I'll grow that. I bought a second building.

0:08.4

And he's from this very small town, Hamilton, Missouri, I think it is.

0:12.5

And so, you know, buys two buildings. And then at some point, they kind of realize,

0:17.6

all right, why do this with like nameless, faceless warehouses? What if we could turn this into content or marketing?

Like the YouTube channel's working. So what if we do kind of YouTube behind the scenes?
